BBB's Gambit

BBB's Gambit supposes that when you claim scum and ask the town to lynch you, they will assume you are Jester, and proceed to not lynch you.

When to Use

When there is the possibility of a Jester in the game, especially when a Jester lynch ends the game.

Occurrences of BBB's Gambit

The codifying example was executed by buhbuhbam13, who, despite not intending to win the game, ended up successfully surviving and winning as scum. Here is a small excerpt from that game:

[21:24] I be Pulak: I AM TOLD THAT TEH SCUBASTEVE IS TEH SCUMZ
[21:24] I be Pulak: WHY IS BBB NOT DEAD

(Time Passes)

[21:30] buhbuhbam13: I AM SCUBASTEVE I AM SCUM AND KILROY MADE AN INCREDIBLY OVERPOWERED TOWN SETUP,
LYNCH ME SO I CAN LOSE ALREADY PLEASE
[21:30] OmanOC: jester
[21:30] I be Pulak: NO
[21:31] OmanOC: BBB looks like jester

It should be stated that this was on Day 2. On Day 3, BBB was still alive, with two other Townies. He proceeded to convince poppinpuffin that Pulak was scum, and won the game.

This was during a time when Jester wins tended to end a game; whatever life this gambit had left has undoubtedly been torpedoed by the shift to continuing a game after a Jester wins.
