No, had anyone else done the things you did, I would have pushed to lynch them as well.
in this case, the things you did looked really Scummy.
Obviously you now know that Drain and I were Town and we pushed for your lynch. It was nothing personal.
What you did, voting for Rysto over Oredigger really really really didn’t make sense from a Town point of view. I’m not sure what your motivation was. Were you trying to be different? Even after it was explained how Rysto didn’t have any Scummy reasons to counter claim but Oredigger had obvious Scum reasons to claim in the first place.
I had no explanations except your desire to not bus when you are Scum.
The fishing for additional masons to claim also didn’t make sense. And yet you stuck with it even after people told you why it didn’t make sense.
And then, the icing on the cake, you thought Drain and I were Scum and then wanted to work out a deal with us to vote off someone else. It just seemed like a Scum looking for an angle to last another Day.
Yeah, I meant to discuss this with you during the Night. You claimed before we had a doctor claim in the game, so I knew right away someone would counter claim and you would be lynched.
I guess, for some reason, I thought you were going to claim an obscure and minor power role, not doctor.
Not really sure I could give you an answer. No real rhyme or reason to it, and that’s the long and the short of it. Didn’t think too much one way or the other back then – Nearly 8.5 years ago. (I’ve been here that long?!)
I knew I was going to get counter claimed but I figured that it was a pretty fair trade at that point since I’d played so poorly. A doc isn’t nearly as powerful once they’ve been exposed. The way the game was set up all of the roles were traditional so I figured any off the wall claim would be immediately destroyed but at least with the Doc claim I could out him. The other thing I was considering was claiming detective and trying to claim that role names weren’t linked to job but I figured that would be a stretch.
Never had Charter status to lose. I went on about a six or seven-year hiatus from the SDMB, and the Charter Member thing started when I was gone. I started lurking about a year before I started posting again, and it was wanting to play the Mafia games that got me back. I remember seeing a thread (in MPSIMS, I think–before The Game Room even came to be) that was like 30+ pages long, and wondering why, so I read the first page…then the second…and the next thing I knew it was time to go home from work and I hadn’t gotten a damned thing done and was still only about halfway through. The next thing I know, I’m plunking down my $15 to post. Thankfully, they went back to FTP before I had to re-up.
