@Max If you were actually a town why would you want to let yourself be lynched? How does you getting lynched help more than someone else getting lynched?
It would be better to lynch scum, but at least lynching me can lead to a town victory if people become more right and less wrong after seeing they were wrong about me.
On the contrary, if I were scum, why would I want to let myself be lynched? Town is almost always more willing to be lynched than scum. There are exceptions, but generally, there are plenty of town and one player isn't worth as much as everyone else being more informed.
Now, you'll never ever see me espousing this view normally, because I join mafia games to play mafia, not to play one round of mafia and then sit and wait. I
hate dying early, and, well, me having fun is more important to me than winning. That's part of why ToonyMan calls me selfish as town. But this specific game is different because of the mechanics. And also I don't really want to have to submit a list.
I've been on the other side of this, seeing people get distracted by someone and realizing that town just needed to get the lynch out of its system so it could see clearly. Last remember this happening in Paranormal, when Jack just went nuts and had to kill Knightwing.
If it's gonna be my turn on the chopping block, at least it's a game where I lose nothing.
I guess that's fair but I don't think you getting lynched would really help the town as much as ya think it would it feels like a misplay to me in this specific game.
Oh sure. I'm not convinced it IS my turn on the chopping block. That's why I'm asking people.
