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

[[M] Eizen]

[The thing is, I still think it's hard to judge who mafia is simply based on who did and didn't vote for Yukari considering, and this is my personal reasoning here, so I may be wrong, that we needed to lynch somebody in order to get discussions going.]

So just lynch someone for the sake of lynching someone? That's a pretty anti-town way of thinking.

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.

I think what you said is pretty fair. My main point is that while Minato and Ken are the least active players in the game by a considerable margin, the other players have all at least somewhat participated in this game. Since there are 3 mafia members, even if those two are both mafia, at least one other person is a more active player.

This is also worth keeping in mind. It is highly probable at least one active person is Strega. Ultimately who was lynched on day one was going to be a decision based on very early, and highly incomplete, information. I think we can make a much more informed and well reasoned choice this time. As sad as it was to lose Yukari-chan, we do have a much greater abundance of data to sift through now, increasing the odds of the remaining SEES members survival.l
