Are you going to follow up on your question or was it just meant to thinly prop up your initial post as more than fluff mechanic discussion?
It was late for me so I went to bed, sorry.
Anyways, like I said I want to establish a baseline for how people feel about the mechanic, considering that it lets us publicly and unilaterally decide to lynch somebody. It’s not really something I can “follow up” on as it were, especially with how few people actually seem interested in sharing thoughts on the mechanic. That being said, I still fail to see how qualifies as fluff considering that the mechanic is core enough to the game to have its own section in the rules, with clearly defined rules as to how it works. It’s not like, say, Monopoly mafia and speculating on how the board and pieces function D1 with nothing to go on. And it’s 100% more interesting to me than the lynch vs no lynch discussion that’s dominated so much of today.
I’m at work now but I expect to be able to check in pretty frequently today. I’ve gone through the thread this morning and I can at least start by sharing my initial thoughts on various topics of interest.
CoolestSpot’s vagueish claim: I think the only game I’ve played with Coolest was Berserk, and in that game I was made painfully aware of how bold he can be with claims- even if they aren’t true. That’s not saying I’m immediately chalking this up to being BS but at the very least I know that if anybody is bold enough to fakeclaim in the game’s opening post, it’s Coolest. I do at least like his insistence on the phrasing “powers beyond roles” in regards to his role as I think that plays well with the speculative nature of his opening post.
Lynch vs No Lynch: lynch (hom3land’s post #212 aligns very close to my own thoughts if you want more details)
Lynch vs No Lynch but the part where heymonkey and Faddy wanted to no lynch even before the game started: If they wanted to no lynch since before roles went out, then this is, at worst NAI. If either/both happened to roll scum then perhaps the motivation may have changed at some point, but yeah.

we’ve got multiple pages of posts at this point, not really seeing an rng vote as a smart choice here. I’m gonna at least hope you’ve got thoughts to share.
