Re: Twitch Plays Pokémon Mafia [N0]
I find Tailsy's story to be a rather unconvincing one. I shall now explain why:
My role is that of a bulletproof. I am essentially immune to attacks from the mafia. After the first night, when no one had died, I had initially suspected that the mafia had targeted me. I would have been a very viable target for the first night's kill, and the fact that no one died led me to believe that this could be the case.
When, after the second night, no one had died, I became even more suspicious that I was the one targeted. Naturally, the mafia would want to target the same person twice, to potentially eliminate the threat of an activated alien (I had actually hinted at such a possibility to try and draw the mafia's fire). If there
had been an alien targeted on the first night, then they could not have survived another hit from the mafia. The doctor could have healed the alien, but this does not seem very likely. Tailsy
could be telling the truth and have saved herself twice, but I do not believe this.
There was absolutely no reason for Tailsy to out herself as the doctor, except perhaps to bait the real doctor into role claiming (by the way, I highly advise the real doctor NOT to claim at this point). Why, exactly, would she claim at that point? If I had been the doctor, I would continue healing myself, in hopes that the mafia would fall for the same strategy.
There are a few other details that make it unlikely. Doctors do not usually have the option to heal themselves. At least, on this forum, doctors normally are
required to heal someone other than themselves. Also, it seems very mafiesque for Tailsy to push the abstain vote before hearing what anyone else had to say. It is not always the case, but such eagerness to control the vote often indicates mafia behavior.
None of these points are completely decisive evidence that suggests that Tailsy's story is untrue, but togther, these points render it somewhat improbable. Having made my case, I now point the finger at...
Tailsy!
P.S. I believe I have nothing to lose here, as even if the mafia turns against me, I am immune to lynching. I am aware that making such a claim sounds like some kind of alien reverse-psychology ploy, but I can guarantee that voting for me is simply wasting the vote. If new information comes to light, I may reconsider, but for the time being, I am fairly confident that my decision is the correct one.
