I was hoping other people would have been posting by now so we could come up with another strong vampire suspect in the thread.
This I don't get btw - what do you mean he can prove it ?
I bolded 'but I can force the issue...through with it'...Kash...seriously - just please say whatever you mean outright. Coded/veiled threats to JL are pretty unhelpful at this point.
Sorry, Coler. I wasn't meaning to be coded or veiled. I'd already said what that idea was but is a crummy way to play this if I take it upon myself to do it.
What I decided to do instead was turn it around on JohnLarson to call his bluff.
It's a last resort.
A player can leave the game by choice and Ice has to reveal their role whether he wants to or not. It's a technicality.. using the rules. Not how we're supposed to play, which Ogre pointed out right away.. vehemently. It's the same thing as not voting would lead to a UD... just works faster.
If John is innocent as he wants us to believe, he can take himself out of the game right now and "prove it" without waiting for us to lynch him first at nightfall just to find out. If truly innocent, it's a trade-off costing 1 innocent life.... but it would prove this: That Wycco and Kashta are both lying, that John's not a vampire, and the town would lynch either Wycco or Kashta instead of him. In reality, he's not going to do that because he is a vampire and can't let his role be exposed.
It's the same way for me. Again as a last resort, I can do the same thing to reveal my role (if necessary) to prove Wycco is telling the truth. As a player, I'm not going to do this on my own because it's not fair for me or any one player to decide this unilaterally. But if the town agrees to it by a large enough majority (to overcome the fact that the vampire team needs to prevent it) the town could ask me to do it. If the town needs to know my role badly enough they agree to sacrifice 1 life to verify my role, I would do it. Bottom line is I don't care if I live or die as long as the town wins.
The only way the town can win is to systematically kill people off one person at a time. We're already doing by lynching/staking someone every nightfall. So really, it's just the same thing if it's a majority decision. The benefit would be to expose the roles.. expose the lies.. and lynch another vampire (hopefully) before another villager gets turned.
