This idea is either slightly (but statistically insignificant) better than No Lynch which is a terrible idea without question.
I disagree and unless you show me how I will continue. But that is ok. I think it would be fun and potentially beneficial to mass claim. It hasnt' been done before so I don't know why people (including me of the past) are so sure that it is terrible.
Honestly I think the risk is relatively small and the reward is also relatively small (but potentially really big because it puts the onus on mafia to not make a critical mistake).
The issue is, in a matter of minutes between just the two of us we contrived 3 wholly different outcomes for this which means that there isn't any way to determine what the actual outcome is even within a suitable subset of possible outcomes. Thus, it is dis-informative and by the time the actuality of the course of action begins to pan out it will be too late for the duped Townies.
Well sure. I am not really interested in attempting to figure out what the possible outcome will be. That is impossible. What I am interested in is just trying it out so that we can look back at this game and see what happened.
We have never (to my knowledge) had a mass claim day1 in any game. I would like to see what will happen when that happens and provide some emperical data on that subject. I think and anticipate that it will be beneficial, enough that I am willing to risk a possible bad outcome (even then I think it would be small) to see. Plus it would be FUN! trying new things is fun!
