I'm not good at asking questions in the early game - assuming I would have to work from scratch, without even your list to steal, I would request each person explain who I should lynch and why, basically going "Have fun with the RVS, which I hate but which I know to be a necessary evil."
You're also not very good at answering them. You didn't really ask any questions for your subjects. I mean, if you were King, it'd be YOUR JOB to lynch scum, right? And you've got nothing you want to ask them whose lives are in your hands? There isn't room for mistakes here. If you mislynch, you might as well have lynched yourself.
So, I will let you think before answering this time, but re-answer the question. Pretend your life depends on a good answer. Or at least your pretend life.
Jokerman-EXE: Who would you kill if you were scum? Why?
You. To be honest, I only feel threatened by you, Pandar, and Jim. The rest...well, Mindmaker, Zrk2, and Native aren't as experienced, and Ottofar and Dariush don't really have much going for them either. You're my top pick because Pandar can be counted on to lurk, and Jim is slightly below you because he has a habit (it seems to me) of getting distracted sometimes.
J-EXE lurks too damn much,
Not so! Just...y'know, lately. >.>
Even though there's a possibility for a Doctor? What if I mislynched as King? What if I lynched correctly? Would these affect your decision to kill me? If they would, who would you kill?
This is true.
Well, I would probably start with chronic lurkers. If we get lucky and don't have any of those, the next best thing would be a townie who is either doing very poorly at scumhunting or the scummiest town. Yes, it seems a bit harsh, but it's with the town's best interests in mind, it would be better to lose someone that isn't contributing than to lose a powerful scumhunter. However, a good thing to do if someone has a strong suspicion towards the scum-king's scumpartner would be to present a reasonable case against the suspect and try to get the king to lynch his buddy. If he goes through with it, that's (hopefully) one scum down. If not and he goes for someone with a much weaker suspicion towards them, hopefully the next king would have the sense to execute the previous.
While I feel that you are scummy, you seem to be telling the truth. That doesn't make me feel too great, but I'd like you to answer the rest of my original 8 questions (which I will quote if you ask, but would rather not).
Mindmaker: What would you want me to know before I make a final decision on who to execute?
The facts.
And by facts, I mean you should everything that has been said.
Not only the question you've asked yourself, but also the ones others have posed.
That's been the issue in the former games I have played.
Players haven't been paying attention, to the overall picture.
You could get away giving inconsiderate, curt and unsatisfactory answers, because nobody would question you about them.
Now considering, that everyone acted like this, pinning down somebody with a vote and forcing them to give usable answer, wasn't an option.
That shouldn't happened in advanced games.
So, do you plan to reiterate every fact that has appeared with no bias? How would you tell me this before I lynch? While I respect the cute answer, I'm looking for a realistic answer. As such, please try again. And take your time answering. I've got all day.
As well, I'll let you know that I plan to pay much attention. If you feel I'm not, then say so.
Dariush: How do you believe scum would play this game?
I think they'll try to kill everyone.
No, really, looking at previous games, they were killing the most experienced players while the scum was the most lurky lurker. So, I think we should start with them.
Oh, you're pretty clever.
See, you didn't adequately answer my question. I want to know how you think a scum would play. Not who I should go after. Not what happened in previous games. Just your plan and simple thoughts.
However, because I especially dislike your answer, you'll have to answer another question: How should a townie play this game? Answer as a King, a Townie, and a Kingmaker.
Ottofar: Do you think the Kingmaker should claim?
It'd mean a Confirmed Townie, but on the following day, only.
Scum'd have the time to kill him. Unless doctors.
It might actually be a good idea.
Following day only? Explain.
You also skillfully dodged the question. It's actually a yes or no question, oddly enough. Guess which two words you avoided. I'm rather disappointed by that too. You'll now have to explain why you chose your answer and then make a counter-argument for the answer you didn't choose.
No, I just admitted I am not a good player. I will try to scum hunt as best I can, but I will not try to usurp an overlarge amount of power. Afterall, all I do all day is grub in the fields.
Right, but the way to become a better player isn't to avoid overlap or let the more experienced players take over. It's to do as much of everything as you can. You take all of your evidence and make a case. Break it down, think like scum, make judgment calls. You won't get better by throwing small tidbits of information at everyone else. Because like it or not, the experienced players are the least likely to live long enough to use it. Alliteration, by the way.
