Firstly, I assume you mean as a townie, because scum try not to die anyway.

If I'm in a game that I'm finding really fun, I'll sometimes draw a bit of attention to myself, then fight tooth and nail to not get lynch.

The entertaining part is the next day when everyone says "Oh...he WAS town." Then is in LyLo or acid or something.

No. And I suspect you bought yourself an entry in the "worst town play" thread once a certain game (in which you are dead and declared town) is over :(

Oman, I bet you're not being attacked for being active. I bet you're attacked for either moving your vote alot, or for trying to attack someone for not being as active as you.

If by acting selfishly you mean hurting your own side merely to stay in the game for another game day? Seems like that would make the whole game less fun. I play to survive as almost any role but when my time to die has come I accept it.

How do you decide whether you need them or not ?

What if you're a doctor, and you can self-protect ? Would you act selfish ?

1) the prescription i have is a larger dose of ibuprofen -- i had my wisdom teeth removed on friday, and they're still causing me some discomfort. if my mouth ever felt really painful at work today, i would have taken one to relieve the pain.

2) most likely. however, if there was a confirmed cop on the prowl, i'd be nice to the town.

Damn right you would defend yourself, you're the one confirmed townie. I'd claim and protect myself constantly from then on.

Nah, as a self-protectable doctor, playing WIFOM with the Mafia is one of my favorite parts of the game.

I find it more fun to be on the verge of getting lynched. Oh the thrill!

It's quite an exciting thing.

This question isn't valid for me, as my survival is always the best thing for my team.

I only really enjoy endgames anyway. I mean they're the only point where the games is actually won and anything up to that is mostly pointless, right?
