"Guy, you say
"It is a complete waste to lynch somebody who would die anyway, which, I said, is essentially the same as lynching nobody! The statistics prove that I am right."
While I didn't want to reopen the whole statistics discussion,(everyone feel free to ignore this, it's just theory and, I admit, now irrelevant) I have to point out that the difference between two deaths in one day and in two subsequent days IS a significant one. Every day gives us more posts from all of the suspects to analyse and aid our decision. If the posts didn't matter, and every lynch was a shot into the dark relying solely on statistics, talking would be pointless. Getting an extra day means we have more information and, presumably, can vote more intelligently.
I would actually be interested in finding out what the coorelation between the number of times a person speaks and the chance that that person's role will be sucessfully discerned by others; if there is no impact, than we're indeed wasting our time.
But this is a pointless discussion anyway, so I suppose I'll drop it."
