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.
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)?
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.
