Mafia are also bound to claiming their shots; if they use their shot to “protect” themselves, we will know, because the mafia member’s target will also not die, so they will be claiming scum. It’s like a scenario where a scum fake claims cop guilty on a cop that guiltiest a scum partner - sub optimal play for scum because it’s a 2 for 1We have A Day Lynch. Assuming people don't lie about where they shoot mafia only need to use one shot to protect themselves each. Assuming they do scumhunting using this method becomes difficult.
Also because of the public nature of the shots people who are getting shot are gonna want to shoot so a larget number of the players are covered earlier, with a full permutation of them being the worst case. In that scenario mafia can protect themselves and then 6 townies die and they win instantly. Even in scenarios with close to full shots it's anyone's guess who was protected and who survived as a result of mafia changing shot to protect themselves.
Again assuming people lie there's no need to claim shots publically in the first place, it's far safer to claim shots after they're taken.
Don't talk to me about simple mathematics lol.
AND somehow you think that publically claiming shots somehow makes town auto die, when the reason that it is so is because the town is actually shit and can’t aim properly , rather than a result of my plan, in which case it wouldn’t make a difference whether they claim their shots or not because they’re trash who are destined to shoot town and lose the game anyway.
I’m not sure why it’s in your best interests to keep town being in an UNINFORMED MAJORITY, as if we don’t have enough information already, and give town even less information to work with, lol.
