Arrogance makes me mad, probably.
We like to create some sort of mechanic to chew on d1 sometimes which makes it a lot easier to start reading people.
I'm not sure why you think I'd try to be the first person to persue the CS as scum when any player regardless of alignment allegedly benefits from it. Scum benefits from staying out of the spotlight more than taking it, probably.
It certainly works.
The first player that gets it will be protected by town because in dubio pro reo is a thing whether we like it or not. Scum has literally nothing to lose from getting it as soon as possible because they don’t really have to worry about getting MafiaKilled, and town isn’t going to disrupt someone without evidence. So not only they’ll waste town’s roles by getting townpants in this silly WIFOM, but they’ll also get a nice power-up to mess with us.
Oh wow, I tried to do something that gives me an advantage.
Trying to get an advantage before Town has properly discussed who is towny or nor certainly doesn’t look good to me, yea.
Why would the first player who gets it be protected?
The town will always kill people with no evidence, that's how mafia works.
You think Town would trust someone a power-up just to kill/disrupt them right after? Without any proper time for discussion in-between? It has to be something really convicting to cause a 180° like that.
It would be an outed semi-power role that most people trust, of course Town would attempt to protect it just in case it is one of them.
How is trying to get discussion going by suggesting that you be picked for something that literally every player in the game should want unless they distrust the skeleton's words a bad thing? Do you suggest no one vote to lynch anyone either because we haven't properly discussed who is scummy yet?
You can't really compare those, because lynch flips will always give us information, while the date mechanic may not do that.
One mislynch at the early game has way less impact than giving scum townpants and power roles too during the early game too.
Every second I see ExLight's reasoning at work I feel myself losing intelligence. That's what bothers me.
My brain is going to melt like ice cream that's been left out in the sun for too long.
oof that kinda hurts my feelings
