webadict: Not really RVS related, but what's the most important tip you have for the new players here?
Oh god, I have to do that, don't I... Ah crap.
Ugh, fine.
Howdy newbies! Pay attention, as this advice may save your life or win you the game! So, you might be thinking, 'Huh, how is this fair? 2 against 7 is easy.' In which case, yes, you are right, and you're Town, thank you for not being Mafia.
So, what are we doing right now? We have just started the game, so we are now doing the RVS portion of the game. You will be asked questions, and it's typically in your best interest to answer them with an answer that is truly heartfelt. I will even start off with one that was asked of me:
Webadict: nice to see you again! I've read a few of your games. Are you planning on being as deadpan as you were before?
Well, that's kind of a bad question, honestly. I could answer this deadpan, but I don't believe it tells much about what alignment I am. I think there's a lot of good questions to ask out there, though you may develop your own way to play.
I'll let you in on some secrets here:
If you believe something to be true, that is to your advantage.
If you get others to believe something to be true, then your advantage is that much bigger.
This is true for both town and scum. Town wants other town players to believe they are town and want scum players to be lynched. Town players should be careful while lying, as every lie destroys a bit of trust from other players. And in this game, there is very little to lie about. Scum players, on the other hand, also have very little to lie about, other than their alignment.
What's a good question to help out with? Role questions, actually! "Who would you inspect as a Cop and why?" tells you a lot about how players view other players.
So, as your very fashionable and presentable IC, let's here some answer to that question:
@Everyone: Who would you inspect as a Cop and why?Feel free to follow this up with a question to me. If you have questions about what you want to do or how to do it, simply say so. There are very few dumb questions. Scum players, you can also ask questions here. Your Scum IC is a great player to ask about your status in the game, however, so use them too.
