I do feel that a1s should have doctor claimed/counterclaimed earlier, because it was largely the fact no one else counter claimed, or hinted that they were doctor that made me unsure.
What, no. That's the last thing a1s should have done. That just gets you killed in the night. Some better play or attempt at defense might have been nice, but keeping quiet about being the doctor was the right thing to do, or otherwise my whole plan would've gone to waste. Which, well, it did, but at least that's on me instead.
No, while this obviously looks bad for me, at least give me the credit for having
clearly explained the motivation for fakeclaiming. The situation that applies here is the third one: I'm a vanilla townie and my goal was to be just wifom enough to get the nightkill, and maybe be protected if I was lucky. Yes, I know, I ended up overshooting my audience and sucking all the air out of d1, but, at the very least, you can't blame me for getting the doctor lynched when I had no way of knowing (whether as town OR mafia!) and several other players, including
you, also thought a1s was suspicious.
Instead, I just managed to make myself the obvious choice for a d2 mislynch to end the game. Figures. But that part is my fault.
Well Maximum Spin, I gave you a chance and that was almost certainly a blunder. But go ahead and use your chance. Maybe you could explain yourself? Like, one of the things you said was that you hadn't made any jokes? So when you said that you knew who all of the town players are, that was serious? And that insane doctor claim was somehow not an evil plot? I'm all ears.
I didn't make any jokes. Everything I said was for a reason. That doesn't mean it was true. Obviously I didn't know everyone's roles and there weren't any GM errors this time as far as I know. I said I didn't make any jokes, though, because nothing I said was just to be funny. Everything was part of the gambit. The point of the silly, obviously fake parts of the claim were there to bolster the doctor claim by making the mafia wonder if it's all a joke or some parts are true.
Surely you cannot possibly think that the doctor claim would be an evil plot. There's no way I draw that much attention as mafia. I mean, you look what it almost got me d1 and what it's currently getting me now... do you think I'm that bad at this game? Okay, maybe after my performance this time that's a bad question, but still.
Honestly, I reread the game earlier and I do have a theory now. I'm not sure anyone will listen to me, and I don't blame you. But I sure did notice that TCk and Quarque looked awfully buddy-buddy. Notably, now that I know that both me and a1s were town, either lynch option should have been okay to them... especially at the point where it already looked like I'd be an easy d2 target.
