That's an absurd assumption. Crystalwatcher's wacky games should not be taken as representative. Ultimate Hangman's Gambit 4 was a 14 player setup with only town and maf. While most of our setups have had at least three 'factions', at least if you count neutrals or serial killers or other standalone independents as a faction, 11 players is not where we can assume there is more than town and maf. And indeed there isn't such a point. You could, in principle, have a fifty player game that was just town and maf.
So there is, indeed, doubt that there are three factions.
And you 'sincerely doubting' you are a threat is frankly insulting. Of course you would claim you aren't a threat. It's day one and no one has anything definite to finger you with. Anybody, even the maf, would claim to be a non-threat.
This 'theory' shows you are either scum or haven't been paying attention. To yourself. You claimed herbivore. That means you are either scum, or this theory is bull, and throwing out theories you know are wrong is anti-town.
Like, it's frankly sad how your defense itself is digging your grave deeper.
I mean it's pretty amusing reading your responses. I am fairly confident I won't be lynched or if I am it won't stop me winning anyway. I do like throwing out theory crafting ideas though, because thinking about the setting is the more enjoying thing to do on day 1.
Anyway, yeah literally anyone would say they are not scum or a threat, especially day 1. However, every single game I have played or read on SV has had multiple factions and at least something slightly bastard. I am inclined to continue believing that mafia GMs are sadistic until I am proven wrong.
However, what I can get from YOUR responses, is a few things.
1: you either want people to believe there are only two factions, or you sincerely believe there are only two factions
2: you want to go hard on the easiest target who has done supposed misplays (which were more just me wanting to get discussion, which has succeeded)
So if you believe there are only two factions, that doesn't imply whether you are good or bad, since scum roles tend to have a bit more information at their beck and call (what with knowing scum mates), and if you're town you might just not have any fluff that gives extra info.
If you want people to believe there are only two factions, then that implies you are a member of a third or fourth faction and hope to hide as a towny.....
I meant the opposite of that- him saying that wasn't in
response to vote pressure. I wasn't claiming he was ignoring pressure. I was claiming he wasn't responding
to pressure that might
justify panicking and claiming. Though
this early, that'd be a bit excessive.
I also doubt we have more than two factions because LDJ claimed their next set-up would have no faction colors. Which should mean this one.
Here's the quote, as proof.
Now, I suppose you could do more than two factions without, but it seems more likely to cause problems. And this isn't that big a game.
Nevermind, I suppose that makes sense, though I think that makes it even more likely that everyone has an individual power and something is odd.
My point is I wasn't saying he was ignoring the votes, I was saying he wasn't doing it as an action that is meant to respond to pressure.
I was just doing it to give some sort of information. I don't want to be lynched, but I also much prefer giving some sort of knowledge if I can. Whether or not it is truly helpful to town or not, I just like doing it.
