Imho mitch case is bad and voting Chu will provide more info than Mitch who seems to mostly be targeted by those who do not know him. Only people voting mitch that know him are Doom who probably knows him less than most of the current regulars and Dakky who I don't trust and don't think mitch's lynch would persuade me that much (if mitch is WP, Dakky went for the easy lynch. If I am wrong and Mitch is scum, Dakky could still easily be scum doing the smart thing of eliminating a liability amongst his group in exchange for early town cred). Chu flipping town or scum would influence me on whether I believe Serbia, Nagerous and Nark (Serbia is inconsistent. Nag I want to believe on a personal level but there have been some good points brought up about him. Nark. I won't beat a dead horse on something most seem to disagree with me on beyond this little reference).
Going into actual reads on the two. Mitch is always erratic but I mostly see his normal MO at this point. Even if dakky is correct that he's been a little less helpful than usual, the survivor part of his win con helps explain that. Chu's flavor suggestions could easily be activity fluff and he has seemed a bit defensive at points. Frankly I think I'd rather go after Serbia than either of them but it's too late in the progression of the day to suggest starting a new lynch candidate unless I was absolutely certain.
Insults will always come up in mafia. However being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole is a good way to ruin the fun of a game. Nark, IMHO, hasn't gotten to this point. Wing treads along the line more often than not.
Ok there's a lot to unpack here but how will lynching me tell more than it will tell for Mitch? The main difference I can see is in that you'll get reads from whatever I said previously. But there lies in another wrinkle in the choice between us two. If we lynch me I don't get to talk anymore while if we lynch mitch, he doesn't get to talk anymore. No offense to mitch, but I'm a more helpful of a player to have around than mitch. And when this game is starting to lull I personally think killing off players who are active and contributing is less desirable than kill those that are not. Which isn't to say mitch isn't active, but I would say that I have contributed much more than he has. Of course scumminess reigns supreme. I'm not saying to not vote who you find most scummy. However if it's between two equally scummy players I'd suggest lynching the less helpful one. (That said I also deny that I am scummy, of course
)
I will also suggest that lynching mitch may give more information on dakky who is pushing hard for his lynch. I don't know Dakky well enough but I'm not sure if he would know to kill mitch if they were scum together. I mainly base this off of hearing that Dakky gets lynched Day 1 a lot. So no offense to you Dakky. I could be completely wrong about this. But in general, I do think mitch's lynch still reveals information. Even though not all of us know Mitch well enough we don't vote in a vacuum. You can still look through the reasons found and pick apart whose is weak and whose isn't.
Remember that the survivor part of the win con is only part of the win con. Wild Pokemon have to make sure Team Rocket does not win as well. The way to do that is to eliminate them. So if anyone is being unhelpful it is to their own harm, unless they are scum.
Also, I think you skimmed the case on me. I was criticized for not giving enough flavor specs not too much. And I assure you I haven't had activity fluff as I tend to have some of the longest posts here. Not all information is created equal and that isn't the best way to judge things but I have many several cases in these threads. In fact, the way that you try to tie me to various people who I have cast suspicion highlights the fact that I have been very active in trying to find scum. So no fluff here.
