TheDarkStar:Comrade Shamrock, why do you find me more suspicious that almost everyone else? What is it that you don't like about my lookout aspirations today (which consist of barely anything, actually)? Where did you manage to find somewhere where I posted about them from Day 1, considering that I didn't even mention wanting that iirc?
You have said you would love the job.
TDS, would you like to be the night watchman? Why?
Yes, who wouldn't want to be watchman (unless they have some strange wincon/role thing)?
Town: Info about nightkills, possibly something to do if you have a useless role.
Scum: Finding town power roles.
Third party: Seeing what happens and siding with town or scum based on that.
You state quite clearly here you want it. You also say "who wouldn't" which means you don't see the side of those who want to avoid it (want to use their power instead).
I think it's enough of a possibility that we should not vote anyone involved in this for lookout.
Also your suggestions on who to pick as lookout now. Sounds like a good idea of course but let me show how I think it's about.
We have 12 players. Your suggestion drops us to eight (seven?).
We lose: Caz, Flabort, Tolyk, Deus. (cheese?)
Not lamentable mind you. The cops don't have to choose which actions to use and we have 2 we don't want due to doubts over alignment anyway.
But let's look at the remaining candidates.
Vivalas, Persus, Deathsword, Tiruin, Silthuri, Myself, TDS
Tiruin and Silthuri are immediately out. We have really no idea as to their alignment. No one's really going to vote for them.
Myself, I stated D1 that I don't want lookout because I want someone to possibly use and not have me hiding all the time.
Vivalas, nobody trusts him as far as I can see. Gone.
Persus, self voted D1 the same thing that made people not want to vote Caz. A maybe but less likely.
Deathsword, scumhunted some, been mainly pushing on Vivalas.
TDS, You haven't done anything too spectacular or particularly scummy.
So in my mind following your suggestion we have 2 main candidates with a possible but unlikely on Persus.
Deathsword, mainly been after Vivalas. He has scumhunted but it has been on someone new so emotionally not the best platform to campaign on.
TDS, you've been quiet avoided stepping on most people's toes. This might make you a popular candidate.
Now this is how I think your mind works if you are scum. You suggested that we pick someone not involved to seem helpful and possibly prompt someone to nominate you for lookout, which Deus does.
TDS, you want to have lookout duty tonight?
You also seem quite eager to do so even though it may bring the mafia down on your head.
Now I may be overthinking this please tell what you think guys?
