Mafia Suicide

[IH]

Should it be allowed for the mafia to nightkill themselves?

Say you have a goon and a blocker. For strategic purposes, would it be allowed for the goon to kill himself, and the blocker to go on?

I'm curious after some setups I saw when playing in IRC.

No. This is a different question.

Should a scum be allowed to nightkill him/herself, and the other person also be able to use their role? (Such as one is literally comitting suicide, while the other blocks?)

[Trojan Horse]

I don't see why not. Unless of course, you're banning scum from killing scummates in general (which I don't think should be done).

Perhaps you should tell us about the game that inspired the question. What happened? Did Mafia A shoot himself, and Mafia B block Mafia A's suicide, or something like that?

I usually specify that people can only kill another player in the role PM to begin with, so it's usually a non-issue. If they want to kill a fellow scum, I'm going to be asking for some strategic reasoning to make sure it has a game-based reason and that the target is happy with it.

[IH]

No they'd have to kill themselves....

I REPEAT, NOT KILLING SCUM MATE. GOON WOULD KILL THEMSELF, ROLEBLOCKER WOULD BLOCK.

I am asking if Suicide would be allowed. It couldn't be a modkill, as that would ruin the strategy.

I don't think I would unless they had a really good reason for it, and we're talking exceptional reasons here. Most likely losing a scummate is going to hurt too much to be made up for by whatever wacko strategy they're trying to further.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the point of that, IH?

[IH]

Allow the scum to block while looking like they're a vig by proving they killed a scum.

I think maybe it would make sense for the mafia to try to kill themselves in order to out a protective role, maybe, but I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say. The blocker continues with the game but can't kill at night?

tbh, I would have the goon kill himself and then...wait, nvm. Not going to reveal my awesome strategy to win mafia games every time =P.
