Wellp, admittedly my first impulse is to challenge someone randomly just because it's something I'd do. My second impulse is to challenge Carthrat. But I'm pretty sure that would end in tears.
So, my third impulse, and the one I'm going to follow is to actually encourage Pesco to put his money where his mouth is and challenge Bard when he says he will.
No, I'm not bloodthirsty, not at all.
To be fair, I don't think Pesco has ever had to put his life on the line for First Post Mind Hax before, and it intrigues me to see if a process that tends to be right will be successful here as well.
Oh yeah, Rou once again gains my eye on him for doing the same thing he always does, I believe regardless of alignment. That felt a little too reactionary to the soft claim but it's overall hard to read, especially since it's Rou.
Also, something bothers me about Bard's reaction rereading it. He feels a little nervous. But that's also hard to read at this stage of the game...I still don't like it.
Cuts:
If I were scum and you had gathered that from my single post, I would commend your brilliance.
As it stands I don't think that was your motive.
He has a meta of doing this. The problem is it's absolutely worthless if he's scum for obvious reasons. So while I want to see this happen because I think it's amusing and your reaction leads me to believe it might be fruitful, I acknowledge that Pesco could be fooling us.
I will state one thing. I actually think making this go FASTER is pro town given MotK's general meta. It hadn't really occured to me before, but when we drag the day out to it's maximum limit, we tend to lynch someone who was playing badly rather than lynching scum. And while scum can play badly, we don't have a great track record.
I do believe I'm firmly behind this challenge, and am about ready to throw my own gauntlet down and say
I'll challenge Pesco if he doesn't follow through on his promise to you, Bard. I doubt I'll have to.
