Apparently, **fluid** sees it, too. I’m glad they’re not all going to blindly follow **Oredigger** with his Don’t let’s lynch **Seeker** even if we know he’s a wolf. > [@Werewolf (Mafia)--The Split \[Signups--In progress\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/werewolf-mafia-the-split-signups-in-progress/485692/912): > > Why is it pro-Town to go after the next best candidate? If we have a very high likelihood of lynching a scum, why not lock it in so we can be sure of that before we proceed? Leaving a suspected scum alive only will serve as a distraction and will limit the amount of usable data we can get from the kill. > > Frankly, Oredigger77, I’m having a hard time seeing why your position is pro-town. Choosing the next best candidate does not make any real sense unless you truly believe there is some sort of power in the game that hurts town when lynching a specific scum player. I cannot imagine why on earth this would be the case, it would throw off the whole balance of the game. I’ll say this much: my vote stands, and if Seeker shows up as scum as I strongly believe, I’m going to be taking a long, hard look at your posts. If you think he’s really a wolf, DON’T put off killing him. You don’t have that kind of time. You’ve already lost way too many townies. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/splitting-the-difference-dead-thread-for-the-split/486357)._
