Look, Casi! A page of posts! Eight hour extension, plz?
Really, hitting a deadline or lynching a random townie (i.e. me) are both losing situations here.
Shiri's actually being reasonable about this, soooo...
I'm a variant of the paranoid gun owner. This is how I could tell you that Silferras was not targeting Solanis. Silferras died because Silferras tried to kill me. It's not unlimited, and there are situations in which the roleblocking component of my bombs will give out and I end up nightkilled. I have the limited ability to forgo my protection to actively kill someone, but unlike Dylara, I don't believe in indiscriminately killing townies. My best value to the town was to try to draw as much fire as possible (such as implying that I had a tracking ability) while not claiming or inspiring anyone on the town to target me. It hasn't worked out so well, unfortunately.
Anyways, now I've pretty much guaranteed that I won't get targetted by scum, so y'all can go ahead and consider me a townie from this point on.

Dugan switched his vote to me.
Whoops, my bad.

Hey, look, triple post.
So ok, I acknowledge that I'm a safer loss than, say, Dugan. We want a lynch rather than risking the confirmed investigator, and if I really need to take this one for the team, so be it. Anyways, it seems like no matter how much I ride y'all for running around like cattle, you don't stop doing it. It really seems like the best we can get out of the people who're awake is guessing the mod. Paying attention, analyzing posts, looking for patterns, that's what this game is about. The difference between scum and town is that the scum know who each other are, but they're a minority. The scum win by not getting lynched. All else being equal, the town eventually loses for simply failing to guess right, and people very rarely notice the absence of information. This is why scum tend to get lurky. (Not accusing Shaddus here, just saying. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Llandros being clueless town, though, which leaves us in a tough spot for a quick lynch.)
So, rather than berate you all some more, let's have a mafia exercise! Who defended who? Who backed out of a lynch right before the lynch happened? If you talk lots and stop following people you think know what they're doing, maybe Casilu won't drop the deadline hammer.

Wrong method. The only thing that'll do is make people want to vote for you to get rid of you. Regardless of how beneficial people may or may not be, the other players aren't likely to want to believe someone who insults them on a regular basis.
(And yeah, I know it doesn't take ten hours to write that. Usually. It does when you write half before and half after work.
