Mr. Dwarfington:IronyOwl: Who wouldn't you want to be scum if you were a townie? Who wouldn't you want to be a townie if you were scum?
Bookthras in both cases. Possibly Native as well, but he tends to be a bit lurky. Everyone else is either unknown or not really any more dangerous than anyone else. Except possibly Imiknorris, but I don't properly remember if that's the case or not.
Probably no one since I could end up screwing over a good guy.
Without one since I'll probably never be sure who is a bad guy and screwing over good guys is a pretty bad idea.
I would probably use it since dying sucks.
This all seems incredibly cowardly. What kind of ratios or probabilities do you think are acceptable for aiming a kill that might hit scum and might hit town? What about a roleblock? Stranger effects, like Curse Armor?
What about being unkillable for a night versus the chance of revealing the existence of an item which grants scum an additional night kill? What about handing such an item to someone else?
That's a rather random vote.
What's your point?
Bookthras:IronyOwl: Thank you for your one solitary post in the game so far. Some follow-up questions, please:
Yeah, sorry. Will try to avoid too much of that this game.
As for protection or death, I'd go with death. Odds of me protecting the NK target aren't that great, whereas odds of me murdering someone who's detrimental to the game are pretty good.
Please define "detrimental" in this context. I notice you say "detrimental to the game", rather than "detrimental to the town", how important would your perception of alignment be in your target selection? Or would it be merely a meta-gaming kill? Would your answers to these questions change for subsequent nights?
N1, I don't think I'm going to have any really solid suspicions, so it'd likely be knocking off an early lurker or mislynch magnet. Perception of alignment would of course be important if I had any worth mentioning.
Subsequent nights, the answer would be different in that I'd have actual reads, but there's a good chance it'd end up being used on someone I figured we were going to lynch anyway. Depending on how you want to look at it, that might be different or the same as lynching someone who's liable to dig themselves a hole at some future date.
Dariush: When do you feel it's acceptable to lie about your night actions? What about class? Current items?
Please also answer the same question you asked Dariush.
Night actions almost never, since if you're claiming them in the first place odds are that's information town needs and needs accurately. In theory some ploy to out scum as lying could work, like not claiming a rez hoping scum will do so, but that requires some method of being more credible than scum when you call them on it, and probably more importantly, being credible enough to change your story later if it doesn't work.
Class is somewhat stranger. I normally wouldn't think it's all that important, but that also means there's fewer reasons to lie about it, so in general I'd say it's a scum move. Lying about being a class that's better at acquiring items sounds pretty weak, lying to avoid suspicion because of a less town-friendly class is dangerous, and lying about being a thief so you can keep stealing requires your night selection being better than your lynch choice and denies town vital information.
Current items is somewhat more interesting, since there's obviously a lot of room to fool scum there. In this case, it depends on just what exactly is going on; obviously lying about having a much more scum-dangerous item is a lot more understandable than more trivial stuff, and lying about it in general is more understandable than when the point is to coordinate everyone. I guess this one boils down to "When you know what you're doing and have a good plan" more than the others.
Speaking of which, what do you think of his answer, and of his statement that someone who is voting him now will "forget" and keep his vote there by end of day?
Clumsy but in line with his usual. I assume by "plan he greatly doesn't want to share" he's implying that it's a good plan and so on, so it's less specific than I'd have liked but essentially "correct" and normal for him.
For "forgetting" I'm not sure. My guess is that he's being preemptively bitter about being an easy (but not necessarily unjustified) lynch.
Scelly:For warrior, my suspicions would be slightly higher. Pally and Ranger the same. I wouldn't base a case on it though, since I'm sure several people are going to choose random.
What if it was confirmed that they had not chosen random, and that their current class was a deliberate selection?
