No one uses chains, furlongs, or leagues, so your analysis is irrelevant.

No one with any intelligence uses inches, feet, or miles either. :badteeth:

Only uncool people use a system with a base of 10. Its like they don't know how to count other than in 10s.

It's only because America's school system has enlightened us to such an extreme measure, that we must use a non-simplistic form of measurements in order to look further down upon the rest of the world.
AMERICA!
Huh. That makes sense. I read through that story 3 times looking for textual clues and did not find much. This clue method also seems more likely - you don't need to know personalities to guess the answer, so it is more even for everyone to find.

I always list my velocity in the units furlongs/fortnight.
Inches and feet were enough to allow the US to place multiple men on the moon, and multiple spacecraft on Mars. The metric system was enough to allow the rest of the world to watch on TV. Advantage: US.
Didn't happen. If they did, howcome they haven't placed more men on the moon? Did the inches run out of steam? etc. etc. yada yada
Did you find that on your own readthrough, or did you go back and look to see what Laarz was talking about?
Could you expand on what you meant here?
It was mentioned that this is our only chance to get rid of the dragon. So I am thinking it is a one time event. If we lynch the right person, we get an extra shot. Although if we lynch the wrong one, maybe mafia get some sort of advantage? Interesting possibility.
...I am assuming this is banter?
I saw 3 win conditions in the first post, one of which was poorly defined. Which one does he have?
You are just asking for trouble here.
I like to keep my numbers and letters separated in meaning. Otherwise algebra can get very odd.
There was that one time that we kinda face-planted one on Mars because of a conversion issue. I sighed at that one.
Nah, just started getting crowded up there, and there's no wifi.

Interesting, perhaps. Useful? Not at all. Just another D1/twillight topic that will be discussed to death and beyond, taking away focus from more pressing discussions (not that any are going on so far).
This is why I think it was a good idea for Solar to add a goal for Twilight. something to actually start with.
@Gwaihir
Yes, just banting around.
I also read the story (though only twice) but was looking for descriptions instead.
I would say there is a small chance it could be a useful topic, and much higher chance than a metric/English unit discussion (as amusing as it is). Also I think it is actually a good point to be aware of, as we may not know the full importance of this hunt (or future sidequests - could this be a daily thing?). If it continues, how much effort should be put into solving it, how much care into making the right choice? Could be the only effect is a second lynch for us tomorrow, but that is not a huge advantage. It could become much more important if mafia get some sort of advantage if we fail. There might be no way to tell if they do, but it is something to keep an eye out for.
Anyways, as you do not deem that a useful conversation to have, why did you not actually bring up these pressing discussions we need to have?
@phar - that what was what I was reading for, but I think now I was going about it wrong. Character description gives a serious advantage to people who have played more or know the people not playing here. It makes more sense to have them work as a puzzle, so it levels the playing field if you have not been around long. I think SI would lean more towards the second option.

I agree it's definitely a good idea - however, we seem to have already settled on a "dragonlynch", and the specific "what happens if we lynch the wrong dragon" question, seems irrelevant to me, since we have absolutely nothing to base it on. Unless somebody finds some reason that we should assume the story holds relevance and hints to other parts of the game than the twillight dragonhunt and finds a part of the story that hints towards such consequences of a mislynch, I see no reason to discuss it, as it does not help us in any way.

Pressing was a bad choice of words, as nothing is really pressing, since we don't have much to go on. As for what to discuss, I would much rather discuss the story further (admittedly, I myself haven't found much beyond what I already mentioned). I generally dislike twillights for this exact reason - even on a normal D1, town has pretty much nothing to go on. I see no reason to encourage more empty discussion to the game - however, time will show if this twillight turns out different.
As for now, I think we are maybe rushing the decision a bit - we still have a long time before twillight end, and if anybody have any new thoughts on the story whatsoever, I would like to hear them before locking.

How does the common "you can't leave, you will return, bla bla" saying from the SPF go? Do you (everybody) think it's totally unplausible that the hint I posted earlier could refer to jcakes and his short returns to the forums?
As you say yourself, it is pure guess work, and not something we can use yet, hence the discussion isn't worth it. See my above post. I do agree that keeping an eye on it won't hurt though.

Rereading this post: If town 'needs' an extra lynch, there is possibly more mafia to worry about than the standard 1/4'th. Thoughts?
Interesting, if this was set-up not only as a fun thing to do, but as a balancing between the factions.
On one hand, it means the mafia mafia have a slight advantage if there is another lynch tomorrow, but on the other hand, what is the likelihood of lynching a mafia on D1 (w/ twilight) with 2 lynches?
@Solar,
If we are rewarded the extra lynch tomorrow, but don't use it tomorrow, is it still up for use the following days?

The Dragonhunt extra lynch reward is only valid for Day 1 and does not carry over to any following Days.

Just remembered this. Forget what i said about locking.
