What is your favourite role? Do you have a specific playstyle, a strategy of sorts? Would you prefer Town Roles, Killers, Power Roles?
I haven't played for months now. But I remember I required 3 role wins: Mafioso, some triad role and Jester (yes, really, Jester). That makes Jester my favorite role because it's so ridiculous. :D
As for my favorite "strategy" - it's to always speak the truth, as a neutral, and watch people's reactions. That's why I had 10 mafia roles blacklisted and cultist in cult setups - because I was forced to lie as those. :(
Haha, I blacklist mafia roles as well. I hate having teammates, because I always end up bussing them, somehow.Quote:

And, then, there's the people who always lynch Survivors. Which encouraged me to always claim Survivor as Jester. It's actually pretty fun to do that. I really, really dislike it when people lynch Survivor claims just because; but I also dislike people who go AFK as Survivor. Survivor's supposed to be played as a Town Gov role, in my opinion - it's the strategy that makes it the most likely for a Survivor to win. Think about it. The Survivor has several vests - he does not need to worry about the Mafia until later on in the game. By comparison, the town poses a significant threat against him - that of a day lynch. So, the natural course of action is to just side with the Town and scumhunt.
Apparently me too but in FM games. And a certain someone gets suspicious every time now when I scumread someone in ISOs that I make.Quote:

I think most of the people who lynch survivor claims do it out of
Schadenfreude. Just like the Mafia who kill off the Neutral who helped them win.
Jester/executioner are good because they add a lot more psychological complexity. If pressed, I'd probably say one of those two is my favourite.
Never liked the survivor, on the other hand. Roles that reward passive play and punish active play are counter-productive to creating interesting scenarios, and its existence emphasizes the lead of any currently winning alignment, because it will always side with the winning side. Wouldn't shed any tears if it was banned.
I don't think Survivor rewards passive play. If you are AFK or otherwise passive as survivor, you will get 70-80%of the time lynched.
Not if you say "I'm survivor, I won't vote or do anything". I remember it worked for me as some neutral evil. :DQuote:

Jester is my favorite. if i got exe i w8 until my target is dead and then play as jester
But you could play exec, after you won, as a night immune townie.Quote:

Never trust the "night immune townies"... I did that once, as Arsonist. I won without igniting, and everyone was so convinced I was Executioner that they thought the game had bugged. If you want to see the replay, it's in the MVP replays thread :PQuote:
