I’ll be honest, I can’t see myself ever no shooting there. I think YBW is the only player that no shoots, if Erika flips Town. I seriously doubt anyone else does.
You didn’t mean to, but you did. Killers have a far stronger incentive to do that than VTs do, for very obvious reasons.

@GoldenGirl, the right play is to specify two targets: one if Erika flips Killer, and one if Erika flips VT. I haven’t completely mapped out in my head why, but I have a feeling they could very well be different.
Didn’t you make it obv ur not speci andres?
If I did, you’re going to have to quote the post.
Right above my “oops” which I would like to think is what I would have said had I been speci.
And even for YBW, I really do believe it doesn’t make sense. If GoldenGirl sticks to their commitment, and nobody gets shot, YBW is outted. If GoldenGirl changes her mind, and YBW shoots GoldenGirl, then they win the game. They would be far more unlikely to be thought of as the Second Killer (which they would be), and without the Specialist, it is only a matter of time before evidence comes along (in the form of the flip from the third Killer) that permanently proves their innocence.
If YBW does not shoot, and Golden Girl changes her mind, then YBW frames a player for one round, but then that is quickly snuffed out after the flip. So you buy yourself 1 day, while potentially pissing the other Killer off.
AND, GoldenGirl changing her mind is the sub-optimal move.
That’s the analysis from YBW’s perspective. It’s just… I’m not saying it’s impossible. I just think it’s… dumb.
The most likely scenario is gg be getting fancy rn.
I was trying to do the opposite of what you’re claiming I was doing. And, that would only reveal I’m not the Specialist if the Mod incorrectly answered my question, and gave the Killers the order prior to me saying that.
But I wouldn’t risk something as basic as trying to lie about what the Mod said, since anybody else can go verify that themselves.
Not how I read it at the time, but I see it.
Like if the Specialist hard claims an RB prior to that Night, and you had no idea whether the Specialist was willing to change their mind, then you’re game throwing if you don’t shoot the Specialist. No shooting is strictly worse. It’s not like anybody else can shoot - you’ll be outted either way. So you have to play the chance that the Specialist changes their mind without informing the Town, because in that case you actually win.
Actually, if Erika flips Town, then it certainly wasn’t YBW. It would have been somebody else. Now that could work.
Ah crap. Yeah, here it is.
If you’re the Second Shooter, and you’re not YBW, could you elect not to shoot? It frames YBW, surely. And if YBW actually happens to be the Third Killer, then you’ve outsmarted everyone. But you would have to be right about who it was…
2nd killer can’t be either of us since we were both priority blocks, but that’s only if gg isn’t reaction fishing by saying its me.
But then YBW’s flip is going to conclusively demonstrate that the Second Killer is still out there, and was willing to frame a player.
I mean yeah, I wouldn’t do it.
If you’re Town, then yes it’s not YBW. That would just be sad.
Like it would be someone giving up being handed a lifeline.
