Bastard Set-up?

I think there is a lot of implications of lying in the setup, even though you didn't do it directly. I wouldn't call it bastardish per se, but I think you were intentionally testing the boundaries of that and you shouldn't be surprised if the people who lost this game would complain.

I'm also guessing the dragons didn't win this game.

Did one of you kill the other, CDB?

No we didn't double-cross one another. I actually told CDB about that part of my role PM because I didn't want to use it and because it implied there was definitely another scum faction. He said he would have double-crossed me but I got lynched day two after being investigated.

The main reason I thought it was a bastard setup wasn't anything to do with lying it was just the double-cross ability the dragon mafia had which potentially punishes people for playing to their win-con.

It is different to say, that other discussion about killing your buddy because if your buddy double-crosses you, you cannot win anymore in both cases.

Yeah, the worst case scenario for the dragons (both doublecross on the same night) is indeed bastard-ish and gives what I see as an unfair advantage to the other factions. It didn't happen, and would be unlikely, but if it had it wouldn't have exactly been fair.
