The thought of being killed caused a commotion among the mint citizens. You don't want to diiiieeeeee!!!

Eventually, the one known as Jim steps out. Alright erveryone, calm down!
He has an idea.
The vanilla town managed to survive by playing a sort of game.
A game of psychology, deception, and mercyless murder.
Eventually they managed to find out who was the one who kept killing their friends and killed him in turn.

So he suggests that mint city does the same.
Not a bad idea, the one known as Vector replies.
The two of them have quite some experience in that game, so the rest of the town should better listen to their advice.

As everyone calms down, the citizen known as Max fetches a Whiteboard and a marker.
So basically we diplomatically decide who to kill? Kilikan asks.
Basically yes, Vector replies.
Now get started.

Now that the game has started and I am now responsible for teaching seven of you how to play a game, I will say the following first.

I will be a completely impartial source of advice that I will freely give at every opportunity, whether I am asked for it or I decide to give it on my own. You can trust that everything I have to say will be given in good faith, even if it comes at a personal cost to me in this game. If you do not listen to what I have to say, for any reason, you will severely hamper your ability to learn how to play the game. So, to reiterate,

Listen to what I tell you.

If you don't, then what's the point of me being here?

For those of you who don't know what to do, games usually start with the Random Vote Stage. You should pick a target randomly, vote them, and ask them a question. The sole purpose of this is to get conversation going when there would otherwise be no reason to do that. I'll start.

UltraValican, I've never seen you around here before, so answer me a question. As a cop, how would you determine who to inspect at night?

Ideally you should ask game related questions in the RVS. Asking what kind of flavor of ice cream is a player's favorite does absolutely nothing to help you find scum, which is your primary goal.

And because it bears repeating: Your primary goal is to find scum. Everything you do should help you towards that goal. And I do mean everything.

If you're scum, you will obviously have a different goal: Avoid detection until the end of the game. The best way to do this is to look like you are trying to find scum.

Since many of you are going to have no idea what to do and will mangle scumhunting in just about every possible way, it does you no good to hold back. So be bold, and just do the best you can. Ask lots of questions, try to get a good feel for how the game is played. I'll be there to help you when you go wrong.

If you played a Beginner's Game before you probably recognize this spiel, but it's good all the same.

breadbocks: You were in the last beginner game I played, and I've seen you play others, how do you consider yourself a beginner still, and what do you believe you need improvement at that would constitute you still being in a Beginner game?
 -If you were a doctor, how would you go about determining the most likely person to be targeted by the scum at night, so you might best protect them?
