Ooh, ooh, game question! If a sane doctor and an insane doctor "protect" the same person, does the sane doctor save the person from the insane doctor?

On second thought Dgc, protect Nordlead please.

OK, I read the thread in full, and I'm back. Let me organize my thoughts and I'll post what I think

Anyone AFK to vote for?

I meant posts, you fools. :P

But even then, looking back I believe the thread was only at 243 posts at the time of my post, and not 248. 

Let's see.

DGC, you screwed big time, you NEVER roleclaim doctor unless it's a desperate situation, and this wasn't. No one was lynching you. As for what to do about him, it's a difficult situation. On one side, he says he's a doctor, and if he is, we shouldn't lynch him he's an easy mafia target. On the other, he claimed the most perfect cover-up possible, doctor appearing as anti-town, which kinda neglects anything we can do

I think the claim is way too forced, and if it was a regular mafia game, I wouldn't even consider it. But in this game, we don't even know what roles are in it, so you never know if this could be true.

Anyway, my plan was to pile on people to start forcing out confessions and lynch the unsatisfactory ones. In a sense, we already have our first confession, and I deem it unsatisfactory. Therefore, we could go with lynching Dgc, BUT, I think we should target other people, see what they have to say when they have the noose almost tied around his neck, and then decide who we lynch

But in the end you're giving the mafia a free kill.  While it may discourage idiots in other games, it only hurts the townies in this game.

Killing the Doctor ourselves only frees up the Mafia to kill somebody besides the Doctor tonight.  That's not good for us.

As for my general thoughts on DGC, he reminds me of Hatmoza last round, who made a stupid roleclaim on day two casting heavy suspicion on himself (causing everyone but me to vote for a lynch [Edit: Nevermind.  Falcon, Megaman, and Gnizmo were the innocents we lynched last round]).  It turned out he was telling the truth the whole time, much like I surmised.  While the roleclaim may have been stupid, it wouldn't have made sense for him to lie under the circumstances he was in, at least not in the manner that he did, so I believed him.

In DGC's case, I'm not so sure.  On one hand the roleclaim seems innocent and naive, much like Hatmoza's, and it seems like it won't do him much good (making us highly suspicious of him, leading to a possible lynch, and making him the mafia's number one target if he's telling the truth).

Of course, there's also the possibility that he figured he wouldn't look suspicious at all, and hoped this would lead to us thinking he's innocent despite a possible guilty investigation.   He may just want the townies on his side.  While that seems possible, I think it's highly unlikely, especially given the haphazard manner in which the details of his role spilled out.

Khuutra would be more likely to be guilty of this, given that he implied that he has some sort of investigative role in a rather quiet manner, probably in an attempt to land Doctor's Protection tonight, but also possibly in an attempt to make us think he's pro-town when he's really not.

This is weird.

I don't know what to believe with Dgc

We didn't lynch Hatmoza last time. We listened to him and lynched his Gnizmo instead. He was murdered that night
