1.) No-Lynching today takes away the opportunity for me to prove my role
at all
, so it doesn't exactly require "faith" in my role. I can't even use my role tonight, seeing as I'm locked in and all. If you want my ability to be proven at all, the only way to do so is to lynch scum today, and to have scum somehow miss their kill either tonight or a later night.
And also, it isn't so far-fetched that scum could eventually miss a kill. If not tonight, it's possible that we'll lynch another scum tomorrow, and then either scum will try to kill somebody who is protected, might try to kill somebody on a locked floor, and it is extremely possible that if we get the scum down to one member,
they will have a 1/4 chance of being on the locked floor, and unable to perform their kill
. The possibility is very much open. A No-Lynch takes that possibility away without question.
2.) See above. Lynching scum today means that a kill on M-M would take away one town role (unless he is protected, of course). I would much rather keep the scum guessing and unconfident if at all possible, rather then telling them exactly what the set-up is.
3.) The advantage works if we lynch
scum
today. My thought is that AmeliaSlay is scum. Of course that's not confirmed: it's doubtful we'll have any "confirmed scum" in this game until perhaps endgame, if there are confirmed townspeople. Drummer does not have to be town for my plan to work: but since you seem hell-bent on letting Drummer having another investigation tonight, I am saying that lynching scum today (presumably not Drummer), he will
still
have an investigation tomorrow that we could test. Capiche?
4.) Of course, that's obvious. The Doctor
could
be locked in the Red Floor. We have no way of knowing that: mass-claiming would only tell the scum whether or not they have to worry about an unlocked Doc.
Even if it's true that we have a Doctor locked on the Red Floor right now, then the scum
still have to worry about a Doctor
. And in that case, they still might try to kill who they think is the Doctor (which would fail, as the Doc would be in the locked floor), or they might be scared off from killing a more confirmed person (such as M-M or yourself, as scum might fear either of you having protection), worrying that the Doctor could be
unlocked
.
