I see, yeah there are some benefits in easier targetting, but I don't think it outweights the negatives. So you'd propose we use the killing power on someone today? Who would you use it on if you had 15 charges right now? And who would you lynch?Well the objective of the game is to win as town, not win with as many people as possible. I'll agree that culling numbers in itself is not good for the town faction, but it also does good things for us. We're playing with ~30 people. The odds of finding mafia players improve as we cull players, we get rid of players that are suspect or in this case, could be suspect, and consequently reduce the amount of players detectives will have to choose from if they have to investigate. We're playing with this many people, so the game should go on for a few nights provided there aren't like 3 killing parties - if we don't cull the detectives, and preferably no other important roles, I'd say there was at least some value to town. Also, about the killing parties, there should be at least 2. Perhaps something third party related; if we kill 2 people today while everyone is alive, we should have a decent chance to hit them honestly.
Giving theories is nice and all, but we need some actual targets if you want to be doing that kind of thing.
