Well its much better than a no brain sacrificial lamb vote at any rate and I've been paranoid about the mason pair considering just how broken that role really is and I can't imagine anyone using it without some major drawback involved.

S+B wants to stay alive the most so I want to kill him first so... ##vote strongandbig

If scum was hanging on their KP last night they are basically forced to do it again anyway so it shouldn't matter that much delaying the sacrificial lambs

@Drazerk: why is the role broken? It's a mason pair, but instead of being town, they're neutral. I fail to see why this is OP. What I do think is that we should kill one of them to confirm the other.

I also knew you would be onboard, because murder has always been your thing

Mason pair that can win with the other person alive. Also they are survivors that don't effect the game in any way shape or form so killing them is only done out of pure spite.

Basically the optimal way to play is to claim in post 1. Get yourself lynched and let your partner afk while town and scum play out the game.

Lol. Never thought of it that way. You're right of course. That makes me feel even better about killing one of them.

... That's exactly why I think there's some other mechanic to keep us from winning.

Specifically, why I think that Drazerk is another third party out to get us.

That doesn't change the pure spite part of my theory unless you somehow think I have KP in which case Acro would of been shot waaaaay before you guys

Acro, you are making the exact same mistake you did in holy roman mafia. You're relying too much on your idea of who is "confirmed town" and not enough on actual analysis and playing the game.

There is a very good chance to take the only scum KP out of the picture completely. If you kill me off you are not only potentially fucking over me and hiro, if Drazerk or someone else does have a hidden KP, but you're also potentially sacrificing a townie. If xskc or Hyaach are scum, which is almost certainly the case, then they have no reason to hold their KP any more, since we will clearly be lynching both of them before ghost.

You are also opening the door to scenarios in which town loses a winnable game. If there is a recruited traitor in your town team then you lynch me, and there's a NK, then it becomes 4-2-2. At that point ghost and hiro no longer have any reason to vote with town, since you have shown that you don't give a fuck about our interests even though we've been playing allied with you the whole game. Town loses right then.

If it turns out the scum is in your "confirmed" posse, then if you lynch me, xs, and Hyaach you lose, assuming there are nks after each lynch.

Tldr

Tldr, you're making the same dipshit mistake you did in holy roman mafia, by using mechanics instead of scumhunting and by not killing the obvious scum staring you in the face. Don't do it again.

@drazerk I think you only have a single KP and will use it against hiro as soon as I'm dead.

Read aperture

If you give me KP that will happen every time I'm not even going to question it considering how easy it is to fake being a vigilante

It also doesn't have to be you, it could be acro or ghost. I just think its you because you haven't been playing pro-town.

To be honest its much better for town to have this mysterious third party meet their win con than you guys considering thats 2 less scum possibilities for us to deal with

... Not if town loses. Do you have any response to my traitor point?

Also are you claiming here?

If a traitor comes in we have already lost so theres no point discussing that theory as its basically unwinnable

I think S&B is being wayyyyy too paranoid about Drazerk. The OP states there is a Vanilla Townie in the game. VTs don't have KP and I don't think we're being trolled that hard. Also, why the hell would a 3rd party VT bother killing another 3rd party. Also, lets play this completely clinically: if Drazerk IS a third party and his wincon is to outlive you two, then why the hell do I (a townie) care which one of you wins? So far I think Hiro has done a great job helping town and would be sorry to see him lose for his effort (assuming he's 3rd party). On the other hand, I am not impressed at all by your play, your strange speculations, and your extreme fear of dying.

Also, I am not excluding the possibility of a traitor, but your insistence of its presence is weird. I detailed exactly what situations can occur and nothing you have said effects it much. If the final scum is in the group of "confirmed" townies, we're screwed ANYWAY. Lets check that situation out:

1. We lynch xsksksk. He's town and someone gets shot at night.
2. We lynch Hyaach. He was framed and is also town. Someone gets shot at night.
3. You three (ghost, Hiro, SnB) are 3rd party, so now we are at: 1v1v3. AKA town lost the game.

Lynching a 3rd party today does NOT change the time we have. It just makes it 0v1v3 after the last night (so technically the last day is lylo instead of mylo). However, in this unlikely situation it DOES improve our chances at lylo, because we have an extra DT control to go on AND information about the alignment of Hiro-SnB.

SnB's fear of dying and his reasoning around it is setting off all kinds of alarmbells in my head.

My fear of dying is because I'm playing to my freaking win condition.
Which is for me or hiro to stay alive.
How is this hard to understand?

If you haven't been lying about your role, then who in their right mind is going to shoot you?

I'm worried there is some weird role that wants to kill third parties, or that Drazerk would kill me out of spite if given the chance.

Town doesn't lose the game at 1v1v3 if two of the three vote with the townie.

Here's my scenario for a traitor. You lynch xks or Hyaach now and they flip scum but the game doesn't end. There is a night kill, so you know that someone other than me and hiro is scum. It's 4v1v3 and you have two chances to find the traitor.

Alternatively if xks is town but Hyaach is scum, then after you kill him it's LYLO and you have to find the traitor.

In either of these situations killing me first takes away a crucial day and straight up makes you lose if Hyaach is scum and not xks.

You're also mis representing what I'm saying a lot of the time. If xks and Hyaach are both town then it's because Hyaach is a miller. If that's the case then you're at LYLO again after you kill them both, and have one more chance to find the scum.

This is super fishy. Why would scum hold their KP again tonight?
