Who was it that suggested the first Viral lynch? It was me. I would have voted for him sooner the second time around, but I was out at the time.
You know, what I hate about mafia is that literally anything can be spun as scummy. kokirion pointed out a while back how this was becoming a numbers game with all of the claiming, and how bad of a spot the mafia was getting in. Viral was smart and realized that, I think. He knew he was almost certainly number one one the "to investigate" list and instructed mafia to never defend him too much/side with him. It's also common mafia strategy to not blatantly defend your fellow mafia and to even thrust suspicion on them every once and while to blend in.
You're also acting like you're the one that got Viral lynched, when that's nowhere near close to the truth. Tristan got Viral lynched - you contributed nothing substantial to the effort because Viral plays a tight game and didn't give anyone anything to work with; it took, like I said, and investigation effort to get him killed off.
Yes, it was foolish for me to do what I did in hindsight, but you must be seriously thinking I bussed all three of the confirmed scum, since I was among the first people to vote for all three.
"Among this first" is so much different than "the first" that it's not even funny. By this logic, remember my lynch candidates a while back? Oh yeah, something like this......
If we have next to no lynch candidates for today, I say we go for one of the quiet people that no one can get a read on. Toxic_Snowman and Doc seem like the best candidates at the moment to me.
Oh yeah. Both mafia. Going to pat myself on the back for that one. I'm confirmed town now, right?
My two lynch candidates that day when you "bussed" Doc ended up both being mafia. We had little to no leads whatsoever that day, so I think you knew after my suggestion that one of the two were going to be lynched almost solely due to their lack of activity. You didn't start the wagon, but you jumped on as soon as you didn't have an option. You also saw it as a great oppertunity to built your town cred because, as I've said, mafia has been in a bad position since kokirion claimed and the curtain started falling.
So that's both Doc and Viral down for you. As for Toxic? Well, you knew you were in trouble. You were DEAD yesterday if something didn't happen. What better strategy than a last-ditch town cred effort to get your inactive scum bud killed?
All three of your "justifications" for being town are easily explained and hold literally no water compared to the numbers game we're at right now.
Your statements make no sense because only the odd night vigilante and doctor are alive. There was no "pick your poison" threat last night. A PR claim now would only help the mafia.
It makes
perfect sense, and you're absolutely refusing to believe it does because I think you're desperately clinging to whatever you can at this point. Let me clearly and concisely lay this out for you since clearly it seems to be going over your head:
What Happened: It's night six. The Vigilante and Doctor have not claimed and cannot act, but will be able to do so on night seven. Tristan is going to be killed because if left alive, he will relay his results on day seven and confirm someone/hit scum. There's no reason for the mafia to target anyone else because of no claim.
What Could've Happened Had You Softclaimed Vigilante (For Example): It's night six. We now have a claimed Vigilante and Cop. The mafia knows if they fail to eliminate Tristan, he will relay his results on day seven and confirm someone/hit scum. However, if left alive, this Vigilante will be able to act on night seven and will even likely survive their nightkill due to the doctor also being able to act. With the claims and player numbers, the possibility of hitting mafia is quite high. They now have to pick their poison - allow Tristan to relay results, or allow the Vigilante to get a kill the following night.
Do you finally understand what I'm saying? Again, I thought this was so obvious since we've been simmering on this odd/even mechanic for a while now. But this is ON TOP of you just failing to even vaguely soft claim in general, something that would only make sense with the amount of pressure you had on you after your extreme scummy plea to be investigated. Here's the thing: I don't think you
can claim, because the game will end right there when someone calls you out for it. You flip scum, game over. You flip town, we go after who countered you, game over. I think the former is more likely.
There are some vanilla townies still alive, so it's best for PRs to stay hidden among the vanillas.
This is laughable. You're acting like these vanilla townies are hidden among the crowd and could be anyone. News flash: their right in front of everyone's face with potentially just a single one remaining unknown. I'm completely aware of who is most likely our remaining PRs, because it's really freaking obvious to god and everyone at this point. The mafia knows this as well, and your attempt to keep the curtain down and keep us from pulling off masks is just digging you deeper and deeper into that hole.
Another thing that you keep assuming is that all of the soft claims are true. There is at least one soft claim that I think is very false, and I will elaborate on that in my reads list soon.
Did you read the rest of my response to Frozen and Malon? There's almost zero reason to believe any of these vanilla soft claims are false. I'm not going to repeat myself.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to your justification on why one is fake (wonder who it's going to be out of just three people lol). Definitely not me or Jamie, nope.
