no control over the lynch
This is not what I said. I said no control over the outcome. As in the outcome of the random selection between the two. Even if it's more control than random selection of all players, it's still less control than we should have in this.
I don’t really follow this reasoning still or know what ‘assassins objectively have a lot more info’ has to do with it
It has everything to do with it. The only town players with
any info are the hot targets. Everyone else has nothing they know to be 100% true. Yet each assassin knows three people's roles: their ward, their cold target, and themselves. That makes it almost a 50% chance they will kill one of the roles they want dead and don't know which player they are. We are in a very tight spot in town and letting random chance dictate
any aspect of the game, even if small, is a bad idea. We need as much control of the situation as we can get.
