I've said before, tradition is not a good reason to do something.
If you genuinely believe that a No Lynch is better than a thought out lynch, then vote it, but make that your reasoning. So long as someone is lynched, we have a voting record, and a piece of knowledge, the player's role and affiliation, to help us decide on a target for our night actions, assuming players have them.

##Vote: MSU

However, I'd much rather him be replaced if he's inactive.

Well over 24 hours remain!

You make a very good point and I do like to track inactive players after a day or two for a pressure vote. On the other hand though, I have totally missed a Day 1 in another game and could have missed out on a chance to defend myself. A lynch on day 1 seems too close to 100% metagame influenced for my tastes.

It's a catch-22 scenario. We need info before making an informed lynch vote but, sans metagaming, the only way to get info on day 1 is to vote a lynch.

BACK! okay now that I'm caught up,... looks like a vote for MSU is the best way to save an active townies life.

ABF

Actually that only applies on days after today so maybe it would be better to save him till tommorow if we have no leads then instead of elminating a possible townie now and then having to shoot in teh dark if we have no one tommorow

(sorry Rokk, forgot to remove the taunt!)

I disagree with your second paragraph.
I find that as long as you discuss the proposed lynches first, you generally get enough information to make an informed lynch.

The people who just come in, and stick a vote on, with no discussion, are the ones I am most wary of.

change vote,... NO LYNCH
Why get rid of MSU right now,... I say lets wait until tomorrow,... if we have no leads lets get rid of him if we have a lead, keep him until the day that we need to cut off someone with out any leads,...

anyone agree with me?
