Anyways... Grim, I don't get how lynching Mmarz is going to bring us better results. If he's Mafia/Third Party then yay for that. But if not, like you said, we'll have to pinpoint the scum out of the four. Is like picking one by one until we find the guilty one. That's a waste of time. Time us town don't have.
I really don't understand why you don't get my point after explaining so many times. There is no possible way we can tell that Mmarz is scummy or not, this is a game of deceit, not a game of trust. I will not quite simply foolishly believe what a person says, especially in the middle of two heated debates, diverting attention off those debates and to the remaining four.
What Mmarz is saying, in my opinion, is an attention diverter. He brings up a point that will cause a lot of controversy, then goes on, without logical reasoning, accuses Ooglie of being a possible scum by guessing and then diverts attention off to the four. What made his words so doubtful is the timing he chose to say it. It's like "hi guys since you are all fighting let me tell you something. Amg guess what???? Im actually a guest lol i think ooglie is the guilty one everyone focus on the four esp ooglie!!!!11"
And why do I think lynching Mmarz is a better idea?
As I already stated, there is
no absolute way we can have a
more efficient manner of finding out scum because we have
no idea whether Mmarz can be trusted or not. Like you stated, we lynch Mmarz, boom scum, then yay. If we lynch him and he isn't, at least NOW we know he CAN be trusted and we know that 1 out of the remaining 4 are scum, as compared to lynching someone else/no-lynching and then having no clue whether 1 of the 5 are scum.
This is about calculating the best possible outcome and most efficient, time-saving method of finding out possible scum. Sacrifices have to be made. And I feel that sacrificing one or two regular guests as compared to a possible town PR is the
minimum amount of loss we can suffer and have a
better chance of narrowing down our scope. This is why I am strongly for lynching Mmarz to find out the truth behind those words. As the same time since Mmarz claims to be a Regular Guest, this is why can can minimise our loss and narrow down our list of suspects. He turns out to be Scum, then I can then tell who possible scums are. He isn't, then great as well, we can tell who possible scums are from the four singled out.
I am a very stubborn person. I need a valid point that will work out better than mine to convince myself that I should not lynch Mmarz. So far you have not brought up a better method, and I see no reason why I should not stop pushing for Mmarz's lynch.

This is what I think about all this Mmarz thing. And let me be clear that that's ME. I've said I don't trust anyone in this game but I actually kind of believe in Mmarz right now. And to be honest, if I were to be a regular guest I would've probably done the same thing as Mmarz did. I think that was a very clever move from his part. People might not see it that way but I do. Because thanks to him, from all the 20 players we needed to look for scum he has done us the favor to decrease that number to 5. Where now we know for sure there's a scum there.
"But what are you saying Ansoro? You don't even know id Mmarz is telling the truth!". Yeah yeah. I know I can't prove that. Mmarz can't either. Myusername is saying he's probably just steering things up blah blah blah.
What I think is that if he were to be Scum he wouldn't be doing all of this. Scum are always careful on their moves. And what Mmarz did was a risky but smart move. And right now I'm buying it.
As I have already stated, Mafia is a game of deceit, not a game of trust. To so rashly trust a person's words with no concrete evidence would be skipping about happily on a land buried with landmines.
"But what Mmarz did was a risky but smart move! Scum are always careful on their moves!" Not all scum are. Being scum means making gambles. Furthermore, with reverse psychology, I refuse to trust anything one says that sounds risky, not to mention refutable. Just because he/she has made a risky move doesn't mean I'm going to buy it. There are certain conditions where making a risky move could make you trusted as innocent. However this is not one of them.

I don't really know what to do right now with those 5. There's not really much to do. They can all argue all day in saying they're regular guest. That's just not going to get us anywhere.
Letting them sort things out themselves is a bigger waste of time. If you trust what Mmarz said, shouldn't your first priority be to find out who the scum is amongst the 4? This is a really poor excuse.
