Newbie 1543: Nightmare Mafia (Scum Win)

[BlueBloodedToffee]

The best fake-claim for mafia is to claim a PR to draw out the real one.

[serrapaladin]

idk, single doc or BP isn't really worth outting. it's pretty poor play as either alignment, if much worse as VT.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Of course it is.

Why claim VT and get hammered regardless when you can claim Doc/BP/Cop whatever and draw out the real claim from town.

It's the best claim scum can make. One for one.

[serrapaladin]

he should really have waited for intent, but I guess.

[serrapaladin]

i don't actually see him doing it as town, tbf.

[wgeurts]

Hehe, yeah I'm scum and copper's the 2nd PR.
I was screwed anyway so I decided to reveal the last PR with my death.
Honestly I should of listened to my partner to play low however he's doing amazingly.

[serrapaladin]

@copper: after wg had been hammered, getting you to commit to the cc was optimal play. if he flips VT or scum, the only way you could have known is if you're doc/BP, so asking you to commit doesn't change anything. if he flips BP, you now have no way of talking your way out of it.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Honestly I should of listened to my partner to play low however he's doing amazingly.

Yeah, I'm sure he is. Nobody is suspecting him at all right? And you would totally make that point if nobody was suspecting him to make us look elsewhere, right? /sarcasm.

Serra is the final scum. He needs to be tomorrow's lynch.

[wgeurts]

GG anyway, this was my first time playing scum.

[wgeurts]

Mmm, my partner is totally serra.
Or mabye OC hehe.

[serrapaladin]

unless jagged is the other scum, you should really have waited for intent to hammer

[copper223]

gg Wgeurts, I commend you for not giving up as mafia although it looked like you were screwed on multiple occasions, that's a big mistake new players make but in that respect you did really well.

[wgeurts]

unless jagged is the other scum, you should really have waited for intent to hammer

Why?
I knew BBT could switch at any moment and I could draw out the 2nd PR.

[copper223]

I do think however my fellow townies would have managed not to lynch you today as well, without the fake claim.

[serrapaladin]

I think that's probably true.

I don't feel like going into theory, but a single doc would need 2 successful protects to give the town another day, so without other PR, it doesn't actually increase win-odds by much.

[serrapaladin]

I guess we're back to ~50% win.

The last scum is jagged or brian. Unfortunately I'm probably tomorrow's lynch.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

You're definitely tomorrow's lynch.

Why so active Serra? You've lurked pretty much all game.

[serrapaladin]

Because I'm sitting at home ill.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

At least you won't have to concentrate on this game much longer.

[serrapaladin]

That's kind.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I'm a kind person.

[serrapaladin]

Do you think maybe if I NK you, I can convince the rest of the town to let me live?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Nah, prob not.

You can't really leave the PR alive. If he is doc, he might protect me and then you'll have wasted a kill.

Sounds like a bad idea.

[serrapaladin]

Hmm, true. Thanks!

[BlueBloodedToffee]

No prob.

At least make your last kill optimal, right?

You're inevitably getting lynched tomorrow,
