GriffinpupDave: You didn't answer my questions
And you didn't answer mine. Is this deliberate?
TheWetSheepNQT: We're just coming out of RVS. I unvoted my previous RVS target and decided to go after something a little bit stronger, and I feel like Dave has quite enough pressure on him as it is. Also, see my answer to him for the issue.
Okay, that's a bit more reasonable.
Imperial GuardsmanIts a 50/50 chance hes either a VI or Scum.
Its a 99.9 chance he will be D1 Lynch.
Calling the lynch target and admitting that they're only half-likely to be scum doesn't seem to be a particularly pro-town move. If Dave is lynched and they flip town, it's this sort of pronouncement that will look poorly in your favour. Do you have any reads on the other players?
NQT, because of how he frequently gets power roles/third party.
Ah, you believe in a sort of cosmic luck. It is true that in life I am the third-party, a loose cannon spouting loose canon; a maverick 90 degrees askew from the rest of civilisation. But really, there are probably better reasons to rolecop someone.
GriffiondayActually there is one situation where it's appropriate to vote for someone that you don't consider the most scummy, that I think Leafsnail brought up in the previous game. That is when you need to vote for the one of the vote leaders to break a tie, even if neither is the absolute most scummy. This is to make your vote as relevant as possible.
You're absolutely right, and I should have thought of that. Being the tie-breaker is an important job for a town player and I've been in that situation a few times myself, both successfully and unsuccessfully. In a tie-vote situation, not breaking the tie when you have an opportunity is suspicious act that the other players have grounds to question.
ChinkNQT: You are a generic scum, D1. Who do you want to target N1, and why?
You can just ask the scum IC this sort of thing
. I'd target the most competent town player that is also least likely to be mislynched, which at this stage is probably Powder Miner or Nerjin (assuming that they're town). What would you do?
