I don't know why lynching an innocent would be a good thing. We want more innocents alive.
No, we want more wolves dead - the name of the game is kill the wolves, not spare as many villagers as possible.
Yes, killing innocents is pointless, but we don't know that these people are innocent (your hunches don't count). Just consider the simple fact that we cannot kill wolves unless we lynch people and it should be obvious why we should lynch every round. The less we lynch, the less opportunities we have to get a wolf.
A) We want to keep the ratio up as much as possible so the wolves don't win. The more people alive, the more chances we have to catch a wolf.
B) It's not like I just picked "whelp I just don't think Rooster's a wolf in my gut", it actually just didn't seem likely she was to me, and various people agreed. She didn't act like one, there was no reason at all to believe she was one. Granted, I've never played the game before (well, Vongeo's, but let's forget that existed) so maybe it is played by just pulling names from hats and hoping you hit a wolf, but that seems kind of pointless to me. May as well just play dice at that point. It seems more enjoyable to actually, you know, try to find out who's a wolf and use logic to do so. Jack had many more likely choices than Rooster, the main consensus behind her lynching seemed to be "she's annoying so let's kill her".
C) Maybe I just think of other people as people and would like to let as many enjoy it as possible. I know I wouldn't want to randomly be lynched. Do unto others as you would want done to you and all that jazz. I prefer team efforts over just killing random people off because maybe they could possibly be a wolf we don't know.
D) I
said I would throw my vote to that side if I had to. I don't know why it's so wrong to see if I could possibly change the course of the vote.
You act like I was actively trying to make sure nobody was lynched. I voted like two hours after Pongo posted and there were already 5 votes for Rooster. I was just seeing if I could do anything at all. You killed her with 12 votes without my help and four hours to go, didn't you?
