if you do not lynch in cops then you give whoever is the real cop another chance for a report or force scum to sac
the extra report is exceedingly unlikely to be useful, it's just putting off a necessary vote for a later day when there's potentially less benefit. I don't see the point even though it's a totally legitimate strategy

by pure mathematics it might even be sub-optimal

so in short: if you want to win, go with the flow and focus your energy on doing what you have the power to do to effect the outcome.

playing weird strategies, even optimal ones, will not win you games

also most players don't actually care about what is optimal.

i am sure if someone told an epicmafia player that it was optimal to jump off a cliff they would do it without second thought
only if every trophy winner before them jumped off a cliff

Not optimal is correct :)

Lynching outside of cops isn't worth the 2/6 chance or w/e it is
CharlesMarkabout 12 years ago
if they end up lynching outside the cops they will lynch you instead because jan2 is an established setup with no room for free thought.

this was also a problem in AnD

actually lynching outside of cops is optimal unless you think cop is janned but people are to *** scared to not have a "clear" cop d2

If the whole town is voting between cc's there's no reason to split, but gamethrowing is always defined by intent.
