Supernatural Mafia

The good news is we have very few people who seem to be considering NL.

really? seems like we have a decent number...

Well, no lynching has it's benefits and disadvantages. On the plus side, you could use the night and activate whatever powers we all have to come to some form of early conclusion. We also could not potentially lose a member. On the negative side, the mafia basically gets a free kill. There is always the possibility of a third party which could also cause some harm.

With 2 + and 2 -, I'm sticking with waiting it out.

Again, for those who do not wish to lynch on day one:

If there is no new useful information collected during night 1 (which I see as likely, given the number of people), would you still vote no lynch on day 2? How long are you willing to wait before you roll the dice?

[BladeTwinSwords]

I have almost never seen a no lynch on Day 2. You risk too much to rely solely on night powers.

[Passarelli]

Then why wait?

[BladeTwinSwords]

Wait for what? A lynch? No one has voted on anything yet. Why jump to conclusions immediately when you can simply wait for 1 day (Not one game day, I mean one actual day) and see who is actively contributing to the game.

You misunderstood me. If you would lynch on day 2 when no new information surfaced, why would you not lynch on day 1? It gives the town more information to work with that night and the following day. I'm not saying we should vote this instant, but I believe a day 1 lynch is the strongest strategy.

You shouldn't have answered my question if you were planning on voting for a lynch, as I said as a preface, "Again, for those who do not wish to lynch on day one:".

That said, lynching someone who is inactive isn't good stratagy as it takes the whole theorycrafting of the game and tosses it out the window. Using that as grounds to lynch someone greatly reduces the information you can glean from the voting. That is why people who are inactive are usually replaced or slain by the moderator.

I'm out for the night. I'll be gone for most of the day tomorrow as I have a job interview then need to help a friend move. Fun times!

Regardless of what you pick, doing it quickly is a bad idea. Pages of discussion only helps the town and shying away from that is scummy. Just let it play out.

it is common place to policy lynch people who provide about as much insight as a goldfish.

Sooo, not much discussion or info was given out during the night.
I will hold my vote till we hear from Stan or Sin.
