It's generally a townie thing to do. If you're familiar with a setup, there are usually optimal strats that should be implemented early. As setups become more known, those strats are basically implemented automatically as soon as town starts playing. Problem is, scum will also try to be the person suggesting the strat to try to get themselves cleared early. With Sunfan, for example, a lie-detector likely wouldn't target sunfan's claim post because he was the one "townie" enough to bring up the strat in the first place and he'd gain major townpoints with everyone else. So, basically, he'd have an incentive to bring up the strat as either scum or survivor.

And to answer your question, no they won't. You're to flail-y to die and they will abuse you like I did to you previous game and thereon and so forth.

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

The only way you'll die in the night is you do the unexpected.

All claiming survivor does is make them susceptible to "cop checks" ---- it's not a death sentence to them, and going with the program reduces the suspicion they get, leading to smaller probability that they get selected by the lie detector, ironically

This is valid. I think looking at the timing and where the discussion was when someone made that post will have to be taken into account for it to be as useful as we hope.

For instance, I feel really good about Haku and you because you both did it right after SunFan proposed the idea, which shows that at the start of the game y'all instictly fell into a Town mindset.

Someone who has recently gotten around to doing it, not so much.

He seems to think ahead of when games start.
Also to note, he was town those two games. I dont think I've seen him roll wolf yet, though.

Well, he was Cop last game actually, to me it's like saying he's not afraid to do that with an important role. So, I can see this happening as wolf and being discarded later on. Speaking of which, it did seems like he just kind of discarded is own idea not too long ago.

Coincidence?

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

What the fu-, he did NOT discard it

I have been reading. More like digressing but whatever. I'll apply myself when I'm finished.

You talking about the game or the visual effect?

Haven't played the game, but the visual effect is indeed amazing.

this leaves shado, round, wabby and charu (I had forgotten wabby hadn't done it, I don't have strong feelings about this)

I've kind of gotten pretty much all that I wanted out of this, I think insisting that people do it or be lynched will not be very effective, but I'm not really sure. <- keeping some leeway I guess

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Okay, I guess that's different from "I don't care about lie detector anymore".

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

DaBackpack is the only one trending upwards for me
Not fully convinced he's safe but I like the cut of his jib
Too lazy to read into everyone else too much

If the phase ends tomorrow 10 pm Server Time, I will assume you won't be here in time to post anything?

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Re: TWG CLVIII: Game Thread - Survivor Valais

Hm. Thanks for quoting that, Haku. It's rather interesting. I kind of doubt that was a wolf slip, though. After re-reading all his posts (postcounter is a valuable asset), I don't think he meant it in the, "I'm a wolf, I got the townie trust I wanted so let's let the strat go". I think it was more meant in the, "I accomplished the goal I had for this strat, so let's put it aside for now."

That's especially interesting, though, because this:

Makes it seem as though that goal wasn't to get everyone to follow it, but a different goal entirely.

What's your angle, sunfan?

and why do you have so many expectations? why are your reads so heavily dependent on them? it almost seems as though you know what the answer is and it's just a matter of things falling into place as you expect them to.

I guess I wouldn't have expected wabby to be a holdout on my proposal, I would like to hear why he didn't post that he was a survivor
