You've dodged the question, once again.DTMaster wrote:Except it's not Aikage being "pro-survival". He's doing the opposite. In this case for scum-Aikage he's more inclined to claim to survive. In town Aikage, he's risking lynch which is death) at the moment with his reluctance to claim. I'm not debating on why Aikage should claim to survive, I'm showing you that it's how Aikage handled this claim that makes me read it as a newb risk all situation.
A good case (if I can pull it out I'll find it in Nikanor's wiki) was MrSuave in one of Nikanor's game. He claimed a role that would would get him killed N1 if he chose to claim. As a newb player, he got himself lynched because he was anti-town all game. He flippedDoctor. He was at L-1 and claimed that he would die if he claimed (or close to it). If you do that in hindsight you see that MrSuave was hinting at that all game, even though he's being anti-town. He deserved the lynch, but at the same time if you ask yourself the question:
What's the motive in claiming that? It's just easier to claim Doc as scum/town so why be that round about it?
I believe the direction could have become more constructive.
If I apply the newb argument to Aikage (seen by his date of joining the website) it parallels a newb player with an awesome role being anti-town. I'm not missing the point.
He claims that knowing his role would explain his motives, yet he refuses to claim. It's not even close to the example you gave.
Maybe VOTE: DTMaster will make you give a clean-cut answer.
Bus your scumbuddy already.
