To all: I know, I know, the "experienced players" are saying that's a bad thing. But they have not been paying attention. BM7 had several no-lynches, including Day 1, and was (let me emphasize) the first BM where town won.
Even the IC's were astounded. Which led me to two conclusions: 1. Experienced player means Jack Shit. 2. Any "experienced player" who has been paying attention to BM7 knows that a Day1 No-lynch can be a good thing for town. Being overly against it, is, as of now in my book very suspicious. Suspicious enough to warrant a lynch, even.
I didn't know that about BM7, BM8 was my first. It's encouraging to hear. While I have the utmost respect for our more experienced players, I'm becoming more and more convinced that their advice is... not always helpful.
Mostly, it's that you can't apply any piece of advice as a blanket. They got lucky. They had a cop and Siquo tunneled on scum D1. So if you've got a cop and you know it, but the scumteam doesn't--AND the scumteam doesn't have a godfather--then yeah, no-lynching's the right answer, because it pretty much wins you the game.
Experienced player means that you know something about the many ways a scumteam can screw you over, and you can win even without your power roles holding your hand and getting lucky. Experienced player means knowing something about the many ways power-heavy town can screw you over, and you can win even if you're in 3P lylo against two confirmed townies.
The only town win BM players have actually earned was in BM8.
If that still means jack shit to you... then well, that's too bad. Please note that the town IC doesn't know who the scumteam is, and the scum IC doesn't know anything about the existence of town's power roles. They're just like you, except for the part where they can't ask questions or feel out the situation on their own. You can't expect them to always have the perfect answers in such moments.
