Let's challenge this assertion.

Magic horses poop gold and fart rainbows.

Now let's look at some game mechanics discussion...

I didn't read it that way- but I see your point.

from the rules
" Private Messages cannot be quoted, they must be paraphrased. "
So I will tread lightly ---- I saw that threats to Town had to be all dead- and didn't think to factor in possible non-Scum threats-


I guess we can let Scum sort that out we (I assume) need to take care of them all anyway.


It is us and them- what ever costume 'they' are wearing

You see, game mechanics discussion is wasting time and doesn't actually move the game forward. Game mechanics discussion provides everyone with just as much information as discussing magic horses. However while a discussion about magic horses is obviously not productive and nobody would pretend it is such, setup speculation can masquerade as a productive discussion and can be used to pretend to be busy when really you're not doing anything at all.

For example. How has lightfoot's "talking about game mechanics" moved the game forward? Has she used it to push a case or defend anyone? Has she used it to scumhunt? Has she done anything with it at all? No, but she's more than happy to use it as an excuse to make it seem like she's been productive this game when she really hasn't done much of anything at all.

I'm more than happy to stand corrected. If someone can point out how lightfoot has used "game mechanics" to move this game forward then I'd like to see it. Just like how nobody could pinpoint whatever important points it was that I was missing that lightfoot kept talking about, I think nobody will be able to find how lightfoot has used game mechanics to move the game forward.
