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