Hi I'm here sorry for not posting up until now School Happened.
As seedy ((and now Sunspider wow I'm really late to the party)) pointed out (I started this paragraph before I read her post, whoops), the point of lynching on day 1 is not to get information by learning who the dead person was, but get information by forcing people to Have Opinions on day 1, opinions that players can come back to later in light of later flips/lynches. Particularly scum are pretty vulnerable to making comments on a 'productive' day one that can come back to bite them later in the game.
While I don't want to drown myself in wine over the night kill, I'm honestly questioning if sinkingsailor was actually the mafia night kill, especially since he flipped as town roleblocker which may well mean the mafia kill was prevented somehow?
I'm also curious enough to Vote: Palamedes because Pala you mentioned in post #312 that you have 'much better bets to go on' than voting CSJ.
What you've done today so far is vote Robottobt for making active empty-posts which you said you felt was scummy, waffle re: CSJ/Seedy opinions, wave around a gun? and engage with wheat playstyle/general meta-commentary and then just still poking at Robottobt (who is, to be fair, so far mostly empy posting).
So I guess my question is what are some of the other 'much better bets' you mentioned because so far all I've seen is the Robottobt bet, which feels pretty lukewarm (could be either nervous scum or nervous/not-super-writing-heavy town) to me.
Also, elephant in the room, I guess a52's claimed voyeur? and I don't think we should ignore that just because we think he's town and scum will somehow entirely miss that post (scum generally don't).
On the other hand, a52, asking 3 presumably visiting roles what they were doing should, by the law of probability, reveal more town power roles than scum power roles so I'm not sure what you're doing is actually conducive to winning this game (unless, I guess, you're a scum voyeur :v).

Like, sure, you gain some information by learning who the dead person was, but that seems like pretty worthless information at a bad cost if (when, usually) you lynch a townie in the process? It seems like it helps the mafia more than anything? I mean I'm like, not nearly as deep on maf strats as many of the others so, idk but y'know. It seems counterintuitive.
