Carradice: You fail to realize the implications. Also it was Shirley who mentioned that, not Lift. Lift says go ahead and shoot.
If Pookie shoots the Bulletproof, it leads to essentially a no-lunch. While a NK is almost certain to be happening. That is bad tactics. If the target was the Bulletproof, why not invitting said person to a lunch instead? Success and no-lunch avoided.
If Pookie shoots someone who was going to be taken to lunch anyway, she does not make a difference, and actually she is making a tactical mistake.
However, if shoots someone who she thinks to be scummy that is NOT ranking up in the suspicion list, and is not going to be taken to lunch any soon, that is the only meaningful way of making a difference for her.
Getting the best of a bad situation, which we know that in reality happens often. Alsoin some good games, and when people accepts mistakes or bad luck instead of savescumming.
Oh, yes I fail to realize many things... certainly. SPF suggested a lynch instead of day shot. That would be the same as asking Mafia: *Dear Scum, would you please give us, the Town, an opportunity to use a day shot later. Surely you wouldn't have a problem with that, right?*. And then SPF read Laser as Scum even after his vote, wasn't be reading him as Scum before? If Pookie shoots the Bulletproof, it leads to essentially a no-lunch.

If Pookie shoots the Bulletproof - Town will have 1/3 of Mafia for the next lynch and could easily root out the *connected* Mafia, they could even not lynch that bulletproof Mafia and leave him for later as *unnecessary stuff* (a mannequin no one is interested in).
1. If Pookie shots a Mafia (incl. Bulletproff) - it's a win situation for Town and lose at the same time since now Mafia will look elsewhere for a cop
2. If Pookie shots a Town - it's a lose-lose situation for Town
3. If Pookie will not shot - it's a fake (crazy Town vanilla, stupid Mafia) - it's a mixture of both, don't want to discuss it now, maybe I can't say much, but in this case Mafia might want to kill Pookie just to be certain (I would do that in their place), but I'm *not realizing the implications* so... I would rather lynch a fake, and that fake could shot the most suitable target on L-1 to redeem himself/herself and check his/her luck.
If Pookie will shot Laser, who WAS half-dead anyway - it's indeed a waste - that's why I ************ (insert any curse word here) what Pooka did!!!
I agree that shooting Laser is a waste, shooting someone else is not.
I don't think Mafia would let Day Shooter live to give Town an opportunity but they might, again to search for a cop - anyway Mafia should be happy with that role revealing.
It will not change the fact that I don't like Lith's and yours way of thinking (*let's save that shot for later*) - it's now or never. SPF is fine, but not that fine maybe, since *let's lynch someone instead of shooting is more or less the same as saving a bullet for later.
But if for some reason you think that Pookie is just another crazy Town vanilla and want to trick Mafia into killing her - well, I don't want to think about it either. Like I implied before Town don't play like this - it's a Crazy Town.
