Also, my goal was to be loud enough to get targeted, then switch myself with people I don't like. Unfortunately when What started doing the mafia's job for them, there wasn't much else to do.
I understand the 2nd part and I agreed with that, but here's why No lynch is good:

1) Lynch is controlled by town, thus it's TOWN weapon. When you can, it should be used.
2) While somewhat random on day 1, the main thing it provides is INFORMATION. Even if you hit a town, it tends to be a great for town in the long run. If you hit mafia, even better. Right from day 1, you can come back to see patterns, you can see who was bandwagonning, who was scummaring, who was agreeing with whom, who said some things that may contradict something else later, who maybe speed-hammered, etc. No lynch is MUCH worse as all of that would be lost out.
3) Lastly, no lynch realistically leaves people at day 2 almost the same point as day 1 unless cop hits a mafia or something else just as random happens. If there is no lynch at day 1, cops and other people have to ALSO target random people for their actions rather than be INFORMED and have an idea who to target. SO yeah.
