Then why did he claim vig this early? If he hadn't claimed to be vig then he need not "fake BP to stay alive". The only way he would die was if Mafia targeted him, which is only a 1/11 to 1/12 chance depending on possible mafia numbers. (I think 3 - 4 mafia seems most probable)Wojjan wrote:
Or maybe you should look farther than the wiki page on bulletproofs and realise that salvage could be faking BP to stay alive to use his vigshot when he has more info.
But claiming vig by itself makes one a prime killing target. If he were really BP then claiming it would be a waste of an opportunity to get a no kill. What his claim just did was make mafia possibly think twice of targeting him.Wojjan wrote:
Or he could be claiming to make it look as if he's faking, so the mafia would call his bluff and waste their kill anyway, and then town will have even more reason to believe that the bp claim is legit.
Basically claiming vig alone was a good tactic, but claiming vig and BP is a questionable tactic.
