I know this is probably unconventional play, but here goes nothing:
I am a Survivor, Neutral, with no abilities. I?m not sure how much I can reveal before Thyiad offs me, but I?ll answer any questions to the best of my abilities.
My goal is to survive until the end of this game, and survive alongside ANY faction, whether it be town, mafia, or a malicious neutral. I will win alongside ANY SINGLE faction, and ANY SINGLE faction will also win with me as long as all other factions are dead. (Is this paraphrasing good enough Thy? You?re breaking my balls here.)
Q & A Time:
~ Why the D1 reveal? ~
Because there?s zero chance I?m going to survive however long this game lasts otherwise. Holy crap. 27 players. A possibility of two lynches per day. And well, me. No one?s gonna let me live that long, given my history in mafia games.
~ How do you intend to play? ~
I will be pro-town for the initial stages of the game. I will actively scumhunt, I will try to decode any post restrictions, I will help out the town just as any VT would. I will try to the best of my ability to play as any VT would. Seriously. I will actually play as a VT. Should town seem to have the upper hand, sorry mafia, I?m siding with the town.
However, it goes without saying: if there?s ever a situation where mafia has gained a majority and an upper hand, I will side with them in a heartbeat. I will side with mafia in LYLO (and even earlier), should it ever get that way.
To malicious neutral roles (e.g. SKs) that need to basically kill everyone: I will side with you if there?s ever a 1:1 situation vs mafia, or a 2:1 situation vs town. Otherwise if mafia has 2 or town has 3 and you?re by yourself, sorry. I hope you won?t kill me out of spite so that I lose.
~ Why shouldn?t we lynch you for the lulz? ~
Town:
Dear fellow drinkers: I just came out, Day 1, about my role. I am doing you so many favours.
> Your doc knows who to not heal. Your doc will always have a n-1 chance of successfully healing a townie, instead of me. I could have pretended to be an important town role instead and wasted his actions on me instead of someone important.
> Your cop knows who to not investigate. Seriously: if you must, go ahead and validate that I?m telling the truth. You?re just wasting an investigation on a potential mafia.
> Your bus driver can use me as protection bait. Although I must admit, I really, really, really hope you don?t.
> If there?s a vigilante, you can shoot me I suppose. OR: you save your NKs and use it during a critical moment.
> The town literally has a potential 2 lynches per day, although the second lynch really falls into the hands of mafia (i.e. if a Vote 2 actually manages to pass, you?re probably hitting a townie). You can use those lynches to take out potential mafia early on, or you can use it on me and waste your early game random lynches (when it most counts, since the loss is minimal). There are probably ~5 or more mafia, and if you don?t include me as a potential target, you have a better chance of hitting them.
Mafia:
To my drinkers with a secret agenda: While it is true I am initially going to play pro-town, please try and refrain from killing me off immediately.
> NK me? Sure. You just potentially missed out on a doc/cop/etc NK.
> Goons with special abilities know that targeting me does nothing towards your cause.
> If you ever need the number advantage when it?s cutting close, I?ll be right there beside you.
Neutrals:
To the nutjobs on the table: wanna see a magic trick? Well I?m going to make this pencil disappear.
> It?s you versus the world. Heck, you?re probably going to lose with numbers this large. Don?t lose your only (probably) potential ally.
I guess overall I still have to appeal to the town. All I have to say is: do you REALLY want to WASTE your LYNCHES on SOMEONE who?s potentially gonna ALLY with you ALL GAME? You can random lynch while you still have the numbers. Take me out, you lose one day and mafia whittles your numbers lower.
~ omg biggest conspiracy ever you are actually mafia/doc/super cereal trying to disguise himself super hard? ~
No. No I?m not. Look into the history of all mafia games played on this forum. Has anyone actually EVER done this? No one is gutsy enough to do stuff like this. And neither am I. I just really have nothing to lose ? I am not going to survive the 10+ rounds this game will take. I want to win this game. I am not secretly a doc hoping that mafia won?t target me. I am not secretly a mafia goon trying to pass off innocent all game long. No one does that. No one draws attention to themselves like that. It?s too much of a gamble.
Look ? I just want to live. I want to survive. I want to make it out of this game in One Piece. NK me, lynch me, investigate me, do whatever you want if you don?t believe me. For the first time ever in a mafia game, I?m 100% honest. You take any actions against me, you waste one potential turn. I know the most likely action at the moment is to Vote 2 me out of this game, but consider what I bring to the table before you do so.
TL;DR: DON'T KILL ME GIEB FREE WIN
P.S. - My earlier comment: I jsut wanted free post count.
