Some thoughts on raerae. Apologies if I rehash things that have been addressed already.
I AM A VENGEFUL TOWNY.
WHO SHOULD I KILL.
WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE SHRAEYE
HELP ME YOU BASTARDS
If you don't have any strong scum reads then the townie thing to do is nothing.
If I understand correctly, the crux of the argument against raerae is that this post was trying to prevent MiX from killing a partner of hers. A few points at this stage:
- This seems to be a reasonable point presented in the face of some amount of chaos.
- I don't see that there's a lot of effort taken here to control or manipulate MiX. It seems more likely that she was giving an option that maybe MiX hadn't considered.
- I don't know MiX super well, but I don't imagine he is someone who is likely to do as he's told in a situation like this. I think raerae knows this and was not really expecting her advice to be followed.

Nah that's worthless. Ok Ok Ok I need to THINK.
Nope, killing a townie because you just NEED to use your power is selfish and anti-town but you do you, boo.
I think something was made of the fact that raerae used the word "townie" in this post. I don't think this is anything more than her explaining why her suggestion which was thoroughly dismissed might be worth considering, ie "You might hit Town, and that would be bad".
Regarding the quickhammer thing: I don't think scum were given "permission" to quickhammer, and I really doubt that seeing "scum don't quickhammer on Day 1" is likely to change their behaviour in that regard. I'm not sure I'd even call it a quickhammer (I mean it was a quick hammer by shraeye, but not a "quickhammer" as I would use the word). Unless we have some reason to believe scum have Daychat, it can't have been coordinated - raerae had no reason to believe shraeye was about to hammer even if they are both scum. I think they should receive the normal amount of scrutiny for how it went down (which is not none).
raerae: Why did you think your vote made it L-2? Did you check? Did you consider unvoting when you realised it was L-1? Were you happy for the Day to be ended at that point?
shraeye: Why the hammer? Why not give MiX a chance to claim? Would you have done so given what you now know (particularly regarding the vengekill)?
