You guys are over-hyping this. It would be good if we were headed towards a D5 mylo since it would buy us another lynch before we'd be in D6 lylo then instead. But as it is, it just changes the D5 lylo into a D5 mylo, which means we don't get an additional lynch out of it. We get a "no lynch" out of it, which is better than not having it I guess, but the upside isn't huge. Even the additional night doesn't do a ton unless we have a straight cop in here. FEP won't do shit (if he still has shots left) on that additional night because he is almost useless in the coming night if he can't watch a kill happening.
Also, why are we doing this probability game? We are not randomly picking our targets. I mean, it's fun to think about it, but it shouldn't be the base for our decision. The question should be: "What is the floor and what is the ceiling for each way?"
- Kawl + No Lynch (or vice versa) under the assumption that Kawl is Town:
-- Floor: We get discussion but not much else on D5, lylo on D6.
-- Ceiling: We get discussion on D5, a PR catches Scum N5, Scum lynch on D6
- Anyone else + No Lynch (or vice versa) under the assumption that Kawl is the Hated:
-- Floor: We hit Town D4, get extra discussion on D5, NK, Scum can Hammer on D6
-- Ceiling: We hit Scum D4, get reactions and discussion on D5, NK, virtual mylo on D6 (because Kawl could be hammered on D7)
- Two lynches (Kawl doesn't matter in this scenario)
-- Floor: We hit Town both times, NK, 2-2, Scum wins
-- Ceiling: We win.
-- Bonus: Intermediate case: We hit Scum and Town the other day: 3-1 after NK, we're in lylo if Kawl is the Hated and mylo if he isn't (Which I'd say doesn't make that big of a difference)
So as I see it, If we go for a no Lynch on one of the days we have to lynch Kawl the other day, because the floor of that one is pretty close to the ceiling of "anyone else + No Lynch". Of course 2 lynches also is a valid option. I have to think about what's better.
btw, with Crimson's flip, a Tanner role and the lynch shift on D2, this game seems to be all about vote shenanigans (I'm surprised we don't have a double voter) so I think Kawl's claimed role makes contextual sense.
Thoughts on why FEP is still with us despite being our first claimed PR?
Fear of a Doctor? Scum? I don't see the throw-shade part he himself brought up since whoever visited Golak could confirm that strengthening FEP's claim.
