((All my questions to people will be at the bottom of the post))
Okami: ...Now thats just playing with my Emotions right there. Anyway, I think I would rather have a two-shot day kill than be a vigilante. I've never been too good at the night game and abilities that can be used during the day are quite useful, especially if your on the chopping block and you want to kill your top scum picks. Day- kills are also harder to track if you mis-judge your target. To put it short, I trust my Day game more than my night game, and I find a two-shot daykill more useful because of it being a day-kill.
What if it was a one-shot daykill? Would that change your decision?
Jim: ...That was thoroughly taken out of context. Regardless, I see where your coming from. But lets look at it like this, if you get tracked by a townie killing someone, their are going to try and get you lynched. If your a townie when this happens, the town wastes a lynch on you, and Mafia get even closer to their goal than they already were when you mis-killed someone in the first place.
Why should you be afraid of someone tracking you? Are you saying that you'd use a kill on someone even if you weren't confident that you could justify the kill to the rest of the town? Why do you think using a kill on a hunch, rather than waiting until you have a reasonable amount of evidence, is beneficial Town play?
Okami: Having it a one-shot would not change my decision. I still find Day powers more useful than Night powers in a lot of cases.
And I would not kill on a hunch and I would gather evidence, but the likeliest outcome to me for how I think, would it would be a case against the player who I thought the least likeliest to get lynched on my scum list, despite evidence I found to support it. I have a confidence issue with things like that, I want to use the power correctly, but how can I justify it if I'm wrong when the person had less scummy activity than others, but wasn't holding up for me? To answer your question fully, killing on a hunch is not beneficial to Town in most, if not all cases. Those cases where its not, I have no idea.
Jim: ...That was thoroughly taken out of context. Regardless, I see where your coming from. But lets look at it like this, if you get tracked by a townie killing someone, their are going to try and get you lynched. If your a townie when this happens, the town wastes a lynch on you, and Mafia get even closer to their goal than they already were when you mis-killed someone in the first place.
No, what happens is that the town player who tracked you claims he saw you go to X player's house when X player died during the night. Then you claim that yes, that happened, because you're a vigilante. Then you state your reasons for your kills and everybody has a big discussion about how much they believe you. It is not an automatic lynch since vigilantes are potent town resources.
Your answers to various RVS questions posed to you indicate you're overly interested in how a role will bite you in the ass, and in some instances more interested in that than the sorts of opportunities the role affords you.
Getting caught, it seems, is a point of worry for you. I wonder why?
I also find it strange that your vote goes to me without any questions or further evidence. What else have I done that you find scummy?
Gotta start somewhere.
Jim: I, am a paranoid person in this game. I did something similar in Webadict's Magic Mafia where I acted really paranoid for most of the game. And like most people, I don't like it when I find out I'm wrong in my case against someone. And I thought we were talking about a Day-kill, why the sudden switch to the Vigilante example?
And you "gotta start somewhere" is by putting an admitted lynch vote on me and then not asking any questions till I called you out on it? I fail to see how that makes any sense.

In the vast majority of cases where a vigilante miskills a player at night and they're tracked by town, there'll also be a scum night kill. In such a case, it'd be easy and believable for the vigilante to claim vigilante. They're not going to be counterclaimed (as this would confirm the fakeclaimer as scum if the vig is lynched), so the worst that could happen is players believe them to be a serial killer (but the benefit of the doubt would probably be given if your scum hunting was otherwise sound). Essentially, your response did seem very unguarded. Could you expand on your thoughts here?
NQT: See above to Jim about me being paranoid about roles a lot. This is not new behaviour for me, as was shown in my first few games as well. And I can only think of one time in my short time on this board that my scum hunting could have been enough to justify a kill to the other players. (And I was right too... though they were mod-killed by Wuba because of everyone dropping Magic Mafia)
Jim: Since your vote is a lynch vote, i'll ask you this. If I flipped town, how would you react with your current evidence? And may I ask why you only said you suspected I was scum with no further questions until called out on it?
NQT: Your vote is adding pressure because you wish for more information rather than going for a Lynch vote like Jim so i'll ask you this. In the other games you've played with me, how does my behaviour in those compare to now? And who else besides me seems scummy to you?
Lenglon: What lessons have you learned from previous games that you are trying to implement in this one? Do you believe their working in the different environment so far?
Tiruin: When your feeling better, who do you find most suspicious right now? How about least as well? ((Get well soon))
