He could have been a COP!
I hate being stuck with bad players.
You ALWAYS have someone at L1
claim
first. You denied the chance altogether!!!
Relying on town power to win the game weakens the focus on day-play and mitigates what people do during the day. Very rare is one town PR enough to sway the course of the game. Also, if Vedith was an IC, he should have had the mod confirm that shit as soon as he became a leading wagon, instead of soft-claiming like a scumbag who was trying to buy time. He played the role wrong, end of story.
I disagree, and now I'm feeling I misread you.
Nowhere
did I mention 'relying on Town power to win,' buddy. The
main
point in that post was that you
don't
hammer someone without having them claim, first. Your first two sentences have
zero
bearing. Regardless of PR you allow the player at L1 to claim, and whatever that players does claim
makes a difference
. There are
different ways
to play power roles, but are
specific general guidelines
on how to play Mafia. Generally you don't auto-hammer a player at L1 before they have a chance to claim,
or before people even realize it's L1
.
