I didn't think of this. It would attract a ton of attention along with it, but it would in theory validate a scum as town for being attacked. They just need to separate themselves from the mislynch. To be fair, I am sceptical about this. It seems a tad on the suicidal side if it doesn't work. Moreover, they're probably not going to live down that they tried it.Firestarter wrote:

However, I think both of you deserve the FoS - to me, this almost reeks of scum playing mind games just like Fire said, to attract an over-agressive townie, but when your plan backfired, Killa (one of your partners in crime?) came along and helped put some pressure on to allow you to back out of your self-vote. What does everyone else think?Firestarter wrote:I agree that killa's actions could be considered scummy, but thats only on the pretense that you are indeed town...

I dont see enough here to warrant a Fos to either you or Killa here....
That's exactly what I'm saying, and exactly what he said - he said he was only voting for himself in order to "get the scum to come out" - it's poor play to lie unless you're mafia - when you're town the best weapon you have is the truth, so the biggest question on my mind is why pull a stunt like this as town, it serves no benefit. Pulling it as mafia seems to make a lot more sense, as it can pretty much be a win-win - you either get the suspicion thrown off yourself early with the move (as mafia, this would keep you safer from an early lynch) OR you get the suspicion thrown on someone else who comes after you. Either way, it just seems like a bad idea to be lying like that.armlx wrote:Meh, this isn't really a LAL scenario unless you think he is lying about his self vote being a trap. Which I sorta do.I'm with Armlx on this one, and to quote the old addage - LAL.
