Scotty, you can still win with me instead of with Rico. That winner banner looks good on you.

Re: 2015 Game Of Champions Sign Up Thread
I played reborn but I don't remember it being a major plot point unless I didn't realize it was a policy lynch. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just trying to get clarity on something I don't quite get.MacDougall wrote:Lol I swear you were playing in the game that it was a major plot point of (Reborn)?juliets wrote:What is a policy lynch?

I remember a game that started with policy lynching shenanigans, but I don't remember which one (didn't play Reborn, if that happened as well).

google wrote:A Policy Lynch is one that is done for arbitrary reasons.
Most commonly, it describes the lynch of a player who is not found to be particularly scummy, but because the player's bad play will hurt the town later on. However, policy lynches can be requested on other players - for instance, players who claim Vengeful under duress will generally be lynched.
The efficacy of policy lynches is a hotly debated topic in almost any game in which it comes up due to the fact that the town arguably loses an opportunity to lynch a scummy player.

I did it in two games at the same time. Dune and Reborn. I also joked about doing it in the Star Wars game.Ricochet wrote:I remember a game that started with policy lynching shenanigans, but I don't remember which one (didn't play Reborn, if that happened as well).
I'm not gonna do it anymore lol. It's just a joke.
Policy lynch = when you lynch someone because of a reason beyond what they've done in the thread. You might have a policy lynch of always day 1 lynching the lurkiest player or a policy lynch of lynching Matt because he is always wrong as a civ. Like lynching Han Solo on the crucial day instead of the scum for instance.

All roles are sent. If you expected one and did not get it,let me know.
I can start fielding questions via PM at this time about roles. Some roles I may need to clarify things with TH; if so answers may take a bit longer
