Hello, hello! This will be my formal introduction.
I am Birdy, Cheesecake's not so tasty replacement. I'll try to answer any RVS questions that were left for him. Please tell me if I missed one, as I want to try to answer them all!
Cheesecake: Which IC would you prefer for a scum buddy? How about non-IC?
Vector. No question or doubt about it. I've only observed her for a short time, but she has a reputation that proceeds her.
As for a non-IC… I will openly admit that I am uncertain. I am not familiar with many of your tactics and gameplay.
Yet, to give some kind of answer, I must say that griffonpup seems like a good fellow to go murdering people off in the night with. Griffonpup is doing a good job of being discreet, the model of a perfect townie, and in turn, a perfect scumbuddy. Besides, he was the first one to say hello and greet me into the game. That's always a good trait for a murder buddy!
Cheesecake: another hypothedical. It's Day 2, you're mafia. you did the NightKill on Night 1, someone has just claimed Watcher (a power role that lets you see who visited someone else, and who they were visited by, but not what was done). they say they saw you visit the person you NightKilled that night. They also claim that one of the townies visited you. the townie has not responded, but they said ahead of time they would be busy for the next two days IRL. what role do you fakeclaim?
This is a very sticky and dangerous situation to be in. I obviously cannot claim to be the Doctor, due to the unfortunate death of my target.
This leaves the Watcher role as a potential claim, assuming we have no cops or other investigative roles. I would counter him with a fake claim of his own role, on the grounds that it is much too early for such an important role to be shown to the eyes of the public. After all, what sane investigating player boldly claims that he is the Watcher on Day 2? He is asking to be night killed, leaving us all none the wiser.
On one final note, there would be one claim that would be surefire to work, provided the role is available. The Bus Driver defense. I would claim to be a Bus Driver, stating that I switched places with the dead man, and that I was the target for the Night Kill.
Doing so, I set up a clean lynch case for Mister Townie, with a possible side plot to kill the Watcher later that night. Maybe.
Cheesecake- Have you read any other games. What is your preferred play style.
I will admit my noobiness, and say that I have not extensively looked over the logs of older games. While I am absolutely certain there would be good information and tactics to be gleaned from the exercise, I have always been one to want to try to learn things the hard way. First person experience is invaluable to me.
That said, I do have a play style. I am going to try to do my best and be perfectly honest. This being my first game, I don't want to try to match the trickery of older players. This will only lead to my untimely death. Rather, I hope that being candid and sincere in my workings will secure some measure of success. An honest man need not fear questioning.
Cheesecake- If it was Lynch or Lose, and you and your scum partner were both still alive, what do you think about the option of claiming doctor? Cop?
I would be hesitant to claim anything that late in the game. However, I would be willing to take the fall in order to make my partner appear valid. I would ask him to fake claim as a Cop, and target me.
From there… We would see how the cards fall.
Cheesecake: Are you scum? Why or why not?
Of course not! Why?
I'm not the scum, because somebody else is scum! It's logic my dear fellow!
Any other questions for me?
