You're Mafia, being randomly bandwagoned the first day, and you have to claim a role in order to avoid being lynched. What role do you claim, and why?

well, i've never been in this situation, but i suppose it would be safest to claim doc.
all you have to do is say you protected someone who is still alive. if you happen to have protected someone who you know you targetted-and they didn't die, then, if the person eventually dies- it will show that they weren't a gf and must have been protected. and also, the other doc won't doubt your story either(or at least too much) because how could they know for certain. also, if you are gf, then you can say, since i cam out, i need the other doc to protect me tonight, and thus you can justify your not dying at night.
i guess it would have to be different in each game, but faced with a situation where i must lie- which i really don't want to do and haven't yet- i think tha tthis would be the best way to go. i suppose if i gave this more thought i would find many flaws in my thinking- but right now- doc seems to be the best way to go.

As with anything else, go for mixed strategies. There is no 'right' answer. Although the serial killer is probably not a very good idea....

This is one of the most game-dependant questions, ever. There's no absolute answer. (Didn't vote either)

I would just admit to being mafia and shake the hands of all the people voting for me.

I've been in this situation. Innocent and guilty. I say nothing and defuse the bandwagon in other ways. The only time I need to make up a role is in later rounds or if a cop fingers me.

I would at first claim to be a townie, but as said before, it is so incredibly game dependant that it's hard to tell in advance....

I'd say nothing. It seems weird to me to claim a role, other than saying you're not mafia. But I'm not sure. I've only once been bandwagoned (and died, though I was innocent), and not ever been mafia. So I've never needed to do any claiming, and I really don't know what I'd do.

DP tell that to mith in Electoral Mafia! ;) And there was another situation like that mentioned too, so i would be thinking of claiming SK...

Otoh, if it's a themed game i have much more chances with a made-up role.

Therefore i would've voted twice! :)

Cop seems to be the best choice since I can gain support by clearing innocent people and maybe get Doc support making it easier for me to kill others.

Claim Caterer. You can pass on some bad info, and you're still credible.
