Why not kill jo is the big question. I totally buy multiple 1-shot Vigs.
And I agree if we let DSell live, we need to assign him a target and lynch him if that person doesn't die. That way if DSell is mafia, the town controls the mafia's kill tonight.
CF seems the best choice to me, merely based on POE.
These posts aren't too far apart.
@RobZ - killing DSell is less "risky" than letting him live - but only because the worst case scenario is that he's telling the truth - but then everything else goes wrong. (We mislynch someone else, DSell kills an innocent, Mafia Night Kills, Serial Killer Night Kills (and hits town)
The worst case on killing him is:
- Falselynch DSell, Serial Killer Kill on town, Mafia NK on town.
Now, on the flip side - we can also potentially win straight out letting DSell live:
Lynch Mafia, Mafia NK's serial killer, DSell Shoots mafia.
How do we validate DSell's claim? Lets say he claims to shoot someone - like me.
Tomorrow - the rest of you wake up, and SFS and I are both dead (town). This doesn't actually clear DSell. He could actually still be a serial killer.
There is also the problem of the announcing of target:
- If he is truthful - and announces - mafia / SK can elect to No kill / target the same person to make DSell look like a liar - and incite us to lynch him tomorrow.
- If he doesn't announce - then he doesn't prove anything - because he can then react to the result of the night kills and tailor his claim appropriately. Let's say hypothetically that tomorrow only 1 person dies. Dsell can claim his target was blocked - drawing out a role claim. Sure - DSell will get killed for lying, but he was going to die today anyway - and he got an extra day of life and a roleclaim out of it.
Is this Wine in Front of Me? It's too early to drink it.
I'm on board with a DSell lynch or an Axxle / Jo lynch / kill combo, but I have to say that I'm nervous on both. How do I get down from this fence?
