And I expected the vote, so I'm not surprised. That said, starting off with random votes will get us nowhere, so I decided to throw out a discussion topic for some to chew on. Doing that usually gets me suspicious for the crowd, and unfortunately, I have been incorrectly lynched twice already within the last couple of weeks for doing so. Ask yourself this, though: if I was a real mafia, would I call attention to myself so blatantly by suggesting no-lynch? I've seen others in other games get lynched for doing so and they've usually been innocent-though, of course, there's always exceptions. I'm generally much more suspicious of those who fly under the radar, agree with others, don't rock the boat, and don't make controversial accusations-think Mathcam in the last mini-invitational. The best example here would be discer in Mountainous Mafia I. He wasn't controversial and went all the way to the end to win it.
In general, though, speaking as a general student of Mafia, why would it be bad IN this case to no-lynch? The reason I say this is that in this case, it would be no different than starting off the game with night like most minis do, though you would have the benefit of an additional day's knowledge. It WOULD be a very bad idea, I agree, if you had only one killing group, as lynching is the only way you can get rid of the mafia. This game is different, however-you have two, so the mafia's odds are much higher of killing each other. Consider Mini 137, for instance, where the SK killed the godfather. Obviously, that doesn't happen often, but in games like this, the odds are high that one mafia will kill another mafia sometime during the game at night. Thus, why risk sacrificing an additional townie? I speak in general as a student of Mafia, though this game is obviously way too early to talk in specifics about this game.
