Cheeetar, ToooonyMan, Jim Grooooovester: Which is more scummy, someone who flops votes around every 2 posts, or someone who sticks it on one person and refuses to move it?
The flopper.
The person who holds his vote is committed to their suspicions, at least. The flopper is probably trying to jester it up or trying to appear that way.
Jim Groovester, why did the doppelgangers historically lose so much in prior games?
Probably unlucky results in the night game. There are a lot of power roles, and all it takes is somebody psychic roleblocking a player and then there being no night kill or a reporter tracking a player to a kill target or some other unlucky result for people to get suspicious and call for lynching that player.
Late game town mass claims and coordination are also usually pretty effective.
I haven't cared to look but I don't think the dopp/town win/loss rate isn't that skewed towards one side, is it?
Mastahcheese I see the PMs are already starting.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh???????????????????????????????
Why would anybody be talking to anybody this early in the game, unless you're on the same team as them?
In answer to your question, I see three scenarios:
1) The veteran forgot to say when they were letting down their shields, or forgot to let them down.
2) The veteran is a doppelganger.
3) The doppelgangers found the cop either the night before or by dumb luck and shot him the night the veteran happened to lower his shields.
Oh, and what 4mask said about gambits, I guess.
Your answer is incomplete. The sources of kills in this game are not disguised, so we would know whether the cop was killed by a dopp or a PWV or whatever else have you.
Why did you fail to take this into consideration?
Jim Groovester What psychic role would you most like? What would you do with it?
Probably Psychic Warden. It's the most directly useful, what with it being a roleblock. Medium isn't bad either, what with being able to collect dead players' claims.
Jim Groovester: Will you be my valentine?
Only if you ask me via a heartfelt Valentine's Day card.
ToonyMan, what do you make of there only being one vote cast so far in what is supposed to be the Random Vote Stage?
