What do you think the Mafia will do when I start publicly naming them during the night? You think, maybe, they might switch their hits to me? If I don't name them, they can't be sure I actually figured out their identities, and they won't waste some of their hits on a mere Townsman on the off chance I might know who some of them are.
1. They might use your arrogance against you and have you lynched, that is supposing that they have not already put a hit against you.
2. If a towns person died, that is better than a Detective, Bulletproof and Doctor getting killed. So actually, you dying is intuitive. By revealing your role as a towns person brazenly, all you have done is made it easier in this game of whack-a-mole.
3. By keeping your information private and not sharing it with the town you are simply holding the town back from drawing any legitimate conclusions. Unless of course, you plan to continue playing regardless of whether or not you die.
Now, taking the risks into account, what benefits are there? What would you do with that information? What benefit will it serve anyone before voting starts? Oh right, there is none. The only person who could do anything with the name of a Mafia is the Vigilante, and I'd be more than happy to tell him via PM.
1. This entire game is about behavioural analysis, if the mafia are not forced in to a corner, how will they ever crack?
2. How can you possibly aim to monitor the analysis of mafia when all you are interested in is capturing townsmen. It is all good and well that you believe you are some elite townsperson, but your arrogance has lead you to the conclusion that I am Mafia, which is wrong.
What negative aspects are involved with keeping the information private until the day starts? None, because I passed the information to two confirmed secondary hubs.
1. What if those two confirmed hubs died tonight along with you?
2. What if those two confirmed hubs are mafia?
3. What if one of those two confirmed hubs are mafia and they know your play?
Your arrogance is making you try to out people within the town of their role and disclose it to people that you trust, but others may not necessarily trust.
Basically, what I'm doing is the most strategically viable approach, and what you're suggesting would be nothing but detrimental to the Town.
Then again, this is the level of play I'd expect from someone who'd claim a power role publicly less than a minute after getting their role PM.
1. You have demonstrated little strategy more than asking everyone to PM you a screenshot and if they do not, then they must be mafia.
2. I am suggesting that people be intelligent and think for themselves. In the famous words of Tony Stark
"an intelligence organization that fears intelligence, statistically not cool"
3. Your entire claim to fame is that you did not have enough time to edit a pictorial post. That the time on your clock was too close to the time of your post, therefore it would not be possible to do it. If I recall, the time of your screenshot was 10:24 and the time of your post was 10:25. That in theory gave you up to 118 seconds to edit a photo and upload it. It is entirely logical that a person that knows what they are doing could do something as simple as editing a post with all the right tools set up, could do that in that time.
Furthermore, that is also claiming that you could not simply take a screenshot of your post, spend 20 minutes editing it, then take another screenshot to change the windows clock in the bottom right and then post. Quite frankly, the only evidence that I have seen from you that is even remotely plausible is the video evidence, and even then video editing is possible so forgive me for taking it with a pinch of salt.
I find a lot of what you've said quite rude and offensive, but that's Mafia for you.
Sit back and watch kiddo, maybe you'll learn a thing or two.
What exactly have I said to be offensive to you? I do not believe that I have been rude, I simply challenged your lack of logic and claim of omnipotence because of a few screenshots that may or may not have been sent to you and may or may not have been valid.
ADDITIONALLYYou said you did not call me mafia, yet here you are:
Two people have claimed Detective. One of them provided a screenshot.
The other one said "No, I'm not giving a screenshot or copying the text from my role PM, just believe me." Upon being informed of the role conflict, he said "I don't care if someone else claimed it, they are probably lying or something. I'm not giving anyone any proof of my role."
This person is InsolubleFluff.
Doctors, don't waste protection on him. The Vigilante will hopefully deal with him.
Either he or the other person is Mafia, putting him at 50% odds of being scum, not even considering his behavior.
You highlighted my name in red to indicate that I was mafia, not only that but you also made up those quotes, that is not what I said and we both know that is true. Whilst indeed your fabricated quotes are upon the same tangent of what I said, they are not quotation of anything I have said and you are drawing attention towards me under false intelligence.
None.
