A known non-mafia? So you just 100% believed his claim no question? Maybe we should have just let him hang around until endgame, where he doesn't care if he lynches town. His reasons for claiming were to avoid being night killed by the mafia anyway, so he's just putting the target back on another town.
Like I said, it's easy to say what we should have done when he's now confirmed as survivor. Your reaction to us taking out the 3rd party on a day that usually ends with a no-lynch is pretty dodgy from where I sit. I consider it a good result.
I'm not against being suspicious of an individual aligned, what I was surprised was that nobody questioned the integrity of the claim, instead, they all lynched him, believing him to be a survivor.
Also, like I said, a survivor is not a role the town should be
"afraid" of. It is a helpful vote when trying to reach a majority.
Anyway, it is a done thing now and can't be changed, but the reaction of people towards that lynch gives me certain clues to work upon. Firstly, I firmly believe atleast one of the people who lynched him is mafia.
Why I believed his claim was, it was done under no pressure. Even though he knew some people were against the individual aligned, he claimed individual. Heck, he could have keep shut, and we could still be mulling about the fact whether the individual is good or bad, which would've been detrimental to the game in general.
I am not suspicious of anyone now, but Abhas voicing himself against the BKB's lynch slightly baffles me. The fact that he was really the Survivor was only confirmed after he was lynched, and he could've been any other 3rd party role or even mafia. And we all know Abhas isn't a player who'd not notice this, and stick to the unreliable hindsight. Not really suspicious, but yeah, it confuses me.
Why would he claim on day 1 when there is no pressure or vote on him, no direction to the game, and nobody has a clue that he may be individual? If he was mafia, it would be best for him to keep shut and stay under the radar. Mafia fake claiming on the day 1 is hardly a smart move, and BKB's a much better player than that.
I'm not talking about this in hindsight. When I came on, I saw the thread from the last unread post, and without skipping a post, I read it all. I noticed the turn of events and had it clear in my mind that he was probably telling the truth.
Really fail to see how it isn't good to get rid of a confirmed non-mafia. For starters how could we be sure that he wasn't mafia? And as Sed says come end game why is he more likely to vote of mafia than town? He isn't and that's a danger to us.
Speaking from the Mafia perspective?
Regarding the fact about which alignment would he vote for? It is common to see survivors bandwagon. It doesn't matter to them who wins, but it is also safe to believe that they only know as much about the game as other townies. If you are a survivor, how would you know the person you are voting for is town or mafia?
I feel survivors are helpful to the town, especially in determining voting patterns (Though this is a small game, and there may not be a
pattern as such).
With that, I would like to change my lynch from Zhuorb.
Unlynch: Zhuorb
Lynch: Themer
