All we had to do was find the original thing to win. Given that, it would have been optimal play for the town as a whole to ignore anyone who had tossed dynamite period. With three names eliminated from the list each day, the odds of hitting the original thing increase dramatically every day the plan is followed.

I did the exact same math you just did (almost identically written out) before I tossed the dynamite.

This is a stupid argument (if it is one) because nobody but me plays the way I do and it's pointless to try to figure out which is a better style. My way isn't as fun for most people and your guys' way isn't as fun for me. It's as simple as that. I'm a cheater and a manipulator and most other people are just out to have a bit of a lark.

...Note: The high amount of vigilantes present DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD FIRE RANDOMLY. YOU WILL FUCKING LOSE IF YOU SIMPLY BLOW EVERYTHING UP...

...The Thing begins the game with two players assimilated. Each night, it can pick an assimilated vessel to assimilate another...

...This game is, in my mind, heavily tilted in favor of the Thing, due to every Thing essentially being a Master Vampire...

You act like he's incapable of seeing reason. From what it looks like here, he missed a rule and made a faulty assumption that was mathematically sound based on his assumption because of it.

Unless he posts anything other than "Oh, that would explain it, my bad for missing the rule, maybe you could have made it more clear somehow" or something to that effect, I fail to see how this is anything but constructive for both sides.

Well fuck me.

This has taught me to never give dynamite to anyone, ever, even if I have a plan first
