EoFF XXVII Game Thread - Day Five - Showdown in the Velvet Room

Maybe I'm just gutless but I think youre putting way too much emphasis on hunches.

I should de-emphasize my hunch when it comes to you, right?

Except he literally said it was to get discussion going which means it wasn't lynching just for the sake of lynching. And despite what Yukari thought, it was still an extremely safe time to choose at random as we, the people of the town, maintained roughly the same probabilistic position if we lynched the wrong person as if we didn't lynch and there was the potential large gain to be had of taking out a member of Strega immediately. Mathematically it was a sound decision. No action can be considered done for the sake of doing it as all actions reveal information and encourage the reveal of new information. Whether we get the information we want is another matter entirely.

This game is based on far more than just mathematical decisions. Regardless of the intent of the lynch, the fact remains that it was basically a random lynch. Sure it generated some discussion, but it also made absolutely no sense to lynch her specifically for the reasons people gave.

Ruff!

[To be fair, the same could be said for anyone else who could've been lynched on that day - there is no concrete reason other than some people deciding that voting no lynch = mafia.]
