The reason why I want to lynch an inactive, classical_hero, is not so much about the possibility of them being mafia, but more, strange as it sounds, to prevent the mafia from killing them. Since this is a game where scum aren't revealed on death, the only people we know are innocent are those the mafia kills. I'd like to make sure the mafia can't keep telling us "the person who isn't talking is innocent so you can trust his lack of advice." If we lynch inactives, then the mafia a) has to stay active themselves, giving us a record to analyze, and b) has to kill more active people, who can then help us identify the mafia later in the game with us knowing they're innocent.
