kleril, so the reason I knew you didn't care about your general question at the start of the game is because I refused to answer and you haven't bothered to try and get an answer out of me. Am I wrong?
Imp, you are
really wordy. Brevity is a virtue in mafia, you know.
I see that you answered the questions directed to you reasonably effectively but you didn't deign to answer any in turn. You going to let all these new kids question themselves?
Are you suggesting I'm deficient because I'm not hogging all the fun for myself?
I'm just getting started.
I don't have an impossible-to-fulfil wincon for once.
This is interesting.
As for impossible wincons. The last five games:
- In Witches I had to kill all third parties before all the witches were killed, including killing ZU four times
- In Princess I had to survive a whole game where death was meted out by scum randomly
- In BM XLII I died N1 as the cop in a game fraught with participation issues
- In Toon I had to spend a night alone in a room with a boy in a game where not all the other players could be relied on to rationally play to their wincons
- In the Great Temple (though I also admit to lousy play here) I was pretty much the only player that didn't have a power in a game with dubious mechanics
No, this time I have a normal role (town, since you asked). Most of the other players in this game seem somewhat competent, I trust that the game set-up isn't completely broken, and it's at least not out of the realms of possibility that if I die tonight, I'll still win the game. You seem to be saying that scum and town wincons are impossible: what do you know that I don't?
How is cop an impossible wincon? Or survivor? Just because you lost those games doesn't mean that they were unwinnable.
It makes me really curious to know what you consider winnable when cop and survivor aren't. Might be something nasty.
Toonyman: Welcome in late to the party! If your role gave you a one shot daykill which had to be used on D1 or not at all, who's your pick and why?
Jim, he's scary.

Tiruin dons her Inquisitorial hat and robe.
I like where this game is going!
Jim Groovester: You have been resurrected from death. How would you proceed, and how do you convince the town not to lynch you?
Resurrected as what?
People resurrected come back as different alignments. They could be town, they could be scum, they could be benign-ish third parties, they could be malicious third parties.
Because of all these possibilities, you're generally locked into one playstyle: pretend to be town. It's pretty unsatisfying being resurrected because everybody has their eye on you and if anything that didn't happen before happens guess who's first on the list for everybody to look at.
If I was resurrected as non-town I would do nothing until I could win. It's lame, but it's worked in the past.
@Jim:
If you had to lynch all players but two (excepting yourself, of course), who would they be, and why?
The two people I didn't think were scum, of course.
Did you want names? That's kind of silly and premature at this stage of the game.
At the time of asking it I did care. After a few people answered and I re-read the OP I realized I was being dumb and have since stated, in thread I believe, that the question was basically worthless.
Why did you care about it?
Omega3: You decided to unvote NQT or not?
This is the only thing you can think of to ask? What do you care whether Cmega3 unvotes notquitethere?
Here, I've got one for you. What do you make of this vote?
Persus13.
Jim: You seem pretty annoyed by us newbs. Who do you think can be more dangerous, newb town or newb scum and are there any special ways to tell the difference.
Because you're all on my damn lawn!
The n00b is dangerous because he has a vote and the ability to cast in whatever way he feels is best, which usually is pretty terrible. More often than not, however, the noob is more a danger to himself than anybody else.
Newb scum and newb town do cleave to separate tells, but those are trade secrets. Sorry, bud.
