no because that would imply you had any idea what you were talking about
for a massive variety of reasons
also no one has considered the fact that even if shoshin's theory (which is insanely bastard) is true it could be aa9 faking it
Yeah, interesting that you brought this up. I’ve been thinking a lot about Sho’s Angel theory and I’m just not seeing it. The only thing mandatory in Mafia is the scum factional kill, nothing else. There is nothing in any one’s role pm ever, that actually FORCES them to do anything and the facts are that Angel not only aggressively pushed a mislynch on a hardclaimed cop, she also voted for Nico and today, she’s trying to lynch the Nico-flipped spewed IC. Angel’s actions IMO are a result of WINCON rather than
role
. No player aggressively pushes two blatantly obvious mislynches unless it’s somehow conducive to their wincon to make it happen.
Angel knows this is a role madness game and unlike whatever reasons Taly crumbed negative utility in a past game, Angel hardclaimed negative utility, in order to make it a lot easier for her to act over the top wolfy. Angel was counting IMO on people being WIFOMed into thinking someone couldn’t possibly have randed scum and behave this way. IOW, GIF, Shoshin and initially Reality were pocketed by her. Thankfully Reality has seen through this charade of hers. Angel is far from a newb to this site, she mods lots of Newbie games on here. So I think both of them may not have been aware of this fact and mistook her for some inexperienced player, which she clearly is not.
