2. sorry i thought i pointed it out earlier too, but i don't see the benefits...this assumes the 4 are town, otherwise you have 50% chance that a scum is actually caught (or 50% or more). Moreover, did you know stefl's role day one?

3. although it serves the anti vette point, the protecting vett point assumes they knew who you are...

oh cmon, you're splitting hairs.

Lynching me is a good way to reduce the odds of there being an RB by 80%, and there's always the chance that I'm mafia?

I mean c'mon man, seriously, wtf is that?

THat's like saying I want to lynch you specifically because you could be mafia and reduce the odds of something else, in some theoretical way. Where's your game, linkz?

And when I flip town? Then there IS a roleblocker who has thus far refused to claim and clear the air, and you are further away from town victory than before.

You put THAT on the same level as lynching Heph to clear stef?

I'll agree with FF, this game really IS bizarre.

1. It is? I thought it was based on my own reasoning. Specifically where I said LD the role-bodyguard Scum RB makes for good balance, on top of RB not claiming yet, on top of there being, so far, town power roles, and overly-coordination-dependent mafia roles. (Like, RBing the hider, so that another role can do something to them) I could go on.

2. Shouldn't this be making sense to you? 4 People claimed to be town in response to questions of "are you townie/mafia" If those 4 people are all town, what is the need to block stefl? Block someone else, kill one of the 4, rendering stefl potentially useless, and simply manipulate stefl. WHy do I need to know exactly what they're thinking? There is potential for them to do it, and many benefit over actually RBing stefl. It's both preferable and likely.

3.No, I do not actually have to have a killing power. The RB only need think that I do. But yes, Vette would likely have to be scum. Or something like that. There's a lot of variations there could be that don't involve Vette, but point to the thinking that I have a killing role. From this basic derivation, someone who didn't believe my claim would be one to look at. The idea that it could be to protect Vette is only one aspect of that idea.

as i said (or tried to) many times, i knew he was LD when he said he knew prof was pro town shortly before dawn. If i ever thought of cop on him it'd have been reading his post thinking he was fake claiming cop.... then i made the connections and unvoted.

Why are you apologizing to me?

but leaving both alive for another round of night actions is probably best.

Heph would be a far better lynch than you, and I'm not interested in that either. From a purely informational standpoint, you two offer the most. Followed by Stefl and ST or myself. Just because it's a good lynch information wise does not mean I'd be for it. Especially not when far more can be gained over another night of actions.
