I'm all for avoiding the lynching of an innocent noble. The only problem is that you need to ask yourself: "What do we gain by sending someone to jail?"
Differences between Jail and Lynch:
Jail:
- No one dies -- therefore, no innocent villagers can die.
- Less point penalty for hitting a villager with the votes.

Con: No role reveal.[/list]
Lynch:
- Someone dies -- might be an assassin.
- Voting patterns begin to be established.
- Con: Severe point penalty.
- Con: Innocent Villager might die.
I think it's really not a benefit to us to jail someone (early, anyways), because it will do
absolutely nothing to quell suspicion about someone who is successfully voted to be put in jail. So even if we 'win' a vote by putting someone in jail, it will do nothing to help us figure out who the assassins are...at least at first.
