Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread
The mafia knows I am pro-town. Now, assuming some believe TC, the town knows so as well. Nothing else is necessary at this point.
So, why would I not divulge my role? The name of the role alone is irrelevant; what is important is what I can or can't do.
Say I'm night kill immune - divulging this would hurt the town, as the mafia would be more likely to target someone else who would be vulnerable. Say I'm NOT nightkill immune - the mafia doesn't know this either, and the less information they have to work with the better.
Same thing for siring / recruiting. What if I am immune to being recruited? I wouldn't want the mafia to know this, as I would want them to waste a recruit / sire attempt. Given that immunity to siring has already been claimed, the mafia have to acknowledge its possibility. If I divulge my role and am vulnerable to siring, I would likely be the next in line to be recruited - why bother attempting to recruit someone who may be immune, when someone who claims not to be is available?
Withholding my role is also an effective ace in the hole - if someone claims to have my role, I will know they're lying, and hence mafia.
Divulging my role ultimately will only serve the interests of the bad guys. These are pretty basic tactics, really. Frankly, I find insisting that everyone give up their roles this early in the game to be a pretty lazy and not very effective way to play the game.
