The game this is based off of starts out with a small group of players and mulitple deaths. Some days there will be 2-3 night kills with villagers having NK abilities, mafia having them, and neutrals having them. You also have so many ways to catch the bag guys like, for example the sheriff and investigator are both seers, the lookout will be able to see people moving about (and if someone visits someone who winds up death it's pretty obvious), you also have like 2 bodyguards, and then the jailor who if you get caught in a lie with him wind up dead.

Bottom line in the actual game Town of Salem if you add lynches on top of 2-3 deaths a night and don't give your seers time to work you wind up with an evil win every time.

It can get bad with the amount of neutrals. If you screw around and end up lynching "good" characters the neutrals will often do their own thing and even when the seer hits you can't get the numbers for a lynch.

There is also the Jestor. The Jestor is actively trying to get lynched because his win condition is to die by hanging. And if you vote for him then he will wind up killing you.

In a game where there could be as many seers as bad guys and twice the number of night kills, it just isn't a great idea to toss around lynches like crazy.

If you look at his ruleset there are 3 mafia, 2 seer types, and a whole bunch of potential killing roles. Blind lynches are bad, but now we have something to go on with the Autumn thing so we should try to flesh that out more and maybe we have a lynch tomorrow.
