I was referring to weeks ago when I told him he was going to die and he got all huffy about it. Since he never responded to my gloats back then, I'm reinforcing it now.
Anyway, no, I have no idea what the double lynch rule is but if you're talking about how if it's a tie and both people voted will die, there's no way this will work here.
Because with 4 people, it would go like this:
I vote for R1ck, Toonyman votes for Mr. Person.
R1ck has a choice whether to vote for Mr. Person or someone else. Vice versa for Mr. Person. If R1ck votes for Mr. Person, Mr. Person would obviously vote for R1ck and vice versa. This would mean both would die. Good right? But why the hell would the dopp do such a thing? He can guess these results just as well as I can. So obviously he won't vote for the opposing reporter.
What's he left with? Either vote for Toonyman or myself. This is a valid strategy. If he does so, there's no way we can tie anything because:
1. Maybe he's the real reporter and he wants to live. In which case if we mob him, we're screwed.
2. It would be an unpredictable result if either Toonyman or I change our votes, which really just means it's unpredictable whether we're going to win or not unlike right now, where it is a certainty.
So the townie's best response is to stay our votes and the other reporter would have to vote for either myself or Toonyman who wasn't voted for. Which results in an overall, 4-way tie which makes no sense, and the game would continue.
So, you must be thinking that the real reporter's best bet right now would be to vote for the other reporter since it would guarantee us a victory right? No. If he did so, we'd revert back to that stupid mess and the 4 way tie. Here's how the analysis would play:
If the dopp did that, he would be committing suicide as the real reporter's best choice would be to vote for him and though they die together, town as a whole wins. So he's obviously not going to do that. If the real reporter did that, than as we can see, the dopp is not going to vote for the reporter and he'll vote for either TM or myself. Which results to the above.
But you ask, what if the reporter voted for the dopp and the dopp chooses to vote for TM or myself? That's retarded. For all we know, the dopp could have voted for the reporter as a last ditch effort and we would have killed the real reporter and we would lose the game (dopp kills one of last two townies). So if anyone votes for anyone else, WE MUST MAINTAIN THE TIE, because the fact of the matter is we will lose if we guess wrongly.
If it wasn't obvious, there's no tie kill when there's only 3 players.
Tl/dr: if we don't maintain the tie right now, we will lose, simply because there's too much erronous information to make a valid guess. As long as we maintain the tie, townies will win, because of the previous analysis. We can maintain the tie just by voting to maintain the tie, in whatever way it works. I don't know about you, but I prefer CERTAIN victory over PROBABLE victory.
Edit: if you were talking about something else, feel free to point it out from beyond the grave or something. I'm guessing you meant the 1v1 standoff thing and both of them would die? If that was a rule in the game, it would certainly make things easier. I've been assuming, since this is my first game and screw it if I'm gonna read that long wall of erronous text on the first page, that for a vote to hold true, you need at least two votes simply because Meph stated if there's 1 townie and 1 dopp, dopp wins. If 1v1 could work, then it would be a draw. But it's not, which lead me to my conclusion.
