Re: City Mafia Game Thread
why would a townie pick ninja? TO KEEP THE SCUM FROM GETTING IT!
Assume Pyro and coju are townie...
If townie-Pyro picked ninja with the 2nd pick, do you think he did it to keep scum from getting it. Would you rather see townie-Pyro pick a role which can't be fooled by a ninja (cop, rolecop, bus driver, roleblocker, jailkeeper). Would you rather see townie-Pyro pick a "townie power role" to make sure mafia doesn't steal it from the town exactly like Pyro said he would if he was maifa (
#15)?
If townie-coju picked ninja with the 17th pick, do you think "to keep mafia-Gambor from getting it" is a valid reason?
Assume Pyro and coju are mafia...
If mafia-Pyro picked ninja with the 2nd pick, do you think he is following through with his "if I were mafia" goal of ensuring mafia don't get investigated (
#48)?
If mafia-coju picked ninja with the 17th pick, do you think he provided a real asset to mafia by picking a role immune to roughly 1/3 of the available investigative roles? Is there any other role immune to that many investigative roles? Is there any role mafia-coju could pick which at #17 which would help mafia more - either through providing abilities or information?
so can we please let the ninja thing go now? I tire of the conversation coming back to what I would have thought an obvious point. Indeed, can we stop with all the speculation on who picked what? Its total WIFOM, & while that is what this game IS, it still will not help win the game.... unless you are scum, that is.
Can you distinguish mafia-Pyro from townie-Pyro? Can you distinguish mafia-coju from townie-coju? I can't. I bet most can't. The process by which we can tell them apart is the process you are telling us to drop. You are advocating the town to stop scumhunting. Even better, you are advocating the town stop "action" ~12 hours (hope I did the math right) after you complained about too little action.
Just so everyone is clear, you want the town to stop talking about the ninja because Pyro and coju DIDN'T give the reason you think is the correct reason they should give. If one of them later claims to have the ninja role, are you going to assume they are pro-town because the reason you think they should have said but didn't say?
