If both conditions end in a win for you, you can essentially cheat

if both conditions end in a loss for you, you can essentially throw

if your win or loss isn't defined by the conditions but someone else's is, it is a combination of both

please ban third parties

you asked if an action could be defined as intent to lose


Yeah, because it's suboptimal for one of the possible Amnesiac's future win conditions. It's all water under the bridge though.

Cirno says

if you are forced into a situation in which the outcome is the same for you no matter what it isn't possible to "throw" against anybody


U can pick someone cuz theyre running or u hate them


True. People can also pick Night 1 kills based off of the same thing. EM is a social game, there's nothing wrong with it.

it's just a slippery slope that devolves into even more and more ridiculous bans on gameplay, such as when you tried to ban the amnesiac claiming day 1 on that one setup


Claiming day 1 as amnesiac ruined the setup and made it extra townsided. I didn't "try" to make it illegal, I'm pretty sure I just asked if it was GT, since you basically make your chances of winning with mafia 0.

Cirno says

choosing your friend to win in a kingmaker situation is arguably less against the rules than clearing 3 people off of an N1 kill, but that's perfectly acceptable meta play?


Unfortunately there are no rules against "metaclearing" yourself, although it gets pretty ridiculous where almost everyone clears themselves of an N1 kill.


actually repeated and intentional overuse of meta clearing is deemed as meta abuse


I thought he meant in individual instances, sorry.


I did.

the point i'm making is that you shouldn't ban roles or strategies that are closely linked to the way the game is played just because you don't like them


U misinterpret my intention

I guess really it comes down to whether you choose to believe the meta or not in that case.

3rd parties are still bad though.

"No my bae, I'd never kill him/her. I am metaclear forever. Please allow me to ISP"

they really shouldn't be banned from the competition due to kingmaker paradoxes, since this is a social game

I agree, I loathe 3rd parties. They really should be banned from competition. Some people play kingmaker less obviously and just choose to side with their friends too.

They've never been formally banned at any point though, right?

did you know that amnesiac allows for cheating as well?
