Is it bad to lynch truly randomly during RVS?

Lynch the slot with the highest information attached to their flip that simultaneously has >=rand odds of being scum

I think we are thinking of information differently

I am more thinking of lynches that are more informative for your own reads rather than raw information about the game

If you're just blindly looking to lynch your top scumreads without really thinking about it, you're stuck once you're wrong since you aren't thinking about the game as a whole and how the flips read into it

Generally when I have multiple scumreads, I try to lynch the slot that has the most reads attached to that scumread rather than whatever one is my strongest scumread because it is the flip most likely to result in correct reads down the line no matter how they flip

Mafia is really just an information game where you really just need a specific amount of outside (relevant) information to solve the game

Skill just means you need less of that information

I like to play to get as much of that information as possible for myself so I can get other town the information they need to reach the right answer too

Scum flips are useless by themselves and that's a huge reason I don't like D1 scumflips

Yes I rarely ever see a close game with a scum lynch d1

Occasionally scum topples but most of the time the rest of the scumteam stomps

I've done it multiple times
