I've never played with a BP, but I was a paranoid gun owner once, and I imagine the play would be similar: both roles are ones that you WANT to be targetted as the NK, so I was super aggressive town, dropped a couple fake role tells, etc.VasudeVa wrote:Challenge the prod time limit, try to fit in without catching much attention by doing some weak scumhunting to not get NKed and lynched, and attempt to redirect any attention drawn towards you. That's how I imagine any BP to play anyway although he did play that horribly.
The best play for a BP would have been to sacrifice oneself to ensure power roles could carry on afterwards and that one wouldn't be lynched - the opposite of lurking.
Also, his support of a mass claim is a huge tell. Knowing he was the likely lynch today - if it really would give us two nights - would make claiming our PRs an

bad move. Claiming his own role in any but the most extreme case prevents him from being an NK target and, if he were town, would leave him as a continuing threat to town. He's either scum or town that's willing to work against his own side to keep alive and lurk uselessly in the corner. Kill the scum and lets move on with the game.
