Yes, and as I said, many previous games were a failure to town because of that. We actually need something to go on instead of jumping into a seemingly unimportant mis-ynch.

I looked at many posts and didn't see anything really worthy of the game.

And what I meant about Rol is that he coming was cool, but it was worthless for the game's progression.

I was waiting for something.

And not casting a vote is closer to "No Lynch"  than casting a vote.

I'm pretty satisfied with moreno's responses- imo we shouldn't lynch him today.

You're wrong.  There is no benefit to having a person around who never posts.  The only thing that person does is draw suspicion, because they could be mafia.  They don't contribute.  There is nothing they say that people can use to draw conclusions about alignment etc.  They exist only to serve as camouflage for mafia (if they are not mafia themselves). 

It is much better to lynch such a person than to do a No Lynch.  I defy you to identify a game where the town lost because they lynched a lurker instead of No Lynching. 

It's pointless to say that town loses because of too many mislynches.  Of course they do!  But that doesn't mean that we should be paralyzed by not knowing for a fact that you're mafia.  That just gives all the killing power to the mafia. 

Maybe I misread it, but I saw that message as "I said that Rol being in the game was great, but I realise that didn't add anything to the game's progression"

"That moreno guy"

I didn't mean your participation is worthless, I meant that you coming to the game and replacing another user is nothing to go by.

But mis-lynching too much is not a lot better either.

1.  Such as? 

2.  Uh, what?  Seriously, I have no idea what you mean by this.  There is no better way to express your opinion that the day should end without lynching anyone than voting "No Lynch" and I would be delighted to hear your argument to the contrary. 

While I understand this can be true from a certain perspective, it is not correct from the realistic perspective. Someone the town lynches is likely a person that town was not feeling very confident about. Had that person be given the chance to live, sure they might be cleared, or something else might happen, but it also allows for a suspicious player to live down the line.

If we mislynch all the suspicious townies, it helps us to narrow down the mafia, because when we need to be accurate we aren't being distracted by suspicious townies putting their foot in their mouths.

Think about it. Someone who makes slips could be town or mafia. If they're town, you mislynch early...well, he could have been mafia. If you keep him alive instead, he will continue to be a doubt in people's minds, and furthermore, if he's copped, it's nearly a waste since that copping would have been more useful on a player that is hard to read.

That being said, it's not a good idea to lynch a townie NO MATTER WHAT. However, mislynches are always going to happen as lynches themselves are calculated risks, therefore, it's not a terrible idea to lynch someone you're unsure about even if they turn up town, because you will very rarely be confident in lynching even the mafia.
