Ethics: Type-2 Metagaming

[Mr. Flay]

I have to incline towards Yosarian, though certainly not as far as Fiasco. Lying can *very rarely* benefit you as town, and good scum shouldn't have to do much lying to get by.

...it should not be treated as a completly 100% hard and fast rule, in my opinion. Nothing should, mafia is too complex for that.

Quoted for Truthism.

There is no such animal as a liar who appears protown.

Doctor with a scum bandwagon on him.

mathcam FTW. Lynch-all-liars is unnecessarily dogmatic, and allows players to assume that someone who tells the truth is more likely to be pro-town than someone who lies for metagame reasons. I've used this to my advantage on a number of cases, as scum; I lie as little as possible, and yet still am scum. It makes it infinitely easier to keep your lies straight, as my daddy taught me.
