Claiming SK

I've heard that in a couple of games people have claimed SK weren't lynched by the town because of it. How is this possible?

Example:

5 players left -- 2 town, 2 mafia, 1 SK

Lynching the SK means the town loses the numbers game outright. In that situation, mafia MUST go down for the town to have a chance, and the remaining SK and mafia will be faced with a dilemma of whether to target each other and hope that the other kills a townie....whatever.

Bottom line is that there are times when it's better to pick apart a scum group rather than to go for the loner.

There's also the situation of 2 town, 2 mafia A, 1 mafia B.

See DP11: I almost pulled it off, and I was mafia A claiming mafia B. My stupidity in not reading some specifics correctly lost the game though. Grr... I still agonize over that one.

I claimed Mafia/Werewolf twice at jeepfest. Initial setup for both was 3 Mafia, 3 Werewolves, 4 Docs (the second time was a variation where the docs had a one shot kill). Both times my team got behind, and people turned toward me. First game ended in a draw with Mackay and I shooting each other, second was the infamous "herb is a doc!" game. I really ought to write that one up on the wiki sometime.

On the last day in Mini 211 both LML (falsely - he ewas mafia) and Fritzler (who was the SK) claimed SK. The town (with the help of LML's buddies) lynched Fritzler and thus handed the game to the mafia.

^ That was sad. Lucresia.

That was sad, although my fault, for claiming for there to be a day mechanism allowing me to switch sides.

I was mafia in a similar situation and was perceived to be a serial killer and not lynched for it. We lynched the real SK...fun way to win.

Hey, I've done that also (although that was in Mini 188 where all-in made lynching weird).
