Welcome to the game! You are a Mafia Goon with XXX. You may talk to him at any time, via the PT you share. Each night, between the two of you, you have a kill to use. You win when the scum has equal numbers to the town or if the board has a line of three noughts.
Townie
You are a Vanilla Townie. You don't have any special powers, and you don't know who the mafia is. Your only power is your voice, and your vote. You win when scum are eliminated or if the board has a line of three crosses.

I think we should lynch the scummiest of the 4 corners today

Yes I think lynching the middle is best play. The middle is most powerful. Getting the middle gives us more leeway and options when trying to lynch for scum starting day 2 and takes away options for scum. It will be easier to force scum to shoot who we want to shoot. Easier to force scum to possibly shoot themselves.
If we have the middle, we can pretty much lynch anyone and scum have to kill to block us by shooting the third square. If we lynch in a corner, we lose that advantage entirely.
If we lynch the middle, we lynch a confirmed town and allow scum to kill their preference of the 4 corners
If we lynch our preference of the 4 corners, we might hit scum, and we force scum to kill the IC which removes WIFOM NK manipulation
lynching the middle is clearly worse

I get the strategy of placing middle first in tic tac toe, but I can't wrap my head around lynching a townie day 1. It may turn out to be the best strategy in the end if we are solely going for the tic tac toe win, but I find lynching a confirmed town day 1 unthinkable in normal games.
I was about to say that lynching the IC is bad and you should feel bad for suggesting it, but I'm not totally sure. I don't think we get enough more from the center vs. the corner to be worth giving up the chance to lynch scum. I'll post more about this in a bit, watching a movie with the kids right now.
Definitely don't quicklynch, day 1 is the only time we'll have everyone here to discuss strategy.

No. We lynch middle. Say they kill me. Then we lynch whoever we want and scum is forced to kill the third square in the row. We have the advantage of controlling the scum kill by lynching the middle. That's entirely more beneficial than having a confirmed Townie who will be dead tomorrow anyways. Chances are we won't hit scum lynching elsewhere. This is best play. Who cares about innocent child when you have full control over the scum kill?
But we have full control over the scum kill if we lynch the corner too, since scum trivially lose if they don't kill the center after that.
Then we can force the kill again with our lynch on D2
I'm pretty sure town can force every scum kill in this game, if I'm thinking about it correctly. Which makes lynching in the corner better as we have a non-zero chance of lynching scum.
"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"
also D1 scumhunting just simply won't work if we all agree to lynch a confirmed townie
"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"
eh you got me there, but lynching Dunn on D2 would be safe (although it would give scum semi-free reign for D2 night kill)
We're not going to be able to force certain players to be scumkilled if we play in the center either. After the scum NK and our D2 lynch, you'll have the same problem that you're pointing out here. You're just delaying this problem in the setup by one day, after you lynch confirmed town.
"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"
No there is no delay. There will be no problem. You want alpaca dead, you lynch Java and scum is forced to block us. After that we can still go wherever we want. We don't have to lynch who we want dead. We can lynch the person across from them if it's the smarter tic tac toe. Scum still be forced to follow our 3 in a row the whole game.
Its an innocent child that will be killed night 1. We get exactly the same amount of information out of them whether we lynch them or they get night killed. And we get control of the scum kill. We get control if the tic tac toe board as well.
