Jim: What lessons can you take from WC1 and 2 to apply to this game?
That being scum is hard.
Let's go back to a time before we knew how bastardly LNCP actually was. I am, of course, referring to the signups to Witches' Coven I. Bright-eyed with the chance for a flavor-heavy, flavor-relevant game of immense detail, we all signed up, clueless of the perils we were to face, especially those who were to have the misfortune of rolling a witch, like me.
Witches were the scum team. They had abilities of various use, but no kill. Who did? Why, none other than a vigilante lumberjack, a sociopath wizard who sought his rogue golem, and the rogue golem who was powered by lynches. In a game of roughly twelve.
We did not stand a chance.
Let us then move forward to a time when we thought there was no way LNCP could be that bastardly again. I am, of course, referring to the signups to Witches' Coven II. Slightly unsettled about the difficulties imposed on the roles, but still greatly entertained by the flavor and detail, we all signed up, confident in our assumption that there was no way LNCP could be even more bastardly than before.
How wrong we were. Especially for those of us who had the misfortune of being scum. I was on the Elf team. The Elf team was a cult. A cult with a mole. A mole who was also a member of the Witch team.
That was fucking bullshit.
Point being, I am going to confidently assert that the scum team is most likely not the biggest threat to the town. I don't know what the composition of the rest of the threats to the town will be, but I think they're going to be significantly more threatening than the formal scum team.
Jim: Do you expect overall flow of this game to be different due to a hard cap of 72 hours for each day?
Oh, yeah.
Since we're all a bunch of busybodies who can't get anything done in less than a week.
I think we'll have to keep in mind that we'll need to make and get reads quick.
Dariush: Do you plan to go against society, as usual? Or do you plan to find the infiltrators using more pacific methods?
I prefer Atlantic methods myself.
Shakerag: Who do you think the third party would be, if there is one? (I'm betting it's an homage to Inglorious Basterds if there is one)
Speaking of
Inglourious Basterds, I haven't seen the movie, but I'm going to ask you to speculate about its relevance to the game.
Deathsword, do you Heil Hitler every morning, noon, and night?
Powder Miner, as I recall, you were in a previous LNCP game, so I'm curious why you're questioning people regarding the importance of flavor.
Hapah, what do you think will be the relevance of flavor in this game, seeing as how this is your first go through an LNCP game?
Toaster, Day 1 flavor claims. Good idea or not? Keeping in mind that we did them in WCI & II.
