**Vote ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies**

I am concerned that she’s going out without a fight. She could have claimed non-exclusive wincon and offered to work with Town, but instead she raised her middle finger and didn’t volunteer any information we could use. She could be a bomb, but I doubt it. Occam’s razor is that she hasn’t been participating much, so isn’t very invested, so now that she’s caught she might as well fuck with everyone, get lynched, and then she doesn’t have to worry about this game anymore.

My paranoid side says that she might have a wincon that is advanced if she’s lynched, or she thinks that one more kill before lynch can achieve her wincon. But I’ve learned not to trust my paranoid side.

The rules:

> [@Mafia Reunion - NIGHT ZERO](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-night-zero/776315/2):
>
> RULES AND REGULATIONS  
> \*\*Win Conditions  
> \*\*Win conditions will be checked in the following order every Dawn and every Dusk:  
> [ol]  
> [li]Town Wins! if all 14 Scum players are dead.[/li][li]Mafia Wins! if the total number of living Mafia is greater than or equal to 50% of the total population AND greater than the number of living Wolves.[/li][li]Wolves Win! if the total number of living Wolves is greater than or equal to 50% of the total population AND greater than the number of living Mafia.[/li][li]Third party win conditions are checked after checking all three of the above. Thus, a Town win supersedes an exclusive third party win even if both occur simultaneously.[/li][/ol]

It worries me that exclusive third party win conditions are mentioned. The cult claims non-exclusive, but maybe **Cookies** is exclusive. If so, a traditional SK role doesn’t seem to fit this setup, and would be almost impossible to pull off. I think her wincon isn’t to just survive and then be an exclusive winner. If she’s exclusive I think her wincon probably has an easier objective. The theories that she has a list of roles she needs to kill, or eliminating the cult, are worth considering.

That said, I think she was caught out before she had a chance to fulfill her wincon, and if she’s a Jester of some sort that’s a bastard mod game that I don’t mind losing.

I do note your heroic act of hiding in the bunker while the rest of us poke the bomb with sticks. I understand your concern that **Cookies** is a bomb, but your unvote was premature. We have days yet to figure this out, and you could have pushed the discussion of the possibility without the unvote. You seem afraid. Your self-sacrifice to expand the pool of unvotes comes off as false. Are you a town power-role [rhetorical]? If so, why draw attention to yourself? Or are you cult looking to just survive? Or scum looking for an easy excuse to back away from a perceived threat?

Ping.
