Doctor, doctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of loving you.
But seriously, some doctor protection would be appreciated. And why you ask? Well, I don't like to normally post my role but unfortunately, in this situation, this is the smartest course of action for me.
I am the brother. Check the roles. There is a brother/sister role. Why would I reveal this info so soon in the game?
As most of the regulars are aware, I am often a prime target in this game. Now, normally, I do not recieve an important role to the townies like doctor or cop. However, in this case, I have been given a role that is of some benefit to the townies. I know one other person who is beyond a doubt a townie. And with that, a townie alliance can be formed. In addition, my death would cause the death of not one but two townies. That is great boost to the mafia. In addition, it removes me from the game. Another benefit to the mafia as previous games have shown.
Obviously, I have just made myself a huge target for the mafia and made a pretty convincing arguement as to why they should put a hit out on me tonight. Considering it's the first day and there's no good indication as to who may have what role, giving away my townie role really puts me out there.
But, if you just think about it logically, it's probably the best shot for the townies. If I keep my role hidden, it may take awhile to find out that I can be trusted, it may take awhile for the investigator to verify my role and I could end up killed before a townie alliance can get going and that makes it a loss of two townies. But, by laying everything on the line at the beginning of the game like this, it is the best move I can make.
Here's why:
It gets the townie alliance started right away which is essential for victory.
The investigator can verify me right away as being the townie brother if he still doesn't trust me.
With the help of the doctor, I can hopefully thwart the mafia hit attempts since I have now made myself a prime target by naming my role.
With mafia hits wasted on me, the brother/sister alliance stays safe and the alliance keeps a strong core.
With mafia hits and maybe even killer hits wasted on me, more townies will last through the night.
My only hope is that the doctor and investigator read this and act before the day is done. It's risky move to put myself out in the open like this but the reward is huge. Please recognize that this is logical and truthful. If I was not the brother, I would not claim to be so on the first day. Think about it. If I was not the brother, the real brother and sister team would know that I am lying right now. I would not ask the investigator to verify my claim because if he did and any other role came up for me, I would be toast.
This is kind of a long post and I'm sorry for that. This is my one chance to really state my case since I won't be on again until later tomorrow and so I don't want the doctor to miss this message. Please. Protect me. It just makes the most sense.
