And you lose any credence of knowing anything about me by making this claim.In post 1702, RedCoyote wrote:You have no idea what you're doing.
I'm MASTINA.
I know EXACTLY what I'm doing.
Oh gee, I gave the town knowledge they didn't have before--all thirteen troops are in play--and claimed my list order, when everyone wants me dead. Golly, that sure is no reason whatsoever to claim, yes it is! There's surely no POSSIBLE reason to claim and give the town that info when you're a top pick for being nuked.You just claimed without any reason whatsoever.
Quite the opposite. I knew exactly how it works. If there was ANY power someone didn't say they really wanted...I would have gotten it.You expect us to believe you're absent-minded enough to not understand how the draft system works.
But THIRTEEN players put in a unique choice as being at, or near, their top choice. One player put cop first, no surprise. Another doctor. No surprise. Eavesdrop I figured I wouldn't get but I put it up there anyway. Someone probably not town put roleblocker first. Someone probably the terrorist put ascetic/BP first. Someone probably scum put nerfed-tracker first. I knew I wasn't getting submarine and we know at least two people put it first. Someone put covert ops team high on their priority. Someone put strategic missile defense high on their priority. Someone hopefully town valued fighter more than I did. Someone either vain or scum put fallout shelter high. And I knew I wasn't getting counterintelligence because fuck getting counterintelligence, but I included it as a test of honesty essentially: if *I* got it, then Nahdia would be a fucking liar.
If everyone took this stance, and there was a troop nobody wanted, guess what?Anything after the second pick is a waste of time.
MY stance. MY policy. Would have landed me one.
But either at least one other person took a similar policy and got better luck...
...Or EVERY troop had a player who valued it VERY highly. (The more likely of the two.)
And that was information good to have, but it's not like I was aiming for it.
I was explicitly aiming for a fucking COP SHOT.
Because if there's one thing I know how to use well.
It's a fucking cop.
I didn't get my top choice.
But I wasn't going to leave it there.
I wanted to make sure I got SOMETHING.
That something ended up as information: all thirteen troops are in play, and were valued.
