(no i wont take off the mets hat to commemorate this event, i got the hat back!)
really
does this fall under the “barring mechanics” bit
explain explain explain
because with mechanics there are genuinely some beneficial ways to self-hammer as town
but in a vanilla game?
no
Like legit by self hammering with my legacy knowledge that I was town and another night where the JK could act town won
Without it town loses because they don’t have the info they needed because there was not enough info.
it’s been a hot minute since ive heard of that
ok but do you get executed anyways
No. I hard claimed mafia to get votes lol
what the fuck
It was legitimately necessary to win
okay
maybe in this ONE SPECIFIC TIME
however: a policy of “i will always self hammer” is genuinely gamethrowing 80% of the time
this one specific time being beneificial is an exception, not the rule
this is why i only hammer 1/3 of the time
me explaining to the police officer why me speeding is actually beneficial for traffic (the less cars there are on the road, the less traffic there is)
There was a PoE of 3
One hour JKed and town was gonna kill them because their was no kill.
I was pretty convinced they were not wolf (correctly)
So if we kill them and they flip town there’s a PoE of 2 in F3 and JK dies so we aren’t cleared
With me dead JK can jail the other player if a kill doesn’t happen again now town knows that I am probably right
I was right.
But I’ve also self hammered in vanilla games on MU and won because of them lol
you have an extremely large sample size of total games played and therefore have numerous examples of when self-hammering was, in fact, beneficial
but what you do not have is the bigger picture
