What confirmed roles?? Just because somebody says they have a useful village role doesn't mean they actually do. Just because nobody has contradicted them doesn't mean it's true.and you would get justifiably lynched when on day 4 you say you are a doctor that refused to protect any of the confirmed roles that could help the town
I have a defender role and am not going to protect quagmire/dimmerwit unless we kill one and they turn out to be a wolf, which would strongly suggest the other is a townie Even then tbh I might not protect dimmerwit since he can do it himself if he's really a flagger.
Announcing certain people MUST be protected or it proves somebody is evil is a good way to have a successful berserk. It's exactly the sort of thing I've done (successfully) when I was a berserker. If nothing else, it helps you avoid targets that won't die when attacked.
And in case it really needs to be said: obviously I don't want to kill a marksman. I want to kill somebody possibly falsely claiming to be a marksman. It's a great thing to claim if you're already on the chopping block and want to live for another day or two, especially to get off an ability. Yeah it won't work forever, but it doesn't have to. And if we're wrong, it tells us to go after dimmerwit next instead of relying on him later when it could be important. It gives us a lot more info than killing some random person.
