It's poor (town) play because if you didn't act so questionable early on, we might not be questioning your claim so much now and might more easily be able to identify the liar (not you in this hypothetical).
well that is the obvious argument. And based on how everyone reacts, you seem to be right. I didn't expect this kind of response at all though. If I was in this game, someone else had claimed VT day 1, and then he came out and said that he really had a PR in day 3, do you think my reaction would be "you lied, now I don't believe you anymore?"
No. I'd think it's good play, I'd remember it, and if he ever does it again in another game, I'd be super suspicious. The "you lied, I don't believe you" mentality just seems immature to me, and completely unreasonable given that we are playing a game that's
all about lying.
So, it's very obvious that I completely misjudged how other people would react. Well, I'm generally different from a lot of people, it's not uncommon that a lot of people consider something to be a certain way, and I just think that's very stupid. I could give you countless RL examples for that.
And really, if you could also argue that if you're not trusting me because I lied day 1 and that causes us to lose the game, that's really your fault, not mine.
