My own thoughts on the talk of night actions, serial killers, and the like.
Our primary focus should be on finding and lynching the scum faction. I am not saying that if there is a serial killer and we're sure who they are we don't lynch them. But I am saying that focusing on hunting a serial killer instead of the grouped scum faction is a recipe for disaster.
We only get a limited number of lynches, and ... whatever happened that presumably prevented all kills last night is unlikely to repeat. If we waste a lynch focusing on a potential serial killer, we fail to have votes an patterns that lead to figuring out who is on the scum team and who might be co-aligned. The scum faction benefits doubly from the rest of us as a group focusing on a serial killer - not only can it potentially take the heat off them today, but it also gives them an excuse for their votes on townies if we were to accept them under the guise of hunting the serial killer. While, again, if we lynch a SK incidentally to hunting the scum faction I'd be ecstatic, but I'm personally going to be VERY suspicious of any votes made under the guise of targeting a SK.
On the subject of claims and n2 targets... I'm not sure where to go with that. A claim that Jacq was targeted is interesting, and airey's claim of having been targeted even more so. And... WHY... would you make that claim Airey? In what world, if said claim is true, is it GOOD for a role like that to be made public? What's your endgame here? Like, I'm trying to think of a situation where a townie would trueclaim that and have it be pro-town, and I'm drawing a complete blank. I'd say it sounds like scum trying to avoid getting targeted on a following night (again?) by the SK, but that sounds almost too obvious.
