read the last day of the Star wars game,ekko and pein were scum and they negotiated with fuji who was indie to win the game by making him think he was gonna win too which turned out to be a lie,they won but he did not.
Town completely gave up on the game and didnt even submit actions cause we knew he was gonna take the deal because it's what he did in the game prior where he won by removing town's main character from the game.
I think you never roled as indie right?
Being an indie isn't easy. They have to survive to win either pro town or anti town unless there are specific conditions to wincon.
For them to survive they have to blend with town and help them catch Mafia.
A hostile indie has to eliminate town so they will lie and deceit. And, that's how they are suppose to play as their wincon is to eliminate town and even scums
A pro town indie will never collaborate with scums from the beginning. They will always play for town because their wincon is associated with town
A neutral indie will also play for town at the beginning and will try to win the game along with town. But if at the later stages of the game he will think that scums have better chances to win then he can side with the scums.
They are neutral but that doesn't mean they will stay neutral all the game. They have to pick side which will give them highest chance of survival.
Fuji was neutral indie and him going with scums happened at later stage and he did what was best for his wincon.
