Here is where your thinking is wrong.  It may not be evident immediately, but it can help later on as the game progresses.

Also, there's always the chance something comes up once somoene is pressured and asked for reasoning on stuff (e.g. Why ddi flint post what he did?  Why did he not answer my questions?  Why did ER tie the votes? Why did TBO want to kill two people? etc).

Another example is last game. Look at first day voting, it helped us uncover Arby (mob) trying to kill Flint.  Even Nolio admitted that he was doing the same thing and that was also a mistake (though noone pinned him as mob for it, except flint (but that doesn't count)).

Till a bigger fish comes along and goes

*chomp chomp*

"1. TBO doing his vote switch was intentional to make a tie and see 2 people go home. thats either mobbish or incredibly dumb. i am willing to lynch for either of those reasons.

Very, very bad.  The idea is to expose voting patterns.  Getting two people killed as a result, is very anti-town behaviour.  He may not be mob, we all know TBO could be  the other option!

"2. While I am not sure what role Zarf is, there were a few of us chatting in #mafia and the decision came about to NOT vote flint and do WC instead. When Zarf seen the vote by TBO to tie it he quickly shifted and went flint. Could it be that it was planned? sure...I don't have a full opinion on that yet."

Zarfs smarter than he lets on, is my view.  Not sure with the history of this, since I was away for the tie.

"3. ER was pushing hard to save flint. So don't be surprised if he dies tonight. Just sayin doc...get on it?"

Pushing hard to save flint, or pushing hard to kill WC?  Given he wanted others to vote WC, and he even wanted WC to die before.  ER was trying to not make a tie, he was trying to get someoene to switch at end of phase.  Either way, can't really get a read on ER atm.

"4. Torq was pushing very hard to kill flint. Could it be that he knew something? Or did he have trust issues from the get-go cause of flint's history? cops...that should be you!"

I wasn't pushing at all, let alone "very hard".  In forum I pointed out why his behaviour was odd and he didn't have any responses to my questions, refer:  http://www.imperialconflict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=1629819#p1629819 .  Yea, he might have been away or whatever at the time, but he's the one who wrote all that in the first place.  If anything, I put up the most arguments for someone. Granted, it was wrong - but noone came in and said "yea, torq is right" or "we agree with torq".  Yet for some reason, we find Flint lynched.

"If ER dies tonight, then TBO should probably be an easy first lynch."

Try to stay away from this thinking.  A lot can happen overnight - and we need to relook at what happens.  Because, if TBO is not mob, mob can easily use such arguments and what not, to end up getting a free mislynch.

Being able to view alliance news has been proposed before, and much liked by everyone!

Tis a good idea to increase cooperation between allies

No, not really

But now that I think about it.  Joker would only Jailbreak a townie, or Mob 2.  He'd never do his own, for fear of his secrets being revealed.  So yea, so far I see this not helpful at all.  If anything, I'd say its a bad thing for town.  As it stands right now, if I was Batman, I prolly wouldn't even lock up anyone, tbh.

Perhaps.

Care to explain?

Also, does noone have a view on how batman's ability helps town?

I suppose if they lock mob, it'd be good. But this early in the game, bit of a gamble, and then you empower the Joker to recruit 1 more.

Anyone?

Btw, is it just me, or does the "pro-town" Batman's role ...not really seem that pro ..town?

I mean ..if he keeps locking ...there's 40% chance that the jail breakee turns mob? I havn't figured out how Batman's role can be helpful yet.

My opinion?

Flint = 99% Mob this game.

"Autolynching" was never on the cards.  There were two mob who were pushing you to be lynched last game, and it was just a ruse to cause confusion.  Noone has ever said that autolynching is a good idea.  You can't lynch someone based on the grudges of previous game.  And those that use that as an excuse, are either covering for something or really not playing in the interest of their own side.

Either way, attempting to vote to lynch someone is putting pressure on someone and guaging how they and the voters react.  It gives a hell of a lot of info which may not help immediately, but helps later on once all collated.

Anyway, pretty sure you're smarter than thinking you need to have said that.
