Hello. Rationalize it from the perspective of a third-party killer. You're THIRD PARTY. EVERYONE HATES YOU (though scum hate you more because even if they achieve their wincon over town, then they still have to get rid of the third party--BUT a survivor does not HAVE that option. A survivor can easily WIN it out with scum.)
Sorry, I got confused as to the definitions of 3rd party and Survivor, and thought of them as the same roles. I hadn't taken into account that the scum has to kill a 3rd party. That's my fault for not reasoning through it completely :/.
Also what? Scum aren't winning? What makes you say that? Next: Wat? You say that scum have the ability to 'sway the vote and win'? That is fairly interesting given that the only ones who could do such (as I remember) are the Militia Captains [3 vote-shift thingy]. Weird how you say this as a certainty.
Ok, first, I think we're having a major language interpretation barrier. I should have said
the scum haven't won yet. We still can win. Also 'Sway the vote and win' means that they would have majority vote (I haven't taken into account the militia captains). I was trying to give notice that it's important to
make certain that who we lynch today is scum, as myslynching could lead to a scum win, hence MyLo. But the problem with that is, as I stated, I hadn't taken into account the Guard Captains, whose alignments we don't know.
Let me answer your question with my question in your question: Why wouldn't you?
First of all, the SK thing is explained above. Second of all, if it's a survivor, then you get cred either way. He claimed up as a survivor? Hooray, now we've a vampire (who I'm GLAD doesn't sparkle) as a survivor-wildcard!
I wouldn't IF I WAS SCUM because that forces him to come out (like he did) and proclaim his innocence to the town, and therefore having to work with us. If I was scum, and saw someone targeting townies (Ala SK) I wouldn't give out my evidence, because why the hell would I expose someone that's doing my job for me?
Now explain the personalism there. Why would, or should, I explain how it would benefit you instead of the town as a generality?
I was speaking from a scum player perspective, as per what you're saying.
Vampire Survivor seems legit to me, but Whitus, explain yourself.
...
Seriously?(I swear to god, I almost put an Unvote, vote IG here, but I caught it with my PPE since you've flipped town)
To qoute Tiruin,
DETAIL. This is seriously lack of participation on your part. 'Explain myself?' What am I explaining, except my vote and suspicion of Tiruin (Whom I'm still concerned about, but is secondary to... this)? In fact, I think you need to explain
yourself, for lack of participating in the game, and bandwagoning on me with no evidence, just hiding behind Tir. You have no basis to have me explain myself.
Tiruin: I accuse you of leading a myslynch D1 (malignity), Scum behavior, tunneling on a specific player, and refusal to scumhunt other players.
What say you in defense?-
PPE: And you miscalculated because he...was town. And not anything else?
Yeah. If I have to kill, I should use my kill for good.
WhitiusOpus: Did you fail to see that I switched my vote to Superblackcat?
Yes I did, apologies. I was in a rush, as I don't have much time on the weekends.
