Eliminate All Liars

LAL redirects here; are you looking for Lynch-or-Lose?

This is a MetaGame ploy that is strongly encouraged by many long-time players. Confusion and lies are two of the best weapons of Mafia. Thus, it is generally bad play for ProTown roles to lie. In order to encourage *good* play, the policy should be: Lynch anyone caught in a lie. They are most likely Scum, and if they aren't, then lynching them might teach them that they should not lie.

Some lies that have been repeated that don't turn out well for the town:

• Townie claiming to be a Doctor in an attempt to get the mafia to target them;
• Doc claiming to be plain Townie (you can skirt the issue and if you do the same when you are a plain townie, it won't be noticable);
• "I don't need doc protection" when you have no natural protection. It generally just creates confusion for the pro-town roles and often will help the mafia find the doc.

And for the people who want to learn to play better as scum - don't get caught in a lie!
