1. Give the real doctor a high probability target to protect (make the mafia waste a kill)
2. Scare the mafia from killing me (protect myself)
3. Draw mafia attention away from the real doctor (make myself a target)
Other than voting, this was my way of being useful to the town. If you remember way back to my first mafia game, I've always pulled unusual strategies as a townie - my first game I went around claiming to be mafia to attempt to sway votes towards those I suspected and to attempt to discover by player reactions who might truly be mafia. By doing so I found out Mira to be the godmother, though unfortunately nobody trusted me even after I martyr'd myself to try to convince them.
I am a vanilla. By nature of my role I am here to make killing the power roles harder for mafians. I have done nothing but act in that interest. If you remember Dual pulled a similar WIFOM as the real detective in Holypie's game, yet he was not attacked for it. Please don't insult me by saying I am acting out of stupidity, you know better.[/COLOR]
1. Unless Synthesist mentions a successful protect on you, there's no way to prove that you were even targeted by the mafia, which means we have to assume you're a townie for that to work in any event.
2. Again, can't be proven as we don't know what the mafia is thinking. Whether that made them think twice about you, or not is something that only the mafians would know.
3. Did it work? We don't know, what we do know is that you lied about your role, claiming it was for the doctor's benefit. So far I haven't seen much benefit. Synthesist was perfectly safe until you suggested him for today's lynch. In addition to that, if we didn't believe Synthesist, then he would be in a harder spot as you had already claimed his role. Of course you changed your mind and revealed yourself as a townie, but somehow that just seems a bit hollow.
As I've said before, I think you went with that whole doctor thing as a gambit to pull out the real doctor, but that didn't work. Then when Synthesist roleclaimed it, you realized that some people might very well believe him. Thus you decided it'd be safer to say you lied as you originally suggested one of the possibilities was. After all, there's still a detective around, and if they revealed and vouched for Synthesist, you were screwed. Of course you could still claim as townie and perhaps be believed.
*Notes for Mute that all of this is speculation* Hmm, or perhaps you have a stronger reason that even that for claiming townie? Perhaps you got the godfather role? And you're hoping that a detective looked at you and saw a vanilla townie instead of a mafian. That would certainly make sense why you didn't worry too much about claiming the doctor as a lie or even appearing to be a mafian.
