Hey guys, my comp crashed during a power outage so now i have to reinstall windows so i'll be out for at least the moment. Thought I'd toss out a bit of strategy in the mean time so bear with me as I give the run down of my thought process.

The question of the day: Why lynch a revealed doctor?
This has been bugging me for the past couple of days, and to be honest it makes very little sense to me. The usual excuse I hear people say is that they are revealed so they are dead already. Sure, this is possible. But they can't be any more dead than being lynched by the town.
Here's why:
1) Case 1 - Actually a doctor: Best case scenario, the next night both the mafia and the SK hit the doctor because doctors must be eliminated before going after sheriff/invest. One person dies, the person you were going to kill anyway so it effectively means the same thing as if the doctor had successfully healed a double kill(which is impossible to do on your own as a doctor). This actually improves the doctors efficiency for one turn by 100%. Even if this is not the case, and the sk and mafia target different targets, it still wastes one of their kills and extends your effective healing lifespan for one turn with an almost guaranteed chance of success.
2) Case 2- SK: Same deal here basically, the SK will get to kill another turn but Mafia will probably end up killing the "doctor" anyway, wasting their kill for the night. Basically this ends up as the neutral ground as it were, the worst that could happen here assuming the mafia goes for the announced doctor is that you end up in the same place you would have if you lynched him to begin with.

So assuming the mafia at least goes for the doctor, you come out neutral at the least, with varying levels of higher efficiency the better the scenario becomes beyond that.

Your thoughts?
