TL Mafia XLVII - Page 136

i also favour the proposed lurker bane claim plan because at present i do not see an obvious flaw in it and the idea of trying something clever or "risky" simply appeals to me. It may also be worth noting that if lurker bane's delay too long the entire mafia could become active leaving lurker bane's killing power to be wasted or to be used on townies, (the upside being that an active mafia could potentially help if town is performing well)

double lynches favour town only when they are more likey to hit scum than vanilla town or a power role, early double lynches have the potential to deliver a better result because hitting 2 scum permanently reduces Mafia killing power by 1 early in the game whilst later double lynches purely by chance are much more likey to hit scum as the Mafia generally will make up a higher proportion of the player base, additionally town has more evidence upon which to base analysis and identify scum correctly. so without concrete evidence of players being scum i think i oppose day2 perhaps even day 3 double lynching, i feel that the manner in which palmar decided to use the double lynch really doesn't really fit with optimal or pro-town play but...

I think that we should not be lynching either palmar or ace if we kill either of these players and they flip down then we will have done the mafia a huge favour. Until we get a solid case against either player (which given their activity should not take too long) we should instead focus on the much larger group of players that could very well be scum but whose loss does not present a major blow to town chances of winning.
