That would be an even more appealing option to me. It would only provide a confirmed human, which isn't as good as a confirmed synth though and would also mean that the sheriff had to expose himself to the synths. If we go down the route of investigating me then it should be dogmeat as only a public confirmation would be helpful and at least dogmeat couldn't be killed. Otherwise this just gives the synths an opportunity to out the sheriff in the knowledge he was confirming town and not synth.

Perfect plan.

You're right, I do think Tash is looking a lot more guilty and I'd rather lynch him than Nev, I'm just trying to broaden our options a bit.
I was just trying to think of a way that is the most likely to get extra info from people, it's not 100% foolproof but I do think it has some merit.

So if Tash is guilty we put focus on Nev tomorrow.
If Tash is innocent do we then still put pressure on Nev (due to the possibility of Option B being possible), or are we back to square one? Probably square one.

I just think that when we look back on voting patterns I'd much rather have multiple options, if everyone ganged up on Tash we learn nothing (in terms of voting blocks, obviously we learn if Tash is innocent or guilty), at least if it was a 9-6 vote you can try look for patterns.

Last point... You can try but it comes down to fact if we agree to put them close then someone has to pick one or the other... And the fact you're 'forcing' people to vote for one or the other then excuse will be 'well I was told we were putting Nev close so I voted for him'
 
"....and that was the classic from Phil Collins, Jesus He Knows Me. Don't forget, citizens of Megaton, i need to know by PM your actions for this fine evening and where y'all are gonna be. Saloon only holds 7 tonight (RIP Nobby). Voting takes place in open conversation and closes by 8pm tonight, at which point someone's going to be thrown out to the wastelands. 9pm everyone will commence nocturnal activities, and I'll be back at 10am with the news. Anyway, this next track is a classic from Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight."

I see your point but I still disagree.

We've seen in the past that when someone is up for an outright lynch (notably ACS the Gunsmith in the last game) that when they KNOW they're getting lynched they very often don't even bother defending themselves. They have a "Screw you guys if you think I'm guilty, you'll see tonight I'm innocent" attitude and it doesn't help us at all.
Likewise if they're bad guys their teammates will never even bother to try save them as you mention.

Now if it's a slightly closer vote (doesn't have to be a tie, just a realistic vote swing must be a possibility) then there is a lot more incentive for someone to justify their actions or to try prove their innocence. I agree the bad guys would be very wary of backing their own teammate unless its a very close vote, but at least the chance is still there that someone might try save their teammate, certainly more chance than the previous scenario. But the biggest advantage is if they're innocent they'll hopefully try clear their name.

Note I'm not saying that if we suspect someone then we should throw them in to a tied lynch. I'm all for lynching suspicious characters and I'm not a fan of just going for tied lynches as a default strategy. However I'm saying that I would prefer a 9-6 type vote rather than a 14-1 vote as it will hopefully tell us more info, and hopefully Tash will try defend himself (which he hasn't done yet).

Just playing devils advocate.

What at would you expect to gain if it was 9-6. I think arm is clear favourite to be lynched and even in a close vote I think even you want him lynched ahead of Nev.

So there is no need for his team mates to try save him there... All that will happen is those voting Nev will be under suspicion of tash is innocent for next round because they voted against someone that was guilty.

In in usually all for a tied or close lynch but when you have not much to go on and there's one perso looking far more guilty than anyone else, I say let them swing and then put that 2nd person in a close lynch tomorrow.

I don't think voting patterns tell us anything unless the vote is close. A teammate won't vote for them and risk losing them is its close. However, nor will they not vote for them should they be the clear front runner and there is no way I'd try to save a teammate no matter how close it was, its too risky.

In normally circumstances it can help but in a case where everyone has a clear favourite on who to vote, sticking another in there for sake of it seems pointless as you're forcing that person to be close but never win the vote count.

As you know, I wouldn't try to save a teammate. I'd leave them to work it out for themselves and I expect the same for me (which I've done). I think the voting means very little at this stage.

Can't remember who I'm voting for atm so just in case...TASH!

No way Tash will try to defend himself though.
