BBB's Gambit
Probably the stupidest of all gambits in the world, BBB's Gambit is the gambit that, when you claim scum and ask the Town to lynch you, they will assume you are Jester, and proceed to not lynch you.
Occurrences of BBB's Gambit
In recorded history, this has only been performed once, by buhbuhbam13. The most interesting part of this case is that upon performing the Gambit, BBB did not intend to win the game. He, however, did. 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.
