Something weird did come up: Lidku's idea that you'd shoot mafia nobody else suspected. There are some reasons doing that could be an ok plan, but Lidku hasn't explained why stripping away a bulletproof vest would help if nobody was willing to go after the person with you.
Lidku: why would this be helpful?
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're trying to put across here. Using my gun is one ability within itself. It does not "consume" or "strip away" my use of my vest.
Unless you mean the "auto" in the vest tag means that 1 bullet is consumed by the shooter, and that the vest is consumed via defense for the victim; wherein another person at NIGHT also has to follow along shooting the target, within the same night...
I see it differently (and correct me if I'm wrong), the "auto" in the vest tag just means its priority is always first over either a bullet Vigilante-kill and a Mafia-Kill. Beyond that at night, you either have to choose to use your gun or use your vest, or do nothing.
Using your gun on someone strips away
their vest. Everyone has a vest, it's in the OP.
I have been acting on the assumption that the auto bit means that you use your vest automatically every night until it is consumed by being shot. This makes much more sense to me, but I'm checking it with the mod anyhow.
And also, NJW, your question further makes no sense, because Town cannot communicate during the Night. The only chance of orchestrating who to in a combined shoot-off would only be possible on a day turn.
The inherent theme of this game (from what I personally gather), is that everyone in Town can equally at least one-shot someone else; unless the person who is paranoid that they're going to get shot uses their vest, thus having a potential kill against them be negated.
So nothing about what you asked me made sense to begin with. Mind explaining where you got "why stripping away a bulletproof vest would help if nobody was willing to go after the person with you" idea from?
You'd need two people shooting to take a vest off someone and then kill them. And we only get one shot. If nobody suspected the person, you'd only have taken the vest off them.
Hence all the talk of double-tapping people.
Again, this stems from me interpreting "auto-self" as "used on yourself automatically every night", which you clearly didn't.
