Red_Baron: It does give us info, it tells us about one player.
Yes, it tells us about one dead player. It leaves us little to work with in the morning.
If I recall correct you were one of those who said that we needed a lynch.
We did. And lynching Crazybear is better than a no-lynch, if that had been the alternative. However, in this case there were two other cases - on myself and Stuart, respectively.
Had Rod not acknowledged your vote, and there had been no hammer, I would've hammered Crazybear by the deadline. A no-lynch accomplishes nothing, a random lynch accomplishes something, if not much.
And this:
If by some stroke of luck he is scum, then we got lucky. If he is town, then we have a higher chance of hitting the right target next time. And we avoid a no lynch, although the night-kill might kill one of us as well
is completely irrelevant. That can be said about any lynch, so is hardly a reason to lynch Crazybear over anyone else.
