I want to put this out there right now: If LC is bad, nobody is getting any credit for lynching him. Including Jack. Especially Jack.
Jack is hellbent on seeing Long Con lynched. First off, I don't know how he can be so confident in this setup and at this juncture. He can be only one of two things: A recklessly confident civilian, or someone who is certain Long Con will be revealed to be Mordor.
Consider the dynamic:
Jack is going HAM on Long Con, but Long Con isn't even pushing back. Indeed, LC said this:
Typical distancing in this scenario involves both teammates going HAM against each other, but I believe Jack and LC are both smart enough to know that and recognize that. Rather than go that route, LC takes his licks and calls Jack good.Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 11:55 pm Okay, one thing I was just thinking about and I need to get into this thread immediately before I forget or whatever... When Jack made his plea that epignosis just denied, and I posted the Lord of the Rings YouTube clip, I thought that was a very real sounding plea from Jack. I believe it.
If Jack were bad, then he doesn't need to make that kind of post, he just needs to stay the course and Lynch long con. Baddie Jack doesn't need epignosis to just trust that he is Civ. I really don't think that scum Jack needs to make that post at that time.
Something else about this post is the urgency LC seems to feel: "I need to get into this thread immediately before I forget or whatever..."
First, I don't know how you would forget your own opinion, and second, I don't understand the urgency when Jack has probably taken the least amount of suspicion this entire time (someone feel free to disagree with me if you feel that isn't the case).
So it looks phony to me.
The post LC was referencing was this one:
If Jack is bad, then he is trying to gain my trust enough to get me to lynch Long Con. If I go along with him and Long Con isn't bad, then it's game over, the mafia notched a clean sweep, and I will feel like a dummy.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 12:19 pm
I could answer your concerns about me but I don't see a universe where I get lynch today and I'd rather not spend a lolo day defending myself instead of finding baddies. That said, I think you're town and I don't want your suspicions of me to cause you to vote for the wrong player.
Can you assume I'm town just for today?
If they are both bad, then Jack knows what the outcome of the LC lynch would be, and it makes it incredibly difficult to lynch Jack Day 7, who would "survive the Night" as a "civilian" because there's an outed civilian mafia need to deal with.
All of this said, I am not calling Jack bad if LC is bad. I want the civilians to be aware of the connections I've pointed out if Long Con is bad and we have to do this all over again. That's all.
The rule is this: No credit for anybody if this lynch is successful. None.
