Exactly, just because no one dies on a Day 1 does not mean that it was a waste of a day. In some games a Day 1 lynch is absolutely imparative but those games tend to be slow-movers with not many people joining the discussion. In this particular game we've had many good, active discussions and a lot of info has come out and we have many leads to pursue in the future so I'd much rather see a no lynch today then a poor lynch not based on game mechanics but rather based on a specific player's level of frustration.
When I was a 'noob' I always thought that a lynch every day was the way to go but as time went on its importance gets downplayed when a decent amount of info has been put out and sometimes a lynch benefits the scum more then the town. Not to mention that our vig(s) probably won't kill tonight (unless they're dumb and/or think that they are smart) but the scum definitly will (I'll bet there's at least 2 scum groups + an SK or 2, knowing Skoffin and the game size) so we're already looking at anywhere between 2 and 6 deaths tonight, I think the last thing we need to do is make a poor lynch to make the scum's job easier.
If you guys wanna try to lynch scum, I'm down, but I'm not voting for someone I'm 90% sure isn't scum on this Day.
This post has some information in it...
He is pushing for a no lynch. Now in my opinion this could mean one of two things, either he was defending no lynch on dito or exile (as both were up for the gallows), or he was just looking for a no lynch, which btw never made much sense to me, in most games the first to get lynched are normally town who just made a silly mistake so I never saw much in the no lynch helps scum, sure they get to make the first kill, but wouldn't it also be helpful to scum to have one of us die by lynch as well.
It also seems that if our vig did indeed kill kalish, then he or she would be a smart player, because they picked up on a scum trait that no one else seemed to find scummy. Even after the berating of a supposed vig. So that bodes well for us.
He also says that bit about 2 scum groups, so maybe he knew something that we don't.
