Deathsword:
Right, my bad.
Wasn't replacing the Doctor with a Jailer suggested as a way to level the playing field and make the game more difficult for scum? How does this work in your opinion?
It makes the game harder for scum since in a setup like this one, if the cop claims the doctor (if there is one) will protect the cop every single night. This means every other player is completely unprotected, meaning the scum can kill anyone they want. With a jailor, the player with that role can choose to protect the cop... but it will prevent the cop from acting. Instead that player will try to protect other players, or even try to hit scum with their ability.
DeathSword, do you prefer to be town or mafia? How do you play as the team you least prefer?
Town, but I don't really mind either team. I (try) play both the same way. Playing a different way when you are scum is generally a bad idea. Scum should try to play like town.
Deathsword: You’re an IC too. Nifty. From how the game has been played what are you feelings on the new players? Your fellow IC? Yourself?
It's a bit too early to say. Some of the new players are doing well. Some, not so much. All of them could, and should, improve. As for you, too early in the game to say. As for myself, I am myself.
Anyone who wants to answer a hypothetical question: This is a simple thing I’m curious about. I won’t expect an answer though as it’s not too relevant. You can stop reading now: Day 4 and no night kills have occurred. How do you react? All players are fairly active.
The scum could be not perfoming kills, the doctor (or doctors, assuming there are any) could have been very good with their protecting. Either way, scumhunting should proceed as normal.

Why is the N1 save the least important?
N1 save is the least important in my mind because there are more members on N1 than there are on subsequent nights. Whether the save is made N1 or not, the balance of town to scum is still largely in favor of town, but the longer the game goes the less town members there are, and the more pressure there is to get the save right. It's not that the N1 save isn't important, it's just that the later night saves are more important.
{The only way to "waste" a protect (try to use this term insteado "save") is to not use it at all. I'd say the best target for a N1 protect is a player that has neither been very agressive nor scummy. Scum often hit those players.}
swordsmith04: You’re scum and one player seems uncomfortably close to figuring you out. However he has also been dropping a few scum-tells himself. How do you react?
Attacking my questioner will only confirm to them that I'm scum. Even I do manage to get the town to lynch the guy, he'll flip town and that will draw attention to me. It's really a question of 'Do I want to die now, or tomorrow?' The answer would be 'Let's take a townie with me.' Ideally, I'd argue effectively enough that everyone would assume the scummy townie had a bad read, but I don't believe for a second that I'm capable of diverting attention like that at my current skill level.
{Never say you are not good enough until you tried to do it. Often attacking is the best solution, and you can simply explain his flip by pointing out his scumtells.}
Imperial Guardsman:
It is N1, and you are the cop. There are two players you are debating over investigating, a lurking player and an active yet scummy player. Who do you choose to inspect?
the scummy player. if he was ACTIVElurking, then the lurker
Why?
{Even if people don't ask why, you should give reasons. Otherwise you'll get lynched quite fast}
Imperial Guardsman, how do you plan to hunt scum?
See my answer to spectr
if i see those signs, i will point them out.
{Ok. Let me tell you something. Just waiting for others to slip is bad. VERY bad. Horrible bad. Doing that will earn you votes against you, and I am keeping my vote as a player on you due to that. It is lazy and scummy. You should go and hunt, instead of sitting around activelurking. Yes, what you are attempting to do is activelurking. And that's terrible}
Imperial Guardian when trying to find scum what are the telltale signs you look for?
Active lurking ( trying to look active )
Bandwagoning ( voting just because that person has the most votes }
OMGUS ( voting because the person voted you )
Are these the only scummy things to you? Why are they scummy to you? Why are they more scummy than other things?
Deathsword,You are a mafia godfather and you are going to roleclaim
Do you roleclaim Townie, Cop, or Doctor? Why?
If I was a mafia godfather and it was a massclaim, it would depend on who has claimed yet. If everyone but me has claimed and there is no doctor, I
might claim doctor. But most likely I'd claim townie.
Also, make a single post. Like this one.
