but yeah, assuming we're lynching between hk and skele today, i think skele is the best choice, because we guarantee ourselves information beyond just their alignment, whereas with hk, we don't:
if we lynch hk and he's town, we learn:
-> stranger proven town (unless she has investigative immunity), skele proven scum
if we lynch hk and he's scum, we learn:
-> nothing proven
so there's a chance we learn 2 additional people's alignments, but one of those relies on there not being investigative immunity [which there could be], and there's also a chance we learn nobodies alignments (and honestly i still think hk is scum so i think we'd probably learn nothing other than his own alignment)
if we lynch skele, and he's town, then we learn:
-> hk proven scum
and if we lynch skele and he's scum, we learn:
-> stranger proven town (unless there's more than 2 scum left, but if there is, itd be a 3p anyways, and we should be lynching mafia over 3p always anyway)
so with a skele lynch we guarantee ourselves at least some kinda information beyond just their alignment, no matter what they flip as!
someone double check that im making sense here though
