Re: Forum Mafia: Keep your friends close...
In some ways, naming some obvious names in a death note could give the mafia a perfect opportunity to start a lynch wagon the next day, claiming that it's clear the named people had a hand in the deaths at night. In other words, they don't have to justify their votes as much as they would otherwise need to. In this way, the mafia are both controlling the night kills as well as the day lynches, and I don't like it one bit.
I don't see doing an early lynch of wicked as stifling discussion, but as accelerating it. All it will do is let us know earlier whether or not we can trust that type of clue left in death posts - additional knowledge equals more meaningful discussion. So, yes, I'd like to allow us to have more meaningful discussions sooner rather than later.
