Pirate Ship Mafia [Concluded]

[TinCow]

Again, I really must ask: Why would Sasaki risk his head just to destroy your reputation for 3 rounds and end your life, at the cost of his own life, if he were mafia? It's not even a valid WIFOM tactic because it's inherently self-destructive; at the very least gets him investigated. Even if he were wrong about you, do we compound that mistake with a second bad lynch? Every player knows that the most common reaction to someone leading a bad lynch on a townie is a reflexive lynch in retribution, or a vigilante kill. Utterly pointless behavior for a scumbag. If he were scum, he's on a road which has a dead end followed by a cliff, and there's no turnin' back. Why don't you RELAX and enjoy the fact that a scumbag gave his life to kill you? Surely that's a fair trade. In the meantime, we MIGHT be discussin' more LIKELY suspects fer bein' Brits or Maven crew.

To keep the discussion fair, I don't think Sasaki is really risking his life with this move. I honestly can't see a huge momentum to lynch him several days from now based on that vig kill, even if LG turns out to be innocent. There were plausible reasons for lynching/killing LG, and that will be enough to moot any move on Sasaki from that aspect... especially later in the game after the mafia killing rate has inevitably increased.

In a game this size, with a starting mafioso team of only three, a bold start would be a good strategy. Sasaki is nothing if not a good strategist. I'm not saying I believe Sasaki is scum by any means, but please don't go thinking that his current behavior is evidence of his innocence. This is way too early in the game to be marking anyone off as innocent. Every last person is still a suspect.
