First of all, while you do make a good point about my lack of scumhunting, I think it's unfair to say that I've "only" talked about setup things. Everybody has done the same. I would give town points to Ashersky for scumhunting, only his case is so bad that I can't.
As to why I've only talked about the setup, there is a simple reason. I think we've got two objectives today: lynch mafia, and determine the best way for town to navigate the setup. We can't do both at the same time, it's too easy for mafia to keep switching from one to the other to avoid sensitive issues. And if we start by trying to lynch someone, I bet nobody will say "hold on a sec before you lynch that guy, we have to discuss the setup first", because it will be seen as crazy scummy. So, first we discuss the setup, then we look for mafia. That's not an excuse not to punish scummy behaviour as it happens, but it isn't an excuse to say that people who "only" speak about the setup are scummy.
I am doing my best to finish the setup discussion as quickly as possible so that we can move on the mafia-finding phase. If you agree with my analysis of the situation, help me with the setup discussion. If you don't, say why.
About the case by Ashersky, I did adress his initial case
here. If you think I missed something relevant, I will address it now.
However, I think you can excuse me for not giving much credibility to someone that starts his argument this way:
You starts off with an argument that we should not actively empower our house because House Lannister also has a power. Why House Lannister? How would we know the Lannisters were in the game? Why Lannister's power and not Baratheon or some other big name? Specifically, Lannister. Clearly, there is also scum in Lannister.
And when we point out that House Lannister was specifically mentioned in our empower condition in the first post of our quicktopic, he answers this.
Teproc, you mean the killing all Lannisters thing?
Irrelevant, in my opinion.
He still hasn't admitted that this argument doesn't make sense, the best he has done is say that "If you don't like it, ignore it".
