yes.
mod?
oh. Still yes.
I would rather not divulge how many HP points I have, nor would I suggest anyone else to do so at any point. The point of the lynch is to eliminate scum, not chip away at HPs until we miraculously find the scum. It's best to assume that lynching someone would always eliminate them from the game. And if you're voting for someone but you don't want them to die, I suggest you try to get into the rookie game after all because you've missed a fundamental principle of the game.
Votes don't have less value because of the HP system.I doubt the mafia would only need one NK-action to murder someone with more than 1hp, otherwise there'd be no point nor balance to the HP system. There are possibly multiple killing blows necessary to actually kill someone, but the lynch is still determined by majority (a 1hp player has the same voting weight as a 5hp player), so sharing our HP would make it much easier for scum to eliminate players and thus starve the town of much-needed voting power.
Don't forget Doom's warning.
Of course, I made it so that you can't play the mod at all.
I don't think the HP system is a reason to deviate from the regular game plan. We simply have less information to work with. Also don't forget:
It's impossible to know what roles/characters are in the game and there might even be duplicates.
I'm not expecting name claims to have a lot of weight. They shouldn't, anyway. I expect we're gonna need to do some good old fashioned police work in this game.
I still don't think no lynch is a valid option, though. Your argument is that we're shooting blindly and softening someone up for the scum NK, but the former goes for every game and the latter is irrelevant. We can't sit on our hands until something happens. If we lynch someone and scum NKs them the next night, I would argue that the wagon and everything leading up to the lynch would be very valuable indeed. If we do nothing, scum get their NK and we learn nothing. Same as every game.
Gaming the system aside,

This is the biggest load of flavor based bullshit I've ever heard. Not only are you basing your read on the scene vs. Strike's flavor posts, but you are also ignoring the most important one.

The war has taken it's toll on me. Due to continued shortages food has become more scarce. I often dream of the decadent meals we used to have. My fellow soldiers remain eager however.
Buj had to go home sick with mustard gas poisoning but his replacement Ragian has brought his own brand of enthusiasm. You'll be happy to know that Dakky is his usual skittish self. Aage for his own part seems deep in thought. DDS has again upset the general and been put back on dish cleaning duty. Sometimes I think he prefers it there and of course there's Pikanchion who I have twice saved from walking into enemy fire while he was distracted by his animal capturing game.
I do feel concerned about two of our number. This morning at role call, Skoffi n and ZaBeast avoided the traditional greeting. My comrades take this for mere disrespect but I can see through them.
Vote ZaBeast.
With Love,
Strike Wolf
P.S. it's also because I've never played with him before. :p
He's "with us". Now please play the game properly.
