Even if there are 4 scum(unlikely) that puts us at 4/13 chance of hitting one, which is not worth the risk as it stands, Except if we no lynch, we have a 0/13 chance of hitting scum. So lynching randomly pretty a hell of a lot better than no lynching already, even if we completely ignore the fact that this isn't random lynching. which is not worth the risk as it stands, after the night passes we will have more info - cops, doctors etc. But what if we don't get any definitive information during the night? Then do we no lynch again? Lynching someone without any base info such as investigations on nothing but a hunch by their playstyles will only result in chaos, finger pointing, blame and scum winning the game. Always been my path for mafia on first days, and will continue to do so. So far its just 3 pages of mindless finger pointing, banter and baseless accussations. You call it mindless, but I see valuable information in these pages. The point of the game of mafia is not to no lynch until the cop finds scum for you, but to find a pattern in how people act when they receive PMs telling them they are bad people. The pattern isn't definite, but there is definitely a pattern there and it exists even on day 1. And that's why we play mafia. To identify the patterns and help everyone else see what we're seeing. No Lynching will never accomplish that purpose. |
The pressure a vote puts on a person to see how they will react is truly one of town's strongest tools.
With that said, I'm going to FOS NotStan and
