I don't like that bull**** hdra dialogue between those two, I have to agree with you on that. Makes it feel more like a gabit trying hard to be realistic. I mean jeez, hydras can talk to one another through other forms of communication. At most I see someone say "dude, i need to talk to you on aim". Not this silliness, I can see where you're coming from Vult honestly. This makes me believe his claim less, but it doesn't stop me from treading aroudnt eh claim as dangerously as possiuble. If we were to try to lynch him there'd be no counter argument considering he's already claimed and we've already discussed said claim. And if he was telling the truth (which is always a possibility, even with Ryker being a gambit-heavy player), we just mislynched, AND took two kill to the butt,a very heavy deficit for town I'm not willing to take, especially this early and with no strong information.
You're on the right track.
Firstly, If a Town Princess really is in the game AND her effect takes place if killed during Night or Day, then the Mod placed her with the mindset that the Town needs to be nerfed. If he were to flip Town, then our Town must be strong, and there's no way we're down-and-out.
Stop looking at things from a "what-if-consequences" side.
The above doesn't matter. They
might flip Princess, but they certainly won't flip Town. Here's why:
You see that they are deliberately talking to each other in-thread about their "role situation". Why? Because they want to convince people that they are a Town Princess. Sure, obviously, but they'd do that as Town or Scum. Why go to this underhanded length? Because they don't expect people to believe them through "normal" means.
If they think they have to resort to "drastic" things like talking to each other in-thread to convince people that they are Town, then why did they attack me for speculating their claim, hm? They accused me of spreading fear, suspicion, and doubt about their claim -- and used THAT as a reason to vote me.
They are employing both of these mentalities at the same time:
1. "We have to go to great lengths to prove we are Town because we expect people to be skeptical."
2. "People who are skeptical must be scum!"
Tell me what Town-aligned person thinks that. Purple? Swords? Joey?
