As mentioned, we either have the option of a second iteration of the random questions or we have the option of proceeding to a lynch, obviously there are no other options because if there were people would have mentioned them, since not doing so it very anti-town.
Such being the case, as I have no suspects ad nobody has pointed a finger, we are left with a short list of options.
A) Second round of questions from that list, same method
B) We generate an Attrition List, by basically asking who thus far has engaged in pro-town behavior, knowing of course that this generally doesn't give us a lead on scummers but at least ensures we minimize potential losses from a bad lynch. We pick a few options and check who falls where, its always best to pick those options before we see who lands on the list to minimize tampering. The usual ones are post count, non-NM post count, question contributors, and any who generated plans or killed a bad one before it proceeded (devil's advocates being as useful as idea people typically).
C) We mix them together, create an attrition list and have those people answer some questions.
D) We follow an alternate plan, please don't opt for D unless you have a tangible plan to put on the table with it.
E) Do nothing, twiddle thumbs
F) Lynch anyone who votes for E
And I'd like to hear from everyone about which route they want to follow.
Way I see it, if you're not RBIRL and you don't chime in, you picked E, making my selection easier anyway. Doing more A could have unanticipated pitfalls and benefits, my guess though is it will serve mostly to expand the minefield for anyone planning a fake character claim, we don't know of course if the scum have motive for doing that or not. We also have to deal with possible clues, someone might, say, be a firefighter hunting for their arsonist and have some info, "You know the arsonist fought at Thermopylae" for instance would rule out all us Late Helladic peoples and there's be a pretty short list of people from that to compare to other answers.
My guess is more questions will not particularly hurt or help us and is more likely to help than hurt but not today. Using that with option C though allows for a serious escalation in questioning, and I figure we're basically going to go with C anyway its just whether or not we're going to be formal about doing it.
