Webadict: Still the same question, but town is unanimously against one person, but you know they're town (or at least you're pretty damn sure). How do you handle the situation?
I know they're town, or I believe wholeheartedly they're town?
Because the first means I obviously would never lynch the person. The second means that I probably wouldn't lynch the person. Overall, I'm the King. I control the lynch. So... I wouldn't lynch the guy.
You believe wholeheartedly. But you still answered, so yeah. Okay, then who would you lynch? Assuming the scum has done fairly well and mostly avoided your radar.
Jokerman: If you were king how would you go about making your decision? Say the blame is spread across two or three people evenly, but you believe none of them scum. Would you go against the town's wishes and go for your pick? Or play it safe and lynch a possible towny?
I always stick to my guns. If I didn't think people were scum, I wouldn't kill them, period. The town can have their opinions, but ultimately, I'm the King, and I'm going to make a decision based on what I think. If the town can argue their case well enough, they can persuade me, but if I truly don't think someone is scum...no, I wouldn't execute them just to please the rest of you.
Of course, there are some problems with the way your question is phrased. First, going against the town's wishes is not always a bad thing; if I'm right in my decision and kill scum even when the town isn't looking at them, then I'm ultimately doing what Town needs. And secondly, you always run the risk of lynching Town. It's how determined you are that matters.
I never said it would be a bad thing to go against the town's wishes, simply that you would be. But that's beside the point. Say you don't do as the town suggests and you lynch someone you believe to be scum, present a decent case, but he flips town. Someone, probably scum, turns it into a big deal because you went against the majority and lynched a towny, even though they were scummy and possibly gets you lynched. Do you feel that the risk would be better left alone if you weren't sure of your target, or would you rather get rid of the scummiest town thinking they were scum?
Jim: Who do you think would be the most unfortunate scumteam for town? Who do you think is actually scum? How would you handle being a scumking with only minor suspicion upon you?
Most unfortunate scum team is one the town has no chance in hell of figuring out. I think webadict and Jokerman-EXE would run rings around everybody in this game. webadict goes out and does all the work and gets people mislynched, because he's a powerful force no matter what his alignment, and then Jokerman-EXE sits back and chastises people when people suspect WUBA for being WUBA, because he has enough experience that people will listen.
I don't know who's scum yet. I've only got one candidate for the position and I need two. Like I mentioned earlier, Zrk2's done some odd things (and odd things are suspicious), and that's the best I've got so far. It bugs me somewhat that we haven't heard from certain people in a while, like Ottofar or Dariush, and I'm worried that some people are only participating when prodded, like Mindmaker.
PPE: And this sounds just like what webadict said. Oh well.
As scumking with minimal suspicion, I would do normal scumhunting, or at least its pretense, and lynch somebody based on a cooperative mesh of who I say I suspected at the time and the town's pick. If this happens to be my partner I wouldn't necessarily rule him out for the axe, but my preference would be for a mislynch.
Don't be too hesitant to jump on somebody. If you suspect someone apply some pressure and see what happens. Yes, that's hard without a vote, but questions can do the same thing.
This, however, is a great improvement over BM for you, I'm glad. Who is your second scumpick (if you have one)?
Please reference the most recent BM before you decide whether or not Zrk2 is scum. I think this is only his second game. However, also don't disregard him as a possible scum member.
I'm curious to know why you're going out of your way to help Zrk2 out by giving him advice and offering his inexperience as an explanation against webadict.
What's in it for you?
I see, completely reasonable. New situation, you're heavily suspected of being scum, but your partner isn't. You've somehow managed to become king and the only way town will leave you alone for even a day is if you hit scum. Obviously you can't just straight out execute your partner, town would catch on immediately because no one really suspects him. How do you handle this situation?
***
I'm helping Zrk2 a tad because I don't want this to end up like the last BM (no offense, Zrk2, but that was pretty bad). I'm not ruling him out as either town or scum yet, but I don't want him to screw town over again if he is town. I was merely warning Webadict to not immediately label him as scum, as that's how town lost in the last BM. However, interrogation is heavily welcome towards him. That way it can be determined whether or not he is really scum.
