my question is, how is asking the vig to hit zaffy misdirecting the shot? He was named scum by Rich. You remember him? The confirmed detective?
The mafia could kill the vigilante before he/she kills Zaffy. If we've gone ahead to lynch someone else -- anyone else -- instead, then that gives then two more game days instead of only one game day for someone else to become or be made into a "prime" suspect to draw the lynch later on.
Two reasons:
1. Believe me, as often as I have been the overall town's intended "next lynch" ... for conclusive reasons when I was evil...
I've still successfully managed to stay alive by getting the town to delay lynching me "just one more day."
You know this, Wizard..... as often as I've talked about it. Don't even try to pretend you don't. I know better.
2. Our lynch is our only
guaranteed way of killing Zaffy, but only as long as the scum team doesn't mess with it. The vigilante's shot is a maybe. Whether it's probably or not... it's only a maybe.
If the mafia thinks they've got a good idea who our vigilante is... and we rely on them to kill Zaffy for us... then we're screwed if the mafia hit kills the vigilante and we let Zaffy off the hook too.
Keep arguing the case, guys.... it only shows you trying to confuse the vigilante or the town.
