from Farael:

today I would be in favour of lynching LMP. That would give me some information on Aiwendil and worst case scenario, we get rid of the most controversial villager so far.
If it's information on Aiwendil you want, then it's Aiwendil you should vote for. It's an unfortunate fact of the game that the only accurate information comes from death.

But the second half of your statement is, while a little cold-blooded, intriguing. Get rid of those people who are muddying things. Back on Day 1 lmp told me that too much clarity could only help the wolves to hide. I couldn't disagree with this more. I think that smokescreens and side arguments are perfect wolf hiding places. You're absolutely right that if we're going to take any risks (i.e. lynch someone we're not sure is a wolf), it's got to be today. I think the only defensible reason for doing something like this is to eliminate someone who's not contributing, who's generating confusion, or who seems to be obscuring things deliberately. Someone who's making it more difficult to find the wolves. The test wouldn't be "wolvish/non-wolvish;" it would be "useful/non-useful." I'm not sure I like this idea (is it yours or mine at this point?) enough to run with it all Day, still less if I like it enough to try to organize a lynching around it, but I'd like to put it out there:

Is there anyone whose absence would make our job easier, regardless of whether or not they turn out to be innocent?
