I just got home and my wife made me a special dinner of ribs, so I'm gonna have a nice dinner, and I should have an hour or so available to start getting up to speed.

There were some...after dinner activities as well <___<

But I'm here for the moment so I'll say what I can, while I can.

It was zam to death and death pointed out it incriminated zam

Yes, that was zam. But that was just a part of a large jumble of poorly organized "zam-walls" that took up the whole beginning of Topic 1, Page 5. When we get confirmation of zam's alignment I'm guessing there will be a lot of interesting things to see in there.

.

Now reading topic 1 I see some miller stuff that doesn't mean a whole lot to me yet, and from there it transitions into leo's for-no-reason-plum-vote followed by a lot of discussion of leo and that vote.

And on that I'm fairly torn, because I feel like in theory, I agree with Leo in that it can be good just to go with something and see what happens. But in practice I'm not sure if it works as well as it might in theory.

The way I see it town as a whole is like a tree, and the members of town/scum are all branches on that tree. And in this analogy lynching someone is represented is snapping off a branch to see it's alignment. And in theory I think it's a very good idea to take a branch and give it a good bend. Not all the way until breaking, but enough to see some results. To see how that branch interacts with the branches near it, and how the stress on that branch affects the tree as a whole. You can get a lot of juicy reactions by taking a branch to nearly it's breaking point. But you don't want to just pick a single branch or two at random and apply meaningless pressure, and that's where I feel leo misses the mark. Maybe you start at someone at random, but you don't stop there. You bend the branch, you take stock of how everyone reacts, and you pick one of those reactions to test with the next branch. And I think in theory if we could apply REAL pressure to a half dozen people (or more) during day 1 that would give us an incredible wealth of information. We could paint a veritable taspestry of all the reactions and impressions. But in practice we end up only putting real pressure on maybe 2 people throughout the day with only the barest of stray votes on anyone else and not enough teamwork as a town to make any of that pressure significant.
