[QUOTE=aamirus;867239]I just think, without the threat of hammer, it encourages inactivity. If nobody can be lynched until EOD, then people don't need to worry until EOD.[/QUOTE]

Some sites sometimes host very active games with only plurality lynch enabled; MU is the big and living example of this. If people think they can just go away because there's no majority threat, they didn't understand the game at all. You're not supposed to need a gun behind your head in order to be productive.

If you're afraid of an early hammer, you should give a no-lynch period of 24 hours once voting for lynch is enabled instead of disabling lynch completely.

What you call a problem inherent to democratic lynch is what I call the point of the game. Scums want to direct the lynch, not just to rely on night actions.

I like the idea of the system, though, simply because it's a way to implement town-hunting. Perhaps three and two votes is a bit too much, though; balance would have to be made. For example, I could see everyone have two votes, and the others having 3 and 4 votes. It would be more balanced. It's complicated to do on a forum, though.
