I'll still be here only sporadically, but I did manage to get caught up. Let me just get all my thoughts out in one post:
@beetnemesis: In my case and F-T's case, we've given qualifying information of some sort, so we are already pinned down by that, just like we would have been if we had just listed some titles. Not sure about the others who haven't responded, though.
@rana/Isaac/VoTF: My impression of this is... lukewarm. I understand the value of being a good sport, it's part of the fun. But the retribution part of the threat just doesn't carry weight in my opinion. Let's face it, Isaac is good at this no matter which side he is on. If he's town, the mafia will theoretically improve their chances by killing him. If he's mafia, the town will improve their chances by killing him. So... we should just lynch Isaac.
Obviously, that does not follow. Basically, I think what Isaac is saying is "mafia, don't kill me"; but really we don't know that he's town to begin with. It's kind of a WIFOM.
And how useful is his threat? I mean, let's say the mafia kill him and he's town. So... what happens next game? If Isaac is mafia, he's going to kill the people who killed him last game? That doesn't really make sense because most likely they will just be some random, not useful roles, or worse, he could end up being on the same team as them lol
