As I've said before I'm not apologizing for lynching Improper. This is how I viewed the whole situation:
- Once Improper stopped joking around and started suggesting a policy lynch on Liam (despite obviously better lynches), red flags were set off in my mind. I swap my vote from Ness to Improper to apply more pressure and see where it leads.
- Improper messages me over Discord asking if I'm really third party, I reply yes. About an hour later I ask if they're a PR, I get an eggplant emoji as a response. Ask for clarification if they mean doc, they say big D. I disregard the claim then because to me it just means they're not playing semi-seriously enough.
- Improper kind of hints in the thread about some sort of investigative role, Panda messages me asking if I believe Improper's claim (the DM claim). Thinkin she meant the post in the thread, I say "what her softin cop?" "No the other claim" I am naturally confused, only to eventually remember oh yeah eggplant. I ask what she claimed to Panda and Panda is like yo wtf hold on a min. Go back, as Crys. Crys is like yeah I'm doc. Then they out.
So I ask you what good is an outed doc? In the Discord the response I get (post death mind you) is a Doc and a number. That's well and good I suppose, but I'm talkin like unknowns here. I ain't for sure Crys is the doc and given their highly chaotic playstyles, I'm not inclined to trust them. So I calculate the risk in my head.
Outed doc isn't good for two reasons:
1. They're gonna die N1, probably blocked if there's a roleblocker on maf
2. If they don't die N1, they'll probably be blocked enough times to cast doubt. So we circle back to D1 all over again, is Crys doc or not.
Secondly Crys outed what three hours before day end? Let's assume Crys was mafia and not the real doc. Real doc is in a dilemma, it's D1 and someone's claimed a role that's pretty much impossible given our setup. Do they out? Do they get someone to CC Crys for them? Is it enough to sway people?
Day 1 was nothing but a game of risk assessment for me. Yeah I'm third party and yeah, I win either way, but despite lynching the doc I am actively working in the best interests of town. I determined the risk of leaving Crys alive was a bigger threat to town than them being a bigger asset to it.
