Under normal circumstances, yes. But, looking at the system, it's probably one of the better ways to off him, should you get any kills on town side...

Guys, who should I ask for presents
(Or more accurately, how many, because I think I'm going to vote randomly?)

Do not discuss currently-running games.  Your strategy is yours to ponder.

@Ched I can offer this advise, and you can send it to the others

..enough with the game breaking attempts.

I'll play the "egotistical mod" here, and say that the system isn't made to be broken.  You're not even supposed to use hyperlogic to win here unless someone takes a gamble. 

In the end, you win the same way you win in other games: scumhunting.  Even the letters are a matter of people reading. 

Thus, you try to read the players.  The ones who seem the most scummy to you don't get letters.  The ones who seem the least scummy get letters.  How MANY depends on how much risk you like: the riskier the more you send.

There's no 'best choice' here.  Some people like risk and will send many and perhaps to one or two to 'scum' just in case.  Others would be more cautious and send to only one or two.  I can even see reasons for not sending ANY and sending one to EVERYONE.  Who you are as a person, as well as the role you may get, will determine what you'll do.

But I'll tell you this: random is NOT your friend.  If you don't have an idea on who may be scum and who may be town at the end of this day, the letters will be the least of your worries.
