Bard: HI I AM A MAFIA GOON THIS IS WHO I KILLED LAST NIGHT
Town: Okay Bard Third Party Survivor Vig that Wins with Town No one Touches Bard!
I almost thought it was a message to someone like ReV about how to claim without lying or outright stating your role.
All this talk about serial killers and leashes reminded me I wrote some things up after dying, after Kilga used a big word and I looked up what it means. Of course, it is a cozy mountain of text
Unilateral thinking and vigilante kills.A vigilante is not a role that lets town vote to get another lynch that day. A vigilante is a role giving a command for
that player to pick a person they want removed from the game in order to further their side's win condition. Pretending this is a group decision is a fallacy. It will ALWAYS be the decision of one player. That player should be held accountable for taking the action regardless of if the majority of players agreed with it or not. Arguing otherwise is effectively the same as disregarding seperate votes in lynches because a majority of players had to vote for someone. If the vig doesn't think the majority pick is scum, they shouldn't kill them. There is no way to guarentee the majority wasn't swayed by scum logic, while your alignment is 100% confirmed. By this logic it's more advantageous for a scum or third party vigilante to kill whoever town wants them to. It removes blame from them, gives them townie cred and moves town closer to a loss. This is all ignoring how vigilantes in general are pro-town roles.
