Why would I make up a second lie that actually draws attention to **HookerChemical**??? No, no, no, no, no. I took notes while I was moderating my Trouble in Paradise game and I noticed you making the same kinds of arguments there. Observe the following, all from a single post. > [@Trouble in Paradise (Mafia Game Thread)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trouble-in-paradise-mafia-game-thread/735585/754): > > If I am Scum, why did I try and throw my fellow wolf under the bus on the first Day? > … > None of us knew there was a vigilante.

The answer is the same then as it is now: “because wolf players are clever and they have information that nobody else does.” Please note that I’m not trying to use a metastrategy against you, Biotop. You’ve only played a few games and you haven’t developed a personal meta yet. I’m bringing it up because I had this same thought during the last game and very much wished I was town so that I could have brought it up. Wolves will do whatever they think will get them the win, including using purposefully suboptimal strategy. “Why would I?” is not a good defense. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-night-ultimate-werewolf-game/740500)._
