Board Thread:What happens in Salem/@comment-25375217-20171129044024

I played a game as bodyguard. Day 1, someone says "im jailor. tp and lo on me. not vetbait."

I, of course, do not visit this obvious vetbaiter.

The next morning, he is killed by the mafia and is revealed to be a jailor.

As the town screeches that he's an idiot, someone jumps to his defense, claiming -- for some reason -- that claiming you're jailor when you're actually a veteran is gamethrowing, all of the town protectives and lookouts in this game must be idiots for not protecting/watching him, etc. A few people, including myself, repeat that this jailor is an idiot for admitting his role day 1 and defending the TPs/lookouts since it seemed like obvious vetbait.

The next morning, the retributionist has revived the jailor. He proceeds to demand that I whisper him my role -- I'm assuming because I badmouthed him, although I wasn't the only person -- and says he will kill me if I don't give it. Because he 1) got himself killed with a horrible strategy and 2) is now acting like a pre-nerf Mayor, I refuse, partially expecting the people who also were angry with him the day before to defend me. They don't. Instead, they start claiming I must be jester for turning against the jailor and such -- I guess they're afraid of suffering his wrath, too. Someone then points out we've already seen signs of a witch, so I can't be jester. As such, I get voted up. Frustrated with the whole town, I don't defend myself since getting killed will let me go find a better server anyway. It counts as gamethrowing, I know, but honestly, the game was thrown by the jailor day 1. The jailor demands TP and lookout on him again, so I decide to reveal that I'm bodyguard and say that even if he spares me, I won't be guarding him.

I stick around shortly after my death to see how they react to finding out my real role. As my will shows, they're all celebrating how well this game is going (???). When it's revealed that I really am bodyguard, the jailor announces that I was obviously a disguiser, no one bought my lies, and that the real bodyguard will be guarding him.

Despite the urge, I did not stick around to see him die a second time.
