That’s a very difficult thought exercise. Essentially you said lots had been already discussed about the promoter claim (which is irrelevant and serves to excuse your lack of thoughts on it)
Mosty, I was excusing my lack of commenting on it because I didn't have
any thoughts on it until after the discussion took place.
you said you don’t like the idea of plans where townies should do something purely because it’s “towny”, which is another word for pro town. I disagree with your opinion there and think you basically said you don’t like plans because they are difficult to pull off and you don’t like directing players. It’s a fine opinion to have but you took a really long way to say it.
You are confusing "don't like" and "have completely lost faith in". I
love the idea of coming up with foolproof plans around economic use of information, leveraging information flow in games like this and trying to construct a win for town. I do
not think that this promoter thing offers anything like that, though.
I think it’s a scummy post because you could have said. “I don’t have many thoughts about the promoter claim, I don’t want to discuss it much more, and I don’t like town directing plans as a whole.” But that would have sounded really scummy so you added a lot of fluff and overexplaination of your thoughts.
That would also have been a lie, because I
really like well-constructed plans to get town ahead by making sure everyone reveals exactly the right information in exactly the right order. I'm super-frustrated when people refuse to play along with something that has a clear logical benefit. However, nobody is offering that level of proof for promoter-claiming, and I didn't notice anything great either, so I think it's better to focus on other ways of catching scum.
