Seriously, as much as I love my not getting voted out streak, I would recommend that people vote me out today. Why? Allow me to reason it out, cause I love to do that.
Yes, I lose investigative powers. Big whoop. I can piddle around for a few days and examine a few people and hope to find something good. Or I can die, have Calvin's mom mend me and come back, fully vindicated as being Hobbes and being innocent. Now, people with townie roles can freely contact knowing that there is someone they can trust with the role and get the townie alliance going early. The faster the alliaince, the greater the chance of victory. This has been proven. Moreover, by having people tell me their roles knowing that I am Hobbes, I'll find these a lot faster than if I had to investigate them every day. In two days, I could learn two roles investigating or 6 roles by dying and coming back. Which is smarter. Plus, it then makes it a simple matter of logical elimination over who might be a mafia member.
Finally, even when I am dead, I can still recieve messages from the living so its not like I will be out of the loop over what is happening.
Plus, by voting me out, we know for sure that I will be dead tonight, thus we don't have to play a game of chicken with the mafia over whether they will or will not hit me. This means Calvin's mom doesn't have to worry about making a mistake mend. It will be for sure.
Finally, although I will be able to only pm a two people as per the rule of my role, I can still lead the townie alliance and the mafia can't do much about it. If they hit me, I can be brought back, so they just waste a hit on me. Every hit they waste on me, puts them further behind in the numbers game, which makes it more likely for them to lose.
At this point, the mafia may realize that it is smarter to leave me alone than hit me tonight since it will slow down progress of the townie alliance and will become a wasted hit. Plus, if they don't hit me, they may hope for Calvin's mom to make a mistake by mending me when I don't need it.
So, we are left with two options:
1. The townies vote me out. I've outlined the benefit of doing this above.
2. The mafia hits me. Again, it might be best to just wait for the mafia to hit me and then mend me when I am declared dead to make sure there is no mistake. The benefit here is that wastes a mafia hit and I keep my investigative powers for awhile. Plus, I can still receive messages when I am dead so people can start contacting me then so that when I am brought back, I'll be prepared and ready to act.
Regardless, I don't fear death on my part. Rather, I encourage it. But if people are going to leave me alive, I wish the townies would just tell me their roles. That way, I can use the investigative powers I have to try to locate mafia members instead of townie roles.
Well, I've outlined my case and feelings on the matter. Think about this LOGICALLY. It all makes perfect sense. If you still have questions, feel free to ask me anything. Choose the course you think would handle this situation the best. They all have plus and minuses but they all work towards the ultimate goal of victory.
And I won't be voting for Vudu today either.
