  1. > Pushing lynches -- Pushing lynches require a few components. You need to be:
  2. - Convincing
  3. - Towny
  4. - Logical
  5. So, in that sense you have to be townread first before you can push lynches because otherwise you are just tunneling.
  6. Of course, it's not REQUIRED, really (to be townread), but then you have to fulfill the next two requirements which are
  7. being convincing and logical. When it comes to the 3 methods of argumentation (Ethos, Pathos, Logos -- Authority, Emotions,
  8. Logic), using emotions is the least convincing. Appealing to authority (which we would call metagaming -- "i'm experienced
  9. why would I do this"), is the second least convincing, and logos (cold hard logic) is the most powerful of the three. So,
  10. knowing that, your arguments need to be based less of off the first two and more on the last.
  11. The format should be in the form of: "We should lynch [PERSON], because [REASON WHY IT'S PROTOWN TO LYNCH THEM] and
  12. [REASON WHY THEY ARE SCUMMY] and [REASON WHY THEIR DEFENSE FAILS]."
  13. EX. I think we should probably lynch madains. I think it's the safest lynch because she's at the top of most
  14. fos lists. And, there's been some obvious buddying going on. She hasn't even really defended herself very
  15. well and just derailed off of the FOS I had on her.
  16.  
  17. > Defense
  18. A sufficient defense need to cover all possible methods in which you can be mafia. You can't simply rely on "fmpov
  19. i'm not mafia therefore i am not" arguments, you have to speak from everyone else's point of view. That's the only way
  20. that would be convincing. Speaking confidently and from a town point if view is IMPORTANT, but if you are in a position
  21. where you need to defend, you have to speak from other people's point of views and show them how you can't be mafia no
  22. matter how many ways you slice it. Three things have to happen in a defense:
  23. - Showing everyone how you have HURT the mafia.
  24. - Showing everyone else how you have HELPED town.
  25. - An "I cannot be mafia because these actions do not make sense for mafia" (NOT "i can't be mafia because
  26. mafia would not do this") statement.
  27.  
  28. Follow this format and you should be safe.
  29. EX. I'm not mafia because when I helped clear madains, that was something that helped town. We didn't
  30. have any clears before that, so I could have just stayed silent instead of speaking up and giving us
  31. a clear. Besides, I've been FOSing people and I think my FOS's have basis. Like, when I FOS'd Seph.
  32. It wasn't a random FOS at all. It was an FOS based off of the fact that she DID speak up early. And,
  33. even though I could be mafia at this point, I'm probably not because if you look at the field, I haven't
  34. buddied with anyone at all, and if anything I've pushed so hard on everyone equally, it's obvious I'm
  35. looking for reactions. And I don't think it would make sense for mafia to push so hard because then mafia
  36. could risk sabotaging their own partners by forcing reactions like that.
  37.  
  38. > Anti-Filler Prevention
  39. Ask yourself:
  40. A. Does this help find mafia?
  41. B. Does this help narrow down suspects?
  42. C. Does this help move town forward?
  43. If the answer to any of those is NO, do not even say it. Staying silent is better (at least for now).
  44.  
  45. > EASY NON-FILLERY STATEMENTS
  46. - FOSing
  47. An FOS should always follow the format:
  48. "I FOS [PLAYER] for [BUZZWORD]. [EVIDENCE]"
  49. EX. "I fos Kyouko for fillering. I feel like if you are town you wouldn't mention having to scumhunt
  50. because you are already scumhunting. I also fos mimi for sheeping. She said earlier she couldn't
  51. really come up with an FOS but then started ganging up on seph when madains fos'd seph."
  52. - TRing
  53. Similar to FOSing, TRing should follow the format:
  54. "I TR [PLAYER] for [REASON]. [EVIDENCE]"
  55. EX. "I TR Mimi because she hasn't really been fillering. Everything she's said has really helped town
  56. to move forward. I also TR madains because I think madains has been active in trying to find the
  57. mafia and if they were scum they could have just not pointed out that seph has to be the agent by
  58. process of elimination."
  59. - Theories
  60. EX. "I don't think Kii and Pine could be a team because they've been pushing on each other really hard
  61. this entire game. Besides, they can't be a team anyway because then that would mean that Seph is
  62. mafia and I don't think Seph is mafia."
