@ peeker: You threw me for a loop there, when you voted for Pinkies.
@ Ulla: I'm really trying to understand this statement you made:

It would be similar to having Scum start the game with a NK (sometimes happens in games with a Night 0).

Can someone please tell me why a no-lynch would only hurt Town? Wouldn't avoiding a mislynch on Day 1 be good for Town?
Is the absence of a decent voting record on Day 1 what hurts Town? |

ulla points out no lynch effectively is a Night start with some information. scum get a free ride and effectively town starts Day 2 knowing that at best they will be down a soul (i mean funky stuff happens but really that's the most likely occurrence). additionally, if we were to wait until the odds shift in town's favor based purely on percentages then that means scum have already won (i mean for the odds to favor a scum lynch there needs to be more of them than town). that's why town needs additional help. that information typically comes from votes but more importantly the information/logic/reasoning regarding how they came up with that vote. i mean there are folks that look heavily at voting patterns and what not but i like to dig down to why folks are voting the way they are. and what funky ass statements they make in arriving at their conclusion.
