Welcome everyone! As one of the more experienced scumhunters round these parts, I'll be here to give you a few pointers.
Now, as most of you seem to have figured out, we're currently in RVS, or Random Vote Stage. This is the part of the game where we don't have anything to go on, so we have to
make something to go on by flailing around a lot.
However, ideally this flailing should also help give us at least rudimentary information on other players, which is why game-related stuff is usually better than favorite flavor of ice cream and so on. That said, anything is better than nothing, and sillier questions can sometimes still be of use.
Or more or less what Jim ninja'd me to say considerably more bluntly. Jim is wise, so you should consider listening to him when he talks.
So, on we go:
Onyxjew:Ironyown I sense an inside joke within your username, that, or random.org has made a fool of me again. Any thoughts on the matter?
It was partially inspired by a
valiant owl that managed to enrage my opponent sufficiently to eat a
condemn (he was losing anyway).
Speaking of which, if you could have a role inspired by any color from Magic: The Gathering, what color would that be?
!!scientist!!:Ironyown: What came first, the chicken, the egg, or the chicken sandwich?
Depends on whether you define a chicken egg to be an egg containing a chicken or an egg laid by a chicken. I would generally lean towards egg.
Also, would you rather be a water bear or a regular bear? How come?
I'm just saying don't kill me. Nobody wants to die today. Besides, is your great tactic for finding these bandits asking people if their dying will benifit you? nobody would say no! Now I don't want to overreact to this, but I'm starting to think that you, Captain Ford, are a bandit.
Now this seems oddly defensive, doesn't it? "I'm just saying don't kill me?" While we're at it, don't kill me either! We should get a tally going of people who don't want to die.
Captain Ford:Before I answer any more questions, I must confess some amusement at how several players have picked up Nerjin's mispelling of IronyOwl's name in post #28. Kind of interesting to know that they're referring to that post rather than the OP for picking their RVS targets.
So you don't think there's anything to that?
Also, the origin of your username is awesome. Speaking of which, would you rather be a doctor (protects target from a kill), vig (kills target at night), or roleblocker (prevents target from actioning that night)?
notquitethere:Looks around suspiciously at Tiriun and the Ironyowl.
"I'll give you 'til tomorrow and if you still aint said yer piece by then I can't say I won't be suspicious."
Ye'll wait as long as ye need to fer me te get whar I'm goin', boy.
Speakin' a which, would you rather a player be moderate in post frequency and quality, or very high in post quality but rather sparse in frequency?
burn_healIronyowl Do you enjoy better being a mafia or a townsperson?
That's a tough one. Being mafia is probably more fun because of the "teehee nobody suspects a thing!" part, but only when you act like a townie; the temptation to just lurk makes the game less fun as scum. Being townie is also fun because it gives you a more obvious goal- find scum- as opposed to scum's more nebulous "anything it takes to run out the clock."
Tiruin, nobody seems to be questioning you. That's no fun. Would you rather have a one-shot inspect or a two-shot roleblock?
fraxert:+!!scientist!!+, you're acting rather defensive.
Is that all? How do you feel he could react to this in a way that will give you a better read on him?
