How about this. We don't lynch Joseph today but if he's still alive tomorrow we lynch him. If he dies during the night the n we know he was being truthful. Does that satisfy everyone? If so who are possible D-1 lynchs for us. I say one of the lurkers like Mcmc or Awa
From the few historical games I read a lurker lynch ended up being pretty random. I would be more inclined to go for RR (he had some stuff in the past that I found suspicious) or Robz if we are choosing to keep Joseph alive.
And I don't like if/then statements. I feel like they are too easy for mafia to manipulate.
The issue with lurker lynches: Yes they are somewhat random. But they will still be somewhat random on D2, D3 etc., since lurkers won't give much to determine their alignment. It's better to have active players in the game that can be read. A lurker is always a blank and needs to be lynched at some point unless the game goes really well.
Yeah. That makes sense. I guess my supposition was based on the idea that the players were inactive or lurking for a short period of time and would become active at a later date, especially with much of this game taking place during the western holiday season.
I happen to have been able to be more active because of the holidays, but that is because I was mostly sitting at home in warm pajamas next to a heater alternatively drinking coffee and cider. But sadly , that lurxury is coming to an end.
