Trapped in Taormina [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I know its not conventional mafia strategy - but applied consistently it could work to undermine the town - as townies who have no role lose their favoured suspect, run out of ideas and drop out of the discussion to be wogged....kind of like what's apparently happened here.

WoG rates are consistent with other games and it doesn't follow that townies would ditch the game based on their suspect being killed--and in any case that's an inferior strategy to letting them live and chase after someone who may be an opponent or a pro town role. My read of the night kills is that the mafia are gunning for other mafia.

Also allows clever mafioso to say 'hey I wouldn't be so dumb as to take out best suspect...'

Second: killing of the lynch targets doesn't eliminate discussion and it's also not a good strategy. The only discussion it removes is votes for the person who got killed, which the mafia would want. So this point is wifom at best.

We aren't going to get anywhere if we base our suspicions on poor or blatantly false logic.
