I'm suspicious of nirur for his question about Zathras's limerics in that he limiriced through sorcerer 1 and even here mentioned it.
I said I haven't read it. Did you not read my response, or are you unsubtly trying to get me to remove my vote? Perhaps Zathras is your scumbuddy?
So nirur how would you mislead me to act against my fellow townies?
Be careful with your wording. Too much saying that you're one of the townies is suspicious.
To answer your question: Were I a scum trying to mislead you into helping with lynches of townies, I'd be looking for scummy behaviors, then attacking people for them until enough of the town was sufficiently convinced in them being scum for a lynch. Basically, scum hunting, but looking for scummy townies instead of scummy possible-scum.
This plan is stupid; I know,
So Y'all will tell me so
I cannot scry
the reason why:
but our roles we could show.
Stupid idea, but I'm brainstorming; we all reveal our roles. then we vote for benevolent spell levels only.
side positive; If we quote our pms then we could figure out a scum who miswords the quote. [don't know if this is a no-no.)
non-negative: I'm 100% positive that if the scum are any good they know 1 sorcerer.
Aside from the standard no PM quoting, there are at least two big problems with that:
1) The scum apprentices would just claim to be townie apprentices. At least in Sorcerer's Apprentice 2, the scum spells weren't obviousscum spells like "Dark Tidings of Ultimate Painful Death by Bad Poetry: Pick a townie. He dies after six excruciating hours."
2) The scum would know the identities of all sorcerers and their powers. This ... would be a major advantage for the scum, but the benefit to the town would be questionable.
Basically, the town would get a minimal benefit, at best, relative to the major benefit to the scum. This is why mass roleclaiming early is usually a bad idea.
I thought if I soft-balled the first question somebody might make a mistake; thinking I'm a lighter lightweight than I actually am.
Don't do that. There's no pressure on a vote if the defender thinks you're weak.
