anyways i m gonna sleep see ya all
I'm still in school but I wanted to see the start
Pretty slow start huh
I'll try my best to scumhunt when we get some more posts ^~^
Do we do a cop cover strat? Y/n?
My take on neutral benign- keep them alive as an extra vote if we know their identity unless they seem like agenda'd scum playing benign
I am in favor of cop cover strat because there aren't LWs
I am in favor of a lynch today; L-2 as long as possible so nobody just WWE style RKO's outta nowhere
I have finally arrived in full, but I will be joining you in sleep shortly.
First, my thoughts on the game. I will be leaning away from metagaming the setup as much as possible. I'll tackle the questions first.
Primarily, I could have sworn the setup said mandatory lynches at first. Maybe I'm just out of it. I stand by my statement that lynching is not a bad idea. I acknowledge a jailor is possible, but I simply don't see the benefit comparing an individual's thought development versus what is essentially an 8v2.5 day 1. (Of course counting the evil as half, and the benign not at all.) Keep in mind there is no Mafia sided jailor.
Secondly, I think the town should actively be looking for the benign role. Nothing in that role list even begins to benefit the town, even in the case of a townsided lover. Search & ignore or vig. Though the vig should only be shooting a benign suspect if there is literally no other option, as they are limited in teaming with the Mafia/Evil.
Of the "randomness" question: I will put faith in the fact that the roles are entirely random. However, I do somewhat agree with the sentiment that Lover seems like a unique role that wants to be played. Mafia roles are a complete toss-up to me, and I will also refrain from speculating about the town since it would likely only be hurtful. All of the Evil roles are mechanically interesting, and I would have no bias between which of those to see either. Do witches notify their targets?
Lastly, I would be more concerned about early TPR claims. There are a lot of roles in the mix that are harder to prove.
This was a much more fragmented statement than I had hoped, but Gods am I tired. If anything of importance is brought up I'll probably roll around again.
Why is there no Random votes yet? GOD DAMN HIPPOS.
-vote Player
Player has an advantage and will be difficult to read so it is important to get as much information out of them as possible, Player has a meta view of the most recent games yet no one has a meta on player.
No no this is terrible. The town's focus must be on finding the scum team/Evil.
The Vigs target, if Vig existed should be on Mafia or evil, not benign. Benign should be last on the list of importance. Town win by eliminating Mafia and Evil, our wincon does not need to see.benign dead so why focus on it, why waste a bullet on it? If we by ant change identify it just ignore the benign.
I'll wait until you saw more.before I judge you. Rash jumps need not be made.
I think: benign shouldn't be actively hunted for, because a scum could pose benign
You misinterpreted what I said. I said the benign is important to discern but that the vig should absolutely not shoot at a benign target unless given no other choice. In retrospect, I'm not sure what context doing so would be beneficial at all, but I certainly didn't say to be going for benign first.
Bait? Please elaborate
Rereading through the setup: I revoke my statement about cop cover as there are only detectives and lookouts
"Roles won't be completely random" for balance sake I assume there is likely 1 TP, 1 TI, and 1 TS?
Witches do not notify their targets.
Thank you Anonymous Donor
Yet you just stated to search for benign. You stated that a Vig should use his shot on a suspected benign slot if no better options.
Yet that would used up a bullet for the Vig, also it will confirm a Vig exists. In exchange for what? The benign can't kill, it can't hurt night actions. The worst it could do if descovered is spam the day chat.
Hmm, there is that thing. Can lover be loving town goverment? If yes he will side with town confirmed. Tho we won't know if he s really loving Gov tho but that s fine.
Now another thing, will we become stump if citizens gets audited?
Also i will be so much prejudice against ScvMurderer and mrtrophywife since i ve never seen the mplay it (tho i m glad that scvmurderer wont be able to spam yay)
It's the start of D1. My first vote was not because I think they are scum. It's the trolly vote to get the game moving.
I picked Player because I know there is gonna be a lot of discussion and I need them to jump right into it because they are new and I need to be able to read them. They have proved themselves already with pre meta analysis and know how I play, which means that they may know how to make them selves look town from my view.
If you think it's scummy to start the game rolling and placing the first single vote on someone putting them at a shockingly L-6. Then L.O.L.
Sorry SJ, my point was moot since there's no sheriff/investigator type, there are only lookout and detective types. My bad. I would think generally in a setup that most towns would want to agree with a cop cover strat tho, is that not the meta here?
I would like to point out that Superjack's play this game seems a bit different from a couple others i've read, can't place my head around it quite yet, might solidify/disprove this thought with a few more posts from him
Sorry if it wasn't clear, I said that "I am personally in favor of a cop cover strat" or something along those lines, so I did in fact want a cop cover strat to start going, but then I realized I was a dumb shit and there are no roles to cover for lol
I wasn't treating your difference from usual as a scum tell; I was treating as maybe a town tell but i might have to throw that out the window if it's due to other circumstances haha
fair enough, i'll check myself before I wreck myself
