True. But, Persus' role had a benefit to secrecy. Yours didn't. And when I wanted something from Persus, they answered without hesitation, and goddamn if I can't respect that attitude.
That doesn't compute. Just this game Caz showed the value of the Detective role, if I was a town Detective tomorrow I'd feel I'd want prevent the scum from knowing it, or I'm toast and can't role debunk, like again, Caz did.
Hesitation?
Lucky, I see your question, but I would like to postpone answering at this moment. Is that alright with you? Technically, you could ask me to do anything, and I'd be forced to, but if you could extend some trust to me, I'm going try to bring the number of suspects down to 2, if possible. It just requires the remainder to claim.
The very next post was me.
That sounds interesting. I'll claim as Investigator. I guess I'd have liked to have claimed after the others that haven't yet did so. But I am pro this plan(and wouldn't be able to explain not claiming without implying). If Owl dies I'd like to be protected unless someone has something better. If webadict is Mafia then this stunt should atleast be fun to watch.
In 30 minutes I answered 2 role claims without hesitation.
Shit. If you're mafia I feel like you are working something fancy. Especially because you got me to reveal that on Night 1, I discovered TricMagic is a bodyguard.
"and goddamn if I can't respect that attitude."
But Caz had already shown themselves. An extra Detective doesn't make you a bigger threat, it makes you extraneous. Caz was 99.999999% proven Town. Like, there was nothing you could provide that Caz couldn't already do. In fact, Caz's existence forced you to claim truthfully.
You can't surprise someone after that.
Hesitation meaning they explained that they did not want to claim. What that means is that there was a reason they didn't claim, and since we weren't at fullclaim mode, there wasn't a reason to push it on D2. Pursuing that would've been rolefishing, and therefore unnecessary.
The issue I think you have an issue with is that Persus13 got away with it, and you didn't. But Persus13 did it on D2. You did it on D3. There was no longer a reason to hold back. We literally had one Doppelganger left, which meant you fullclaim.
I pushed you because you could either reveal the liar, or you could explain why there was no nightkill. That was precisely why I wished to claim last. It meant I had the burden of proof to show why there was no Nightkill. Because you refused to claim N2, you left open the possibility that you did the kill. It was a bizarre play on your part if you were Town.
Like, it was so scummy that I basically forced the lynch. When you finally got forced to reveal, your action was inspecting the claimed Detective that was almost 100% proven. It made no sense. Like, I cannot stress enough to you that your actions were insane at best, and brazenly scummy at worst. If you were Town, what you did was a huge liability. It made you such an easy target. And you wanted to bring that into the next Day.
I want to stress that again. What value did your actions bring the Town? You did not find scum. You did not claim when needed. You tried desperately to stay alive.
You did everything wrong on Day 3, except one thing. You didn't give up. You were stubborn, and that could win you the game against a town without the will to fight it.
The next time you get in that situation, your whole plan needs to be to find someone scummier than you, and you don't do that by making yourself look like five scumteams at once. When I said find the last Doppelganger, I meant it. You had a way out, and it was to press TricMagic, Persus13, or I and find the cracks in our cases and expose them. You also had to defend your decisions up to that point.
The long and short of it is that Day 1 is not Day 2 is not Day 3. Luckyowl is right. You were a passive observer and seemed unwilling to suspect anyone hard. I didn't like it, and it was part of why I initially suspected you Day 3. Your actions on Day 3 cemented my decision to want to lynch you. If you had proven you were an asset to the Town, the Town would defend you. At the end, you still chose to be passive. Passivity doesn't win games.
You used random chance to try to outwit the game. And true, that makes scum's actions hard to read. But, if you want to get better, make decisions yourself. Leave the randomness at the door.
TL;DR: Take action.
