  3. 1. Tutorial
  4. > Pushing lynches -- Pushing lynches require a few components. You need to be:
  5. - Convincing
  6. - Towny
  7. - Logical
  8. So, in that sense you have to be townread first before you can push lynches because otherwise you are just tunneling.
  9. Of course, it's not REQUIRED, really (to be townread), but then you have to fulfill the next two requirements which are
  10. being convincing and logical. When it comes to the 3 methods of argumentation (Ethos, Pathos, Logos -- Authority, Emotions,
  11. Logic), using emotions is the least convincing. Appealing to authority (which we would call metagaming -- "i'm experienced
  12. why would I do this"), is the second least convincing, and logos (cold hard logic) is the most powerful of the three. So,
  13. knowing that, your arguments need to be based less of off the first two and more on the last.
  14. The format should be in the form of: "We should lynch [PERSON], because [REASON WHY IT'S PROTOWN TO LYNCH THEM] and
  15. [REASON WHY THEY ARE SCUMMY] and [REASON WHY THEIR DEFENSE FAILS]."
  16. EX. I think we should probably lynch madains. I think it's the safest lynch because she's at the top of most
  17. fos lists. And, there's been some obvious buddying going on. She hasn't even really defended herself very
  18. well and just derailed off of the FOS I had on her.
  19.  
  20. > Defense
  21. A sufficient defense need to cover all possible methods in which you can be mafia. You can't simply rely on "fmpov
  22. 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
  23. that would be convincing. Speaking confidently and from a town point if view is IMPORTANT, but if you are in a position
  24. 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
  25. matter how many ways you slice it. Three things have to happen in a defense:
  26. - Showing everyone how you have HURT the mafia.
  27. - Showing everyone else how you have HELPED town.
  28. - An "I cannot be mafia because these actions do not make sense for mafia" (NOT "i can't be mafia because
  29. mafia would not do this") statement.
  30.  
  31. Follow this format and you should be safe.
  32. EX. I'm not mafia because when I helped clear madains, that was something that helped town. We didn't
  33. have any clears before that, so I could have just stayed silent instead of speaking up and giving us
  34. a clear. Besides, I've been FOSing people and I think my FOS's have basis. Like, when I FOS'd Seph.
  35. It wasn't a random FOS at all. It was an FOS based off of the fact that she DID speak up early. And,
  36. even though I could be mafia at this point, I'm probably not because if you look at the field, I haven't
  37. buddied with anyone at all, and if anything I've pushed so hard on everyone equally, it's obvious I'm
  38. looking for reactions. And I don't think it would make sense for mafia to push so hard because then mafia
  39. could risk sabotaging their own partners by forcing reactions like that.
