Jiokuy: If you could pick one of the power roles in this game and know who has it (or if no one does) which role would you pick and why?
In this game (e.g. BM and not Mafia in general), I would want to know who the cop was. Knowing who the doctor is doesn't really help me all that much, but the ability to trust that a player really is a cop is invaluable. The cop is who helps inform the uninformed majority.
True, but players putting too much faith in cops is why we have godfather roles [and millers, but that's in non-beginner games]. Why would you want to know who the cop is over who the godfather and/or roleblocker,
Jiokuy?
Shakerag: Which is worse for the town: A townie that drops scumtells/noobtells but is okay at scumhunting, or one that doesn't scumhunt much but doesn't drop many tells? Why?
Arguably both are bad for town. The former is prone to get mislynched for thier *tells, and the latter is prone to get mislynched for active lurking. If I had to pick, I'd say the second one, because at least the first player is generating activity via scumhunting.
[I would personally disagree with your answer to Lord Allagon. As scum, NKing the lurker over the agressive player would be, I think, a bad move. Said aggressive player could end up targeting you or your scumteam and one of you could end up cracking under the pressure. Better to remove that person so one of the scumteam can move in as "the aggressive player" and direct the rest of the town.]
No lynch. I'm not sure who would be scum in that mess, but I would bet on the activelurker, unless I feel that the scumhunter's claims are mostly bullshit. Regardless, No lynch, and wait to see who dies would be better than lynching and having a higher chance of messing up.
[I can't quote a source at present, but I have heard it stated that unless you have a confirmed scum to lynch during MYLO, the safest bet is to no lynch and bring the game to LYLO. Roles in non-beginner games like vigilante, cult, etc. can make a situation that looks like MYLO actually *be* LYLO, however.]
