Just curious, why no issue with the vig coming out so early? I don't see the benefit to the village?
Because other than making the village an odd number, i don't think they should shoot.
If the village is even numbers going into first lynch, then have a blast, which will be executed whether they are munched or not. there value is in being out and making the munch harder for the wolves, as they can't munch the obvious target.

If the vig reveals they'll be a munch target, you said yourself that "their value is in being out there and making the munch harder for the wolves, as they can't munch the obvious target."
Does the vig revealing not make them an easy target?

I think i understand this but I wouldn't be on board with it, you think the vig should come out, but not shoot?.. aside from the mental game it would play with the wolves, we don't know how many bullets the vig has, right?
Anyway I'm gonna trust the vig to make the right decision on that, I just found it weird you mentioned it

Yes if they are out would the wolves take out the obvious
I would be afraid of the vig taken out before taking some shots

What do you mean? What's TWTBW about that post? We were literally talking about acronyms in the game and if I was a wolf, why would I "attempt" to be TWTBW in a post where I'm literally writing the acronym?
I get the rational for a vig reveal in a way, vigs can be very helpful to either side tbh but there's info to be garnered from a vig who's active and calling people out

There’s still the bodyguard, and groupthink to choose a target if they’re lost, but often the lynch runner-up is a decent candidate for the vig if the lynchee flips village.
Neo and Baggly have both jumped on LadySkunk, I'm not seeing the helpful thing. Can ye explain?

Tbf, not much of substance from anyone yet. A few ISOs with minimal to comment on, and no point in repeating that. A couple of accusations, but with nothing to really back them up. Most that I have experience playing with are playing as usual.
I'm always a chatterbox, but that doesn't really indicate alignment.
At this stage of the game it's mostly gut instinct, especially if you've played with the other players before.

What are you confused about? You made an unforced nrv claim on D1. There was a pool of 8 villagers for the rvs to hide in, if your claim is truthful, now it’s a pool of 7, for no apparent reason. Now if you’re playing with wolves, and claimed nrv despite being an rv, then they can decide whether to believe your nrv claim or suspect you are an rv, wifom.

Not a huge amount from duffman, a few interactions with others but also just a fair amount of their own thoughts on how the game should be played, the level of activity and reveals. Hasn't thrown any shade yet. And for that I am going to throw some shade the duffers way.

There are 3 rvs, 3 wolves, and 5 nrvs. There’s no indication if the wolves have any powers, beyond the hint that Jan might be bulletproof, so a claimed cop+hidden doc is risky. A mass claim seems out of the question too, unless the nrv role pm has not been shared with wolves.
Ahhhhhhh well tickle me embarrassed. You said it was risky and a mass reveal is out of the question. My apologies so, I just read mass reveal and went NO and obviously didn't read your first post properly.

In previous games they couldn't protect the same person on consecutive nights though. Guirienespana has spoken about the bg protecting elsewhere after reveal as the wolves will assume the vig is protected and then protecting the vig the next night, but that at best has the vig safe for 2 nights. It's risky so early in the game.
