Caz, how would your gameplay change if someone claimed to be the doctor?

Well, I think it'd be an odd thing to do. Wouldn't claiming a power role just be like putting a target on your back? I might suspect they're scum, trying to get the real doctor to claim who they were so they could nightkill him.


Also, to be clear - there's one cop and one doctor in the game, right? There couldn't be say, two doctors, or no cops, etc.

To those that asked why I was lurking: I had a bunch of school stuff to catch up on, and I could only get on for a few minutes at a time.

That's because I'm not very good an answering questions. As you may have already seen, I often word my answers incorrectly.

That is because I just want to be lynched. Who does?

Now then, are there any questions that I haven't noticed?

Dsarker, how exactly am I suiciding?
And don't say 'I never said you were,' because your post implied that I was suiciding.

Precisely by not being active in the thread. You're the current lynch target, and because of your absence, most people are suspicious that you are a scum. That, and you saying "This is because I want to be lynched."

...I seriously said that?
Fucking typos. Rephrasing it: 'That is because I just don't want to be lynched.'

And once again, I was lurking because I had school stuff to do. Real life is more important than a forum game.

Or is it? :P

Seriously, though, just post to make sure we know you're there. Even if it's just a "Can't post write now" thing.

Yeah, probably should've done that earlier.

Everyone who was voting to lynch me, do you have any reasons for doing so other than because I'm not very active (which is due to school), or because I'm avoiding questions (which is because I suck at answering them)?

If you were scum, how would you try to protect your partner if he was under suspicion?

Dsarker

If you're a townie, how would you avoid getting killed by the scum?

Why the change from "you were" to "you're?"

Because I don't know if he's scum, and I don't know if he's a townie. I wasn't aware that 'You were' and 'You're' would be much different in that situation. Sorry, mein grammar furor.

Jim Groovester; what is the method by which you choose who to investigate people as a cop?

I pick people I can't read.

Jim, why is lurking a scummy thing?

Because it prevents all the players from being able to read the player.

You see, if you're town, you want to players to look at you and think that you're town. You do this by being active, hunting, and answering every question posed to you straightforwardly and promptly.

Lurking makes it so that you can't be read by anybody because you're not contributing. This is not ideal town behavior and you should avoid it if you can.

Lurking is extremely effective as a scum tactic when done deliberately, since just by the nature of the game active players are going to focus on active players since they're the ones who are answering questions and generally getting results. It's important to make sure that you don't forget about any player in the game.

Also, to be clear - there's one cop and one doctor in the game, right? There couldn't be say, two doctors, or no cops, etc.

No role is guaranteed to be in the game. There could be a doctor and a cop, just a doctor, just a cop, or no doctor or cop.

That's because I'm not very good an answering questions. As you may have already seen, I often word my answers incorrectly.

It doesn't matter if you suck at answering questions, you still have to answer them anyway. Not answering is scummier than answering poorly.

Because I don't know if he's scum, and I don't know if he's a townie. I wasn't aware that 'You were' and 'You're' would be much different in that situation. Sorry, mein grammar furor.

Hey, fucknuts.

How about you answer my goddamn questions?

Usually I have trouble reading new players but it's good to know I've found scum on Day 1.

Is it acceptable to ask questions or use evidence outside the context of the game?

No.

Your job is not to be a nosy bastard and probe every aspect of a person's life just because you don't like what they're doing in a game.

If it scares people into posting, then yes.

If they end up lynched because they didn't post, oh well. Too bad for them. Maybe they should've tried posting.
