My Sith Lord activities in RL are keeping me pretty busy so the customary role of prosecuting a very thin case to be just thick enough to achieve a majority vote is going to have to fall on other shoulders this time.
Here's the score, we are probably 5-2, if we get a townie modkill we're LyLo, 4-2 lynch wrong and NK, game over. If we lynch wrong no modkill, probably 3-2 LyLo tomorrow. This is going to be a fast game once we begin moving. The problem was, with what was being done above, you didn't give people sufficient motivation. What was needed was to tell people to accuse someone and if the argument didn't seem reasonably strong, enough to at least qualify for serious consideraiton of a Day 1 Lynch... then kill them.
I suggest giving everyone 48 hours to pick a person to make a case on, those who refuse to name someone will be randomly assigned one, then everyone gets 48 hours to make a case. Those who have made decent cases, we release, and obviously if anyone makes a really good case we prosecute that case. Those who don't, we put in a pool, pick one, and kill them. The exact method of that kill we can decide at the time, if we don't get a case worth prosecuting, as we well might, and that will likely handle itself, though we can always flip the proverbial coin.
As to method, people can simply say who they want, or they can code the name. Once everyone is in with a name who wants one, I or someone else can use invisible castle to randomly select targets for those who did not. Those with coded names may reveal them then, if they want, or wait to the 'grand jury' convenes, about 96 hours down the road to hear all cases. We will each get three votes, we will each cast those votes in code for the cases we thought were best, one per player max. This has many hidden advantages, think about them but don't say them aloud. Those with the least votes we kill, in event of a tie we discuss it or flip said coin. Those votes, for the best cases by name of accuser, will be done by writing the names into a post, probably best as coded.
I also suggest we lynch anyone who objects to this plan and doesn't have a very good reason for that objection or offer up an alternative plan.
