if we use the scotthoward plan, votes are irrelevant pretty much.
lets just fire somebody, then let the electorate vote them out.

my plan was similar. make a list of people they can't kill from, and if they violate that, kill the electorate off. that way we actually can learn something from the electorate's selections. with 9 wolves in a village, do you have an idea how hard it will be to actually get a wolf pwned through the "fire" plan? very.

umm, 33 players and 9 wolves is the same as 11 players and 3 wolves. its not usually hard to pwn wolves in the 11 games, why would it be harder now?
using your plan, the electorate gets to choose from what, 5-6 players? I think that just adds another variable.
my way, the village decides the lynch, not the electorate.
we then gain info from who “fire”s who, same as a regular lynch procedure in regular ww.

Here is a basic rule.

When there are MORE wolves in a village, regardless of whether the ratio is exactly the same, it is very, very difficult to start lynching wolves right off the bat. They tend to elude the village for much longer. It is not abnormal to lose a wolf in the first round of a 13 person game. How often is a wolf lynched in even the first 2 or 3 rounds of a normal long game? Unless they royally screw up, not often. If the wolves play correctly, it is very difficult to get rid of them early on. While a "fire" plan may certainly have more merit in later phases of the game, I see it as an inferior way to vote wolves off right now. Although, if votes keep going as they are, village is probably boned either way.

so lets remove the importance of the votes.
im not expecting to get a wolf today, but we gain more info by selecting a lynch as a group, just like we normally do.

i'll get my "big list" out later today, probably, which may or may not be an accurate reflection of how i feel. perhaps people might follow it this time, in the event of my death.
