Huh. That's an excellent point.In post 1217, Titus wrote:If you have a guilty, and are forced to claim it, it's likely your last result.
I guess if there's a doctor around, he can keep you alive; but just looking at the newbie grid setup, I see that doctor+cop is balanced by the Mafia roleblocker, who can also assure that the cop gets no more useful results, even if he's protected by the Doctor...
So, on the one hand, if you get a guilty you pretty much have to either announce it during the day, or get your target lynched; because if scum kill you on the following night, then no-one will know about your guilty, and you'll be left feeling very silly post-game. But it makes a lot of sense to try to build up a wagon on your guilty
before
- or, preferably, without
- announcing the actual guilty, so you can hopefully get another, later. And, at the same time, finding any scum at all allows the rest of Town to skim back through his posts, and find out who he's treating as scumbuddies, and who he's not treating as scumbuddies....something which, of course, Town actually needs to go and do.
