Bad Apple Mafia - Mafia Victory

The advantages of day 1 lynches extremely outweigh the disadvantages.
In my opinion it's much more advantageous to get an early lynch in, for a few reasons:
-Early reads are often some of the strongest.
-Day 1 lynches give you an ability to analyze the prior day's wagons, instead of wasting day 2 with what could've been done on day 1
-Lynches are obviously the town's strongest, and sometimes only, weapons against the mafia. Passing up an opportunity to lynch someone is counterintuitive to the goals of the town

Even if the lynches are random, it gives you SOMETHING to go on, instead of waiting around twiddling your thumbs until you find something to do/say.
It gives you some idea of the motives of each player, who they would like to target, etc.

For example, here we have a dichotomy between those who favor no lynches and those who don't. That in itself is important information.

Well, that makes sense, I suppose; I assumed everyone had to vote so I didn't want to be caught out without a vote since I'm not on SP all day. Now that we know that we have until Friday (I think?), I'll retract my vote. If I figure out how. (do I just edit my initial post?)

I honestly don't see how lynching on day 1 can give analysis to the prior day's wagons, though, since we were essentially just confirming our roles. Unless you can even read off that. I agree with the other points :p
