Spoobir does make a very good point, it seems strange that as a survivor you'd try such a move like that. Where as being mafia it would be a good stunt to pull, as you could have though a few more might have jumped on you.
Also another thing is that MaD claimed survivor right, and since you weren't actually silenced, why didn't you counterclaim him saying you were the survivor?
1. Being a survivor is separate, being Abhas is a situation that's worse. If I'm alive after the first night, suspicion is already on me for being alive. I'm playing for the town, but I'm 100% sure there is little town support because they feel if I'm still alive after 3 nights, it means I'm mafia for sure.
I'm paying a price for being experienced.
By claiming Silenced, I could accomplish 2 things together -
1. Try to unsettle the mafia,
2. Show to the town that I was targeted.
Mafia know this fact very well that experienced players are bound to go early, look back at the thread, each day there has been a mention of this fact. They left me to live on purpose, so that they could lead a lynch on me, without being suspicious.
2. Regarding the reason why I did not counter-claim MaD, I was online before he had claimed survivor, and when I came back on, p# had counter-claimed as busdriver. This meant there was no need of me to counter claim, because he was getting lynched anyway. It also meant, there was a possibility that another mafia might claim survivor in the future, where I can counter-claim.
Also, posting then meant, breaking my silence, which would have been damn hard to explain. Especially to this lot, considering at the moment, it seems we are on a different wavelength altogether.
The reason why I want Spoobir lynched today is, so that the Cop can perform his duty easily. He has 1 less person to focus on. We also have the bus-driver tomorrow because he was role-blocked tonight. This means, we can play around with mafia's targets and try to attack the mafia itself.
If I live the day, the Mafia will definitely target me at night, that means the cop can do his job easily.
