Mafia Reunion: Day Eleven

One more thing, Texcat:

Why are you concerned about giving information to Mafia at this point? They’re all that’s left. They now know the alignment of every player in the game. From their perspective, what’s the difference between a VT, the patsy, and the remaining two power roles?

The only reason for the patsy to not claim at this point is if you would advocate that the patsy should allow themselves to be lynched so that they can use their power. That would be horrendously anti-town because it would, if they blew up a VT with the vengeance kill, result in us losing the game the next Day, as Mafia+Cult would outnumber all remaining town.

I think you’re continuing to advocate that the patsy not claim because you don’t want the scum pool to shrink. I also think you’re continuing to advocate that the patsy not claim because you’re hoping that the patsy will let themselves get lynched and potentially kill another townie. I think you see “no point” in claiming VT because you see no point in providing information to town.

So I’ll start here.

Johnny, look, I agree with you!

If the patsy would claim at this point, that would be great. Using your power isn’t too great an idea at this point - generally, we will get a small consensus on who is acting / being scummy at this point in the game, so even though your odds of hitting a mafia may be around 50% or so (let me look back at the math), I do believe at this point we can do better than that with a vote. Losing another townie to a patsy kill can only improve things for the mafia at this point.
