- you were never town locked to start and you justifying yourself that you are town locked is inherently scummy considering the flip
- you clearly baited a new person that didn’t know what they were doing. You were the first to suggest that there was some type of 3p in the game to cause him to fake out
ill start with point 2: for this point, you have to buy that I was suggesting the possibility of survivor with the purpose of getting him to claim it… which he could’ve easily avoided by reading his PM properly. So the idea that I was banking something like that is ridiculous.
My whole idea there was that he might pull a waterphoenix and tell us what faction he was, not knowing how to play the game. So I actually hinging on him actually reading the PM (the one he confirmed to Mikal!) and understanding what his affiliation is… something that should be a given with everyone who plays this game.
Even noobs understand which affiliation they roll… the waterphoenix case proves they are often naive as to how to play said affiliation, sometimes to a hilarious extreme.
I expected Icon to be naive, not completely retarded.
it was a genuine effort at scumhunting, and when he claimed survivor, I felt like I had outed the survivor. Quite a feel people did, otherwise he wouldn’t have been lynched. This was genuine effort at scumhunting from me. Point 1, the flip, is his own fault for being so incompetent that he claimed survivor as town… all he had to do was read “you win with the town.”
Please consider the fact that if I’m scum, I’m not even trying a trick like this, especially not to out a survivor that I could be teaming up with later. The second I felt he was survivor, I would have masoned him and tried to keep him alive, rather than out the possibility of him being survivor.
assuming 8v2+1:
if survivor is lynched DP1:
DP1: survivor lynch + NK
7v2
DP2: mislynch + NK
5v2
DP3: mislynch + NK
3v2
DP4: mislynch, mafia wins
when teaming with the survivor:
DP1: mislynch + NK
6v2+1
DP2: mislynch + NK
4v2+1
DP3: mislynch
even if the NK fails, it’s a 3v2+1 and scum can team with the survivor. Scum wins.
… which why scum has such a high incentive to team with the survivor. The longer the game lasts, the more chances town has to confirm themselves and pinch mafia in a PoE squeeze.
And that’s why I’m lock town.
