As convincing as my claim was, I don't think it helped us at all. I did stymie the mafia once, where I would have been killed if I had claimed honest, but otherwise we would have won if I had told the truth. It was LML's amazing mafia-hunting that won the game.
For night choices, I went:
Night two: Rubric, because I actually believed he was telling the truth. I got suspicious when he wasn't attacked that night
Night three: d_rouge, figuring mafia would go after the confirmed townie
Night four: mepmuff, for this reason I wrote to dybeck:
So, if LML had turned out to be a sleeping SK, or d_rouge some sort of weird back-up godfather, maybe lying would have saved the day. Otherwise, I'm just lucky that brushhopper wasn't a real vigilante.I'll protect mepmuff tonight. If BH is scum, he might go after d_rouge instead, but he's 99% screwed anyway. If d_rouge or LML is scum, however, then when mepmuff investigates BH he'll find BH is innocent, and our attention will turn to the other two (and to me, although I can explain last night in my claim). Or, it would, if he survived the night. By killing mepmuff, they'd get an extra day, which would give them a chance to win. If there's an SK who's been hiding all along, he would attack mepmuff, suspecting him to be a cop or scum. Staying hidden any longer is suicidal. Either way, he's 99% screwed. If mepmuff is a mafioso, well, he pretty much deserves to win.
