I posted 5 minutes later than your correction. I didn't see it until I hit reply and then saw there were new posts. That's why right away I changed the question.
I'd like to see where I've already twisted something for you to go ahead and say I'm doing it again...
true... but look at the game... nearly 1/3 of the posts are me having to defend myself for something i see as obvious. it's really distracting from anything useful, actually.
if you can't see it, i can't point it out to you right now. sorry, i've got a crying infant to tend to.
It's not a bad strategy, in theory, from the point of the individual. You know you are innocent and the other person has a much better chance of being scum. Whether you suspect them or not it makes more sense in a numbers game to save someone that, in your mind, is a confirmed innocent over an unknown.
The problem is that 1) you have no idea if the other person is a PR, which is worse 2) the town has no idea if you are innocent and thus it could be a nice excuse for scum to use...
You don't know if you would of won the coin toss or not there was a 50/50 chance you would not of been lynched. To me, unless you really think the other person is scum, it is scummy to move to them...yes, if you loose you are lynched and the town learns your role, but they can also learn from your lynch. If you save yourself, just to save yourself we are left with nothing to learn except you may of saved yourself because you are evil and wanted a innocent gone. Of course this is the way I see it, and pretty much use to be the way others saw it too nowadays, it seems self preservation outweighs everything though, so others may not see it the same. Had you not moved and 2H had come up with the lynch still and shown innocent, there would be little question in my mind on what your role is (innocent) because I highly doubt a evil will let them self go down like that.
People go both ways on this, some will always save themselves, some will take the fall if innocent, not a sure tell of anything but definitely worth looking at, especially if other things do not add up.
thanks!!!!
This is the sum of AAF's posts. Pretty much all fluff except one attempt to question me.
Yes, I understand the point from the individual's view...I get that. And yes this is a numbers game, but in saving yourself (when innocent)...it leaves so much doubt and questions of your actual motive behind it, in others minds that you very well may of brought on your own death sentence and in turn ended up with the town taking out 2 innocents (the one you saved yourself from , then yourself) so it isn't so helpful.
