Considering the lengths he went to last game to try to convince people he was town when he was not, do you think this weird vote for himself and readiness to sacrifice himself for town (with just three votes on him including his own) could be an attempt to do the same thing again. I know he reads mafia wiki and this type of tactic is laid out there somewhere as a high risk/high reward mafia play. On it's own it just seems like a rash surrender, but that doesn't play well with how he played last game where he was manipulative and squirmed all he could to stay alive. Coupled with how he is claiming town so early in the game he seems to be working very very hard to convince people he is one of the good guys. |
You followed last game so I'm going to make a parallel with RCT.
RCT turned up with a defeated attitude when he had a lot of votes on him and a dangerously close deadline, I instantly thought his reaction was genuine and considered him Town from that point on. Even on Day Two, I was one of the rare ones sticking out for him.
What made me believe him was that his situation was indeed pretty dire when he made his "I give up" speech and I could see how the situation would have looked hopeless from his point of view.
Nickelsbe's situation right now is miles away from RCT's. There was only two votes on him (that's 7 votes away from a lynch), a couple of FoS and he had 4 whole real-life days of discussion ahead to remove suspicions from him through participation. So to me, this move looks fake, very very fake.
Signature goes here!
