Ethics of conceding

as cynical as this sounds, never underestimate the ability of players to fuck up a perfectly good autowin

also complain to the list mod that the mod of the game you're playing is a terrible mod whose setup design is so poor autowin strategies like follow the cop are possible

Flipped townies lie all the time

I actually think not conceding is more respectful, it shows you have the fighting spirit and respect for your opponent to try your best to claw a victory out of nothing

Fair enough. Didn't think of that.

I did this once in a newbie game where I was the IC - got criticized for trolling instead of teaching newbies how to play properly... but I was ;_;

Eh, the uncaught scum was the SE, and he did fine on his own. I did try to be objective in providing IC advice and theory, even when trolling.

In post 78, Dragonfire wrote:I was just reading a newbie game where on 5p LyLo, one scum gambled the game by claiming BP to support his fellow scum's Tracker claim against the town Cop (who had a guilty on the scum claiming Tracker). He obviously decided that it was more beneficial to risk everything then and there, and hopefully win that day, than lynch his teammate and hope to win a 3p LyLo with one confirmed townie. He lost the gamble, as his fellow scum was lynched. Since he was 100% confirmed scum and admitted it then and there, why shouldn't he just concede the game, since there would be no point in dragging it on at that stage.

I was actually in this scenario, only I CCed the cop and my teammate decided to go ham and CC the doc. We lost, badly >.< Which was especially irritating since we definitely could have won the 3P (the cop wanted to lynch the last, unCCed, guy).
