Simple. You know, I wasn't sure before now? I was just being super-confident because that can help make scum panic. This strategy's effectiveness has been proven once more.
Last time it was two magical creatures and the supernatural elements seemed to be center of the plot. Why this game should be that different?
Counterpoint: last game there was an anti-town non-supernatural opponent: a lyncher, who merely wanted to steal some guys valuables.
This game is closed setup. Very closed setup. We expect supernatural opponents, but I wouldn't put it past LNCP to throw in a completely ordinary 'guy with a knife'; indeed, it would confuse us more, which is what he wants.
Why ? I thought what i should be doing is pointing out flaws in scum reasoning?
Pointing out flaws in someones reasoning (there's nothing stopping you from pointing out flaws in town reasoning, mind) is fine. But my reasoning was not flawed; you made up a flaw to point out, which, I think you should be able to agree, is not ok.
Or you think we all should just agree that you're always right and you're never lie or err.
-Oh? Am I hitting too hard for you? Do you not like me spouting 100% truthfacts all up in your face? Yeah, this is just you panicking, see.
What evidence ?
The presence of SKs in the last game; this is evidence that SKs are not unlikely.
Again you're assuming too much : i know exactly two things about him from my pm: That he recently died and that his name was Anthony Engleford. I don't even know how,where or exactly when he died.
Bullshit. This is just mentioned as a passing comment, with no reference to his relation to you?
Oh yeah, I have that too. My role PM mentions that John Smith died recently.[/joke]
You are covering something up, and it is something that town shouldn't have to cover up.
And it's funny how you gone from "i got nothing on you" to "you're obv-sk".
Panic some more, why don't you. I went there after rereading, posing this possibility to you, and you subsequently flipped the fuck out and started denying the possibility of SKs. Sorry, this is how that works. One moment you look fine, the next you panic and are obvscum. Gotta keep your wits about you at all times, man, or you are going to lose.
Why you left capital ? How long does this troupe exists ?
Because we travel. We could travel in circles round the capital, but we'd get dizzy. The troupe is fairly young, recently founded by yours truly.
NUKE: The thoughts you've given on the flavourclaims seem to focus on the less supernatural end of anti-town forces. Do you think that we will be dealing with mostly supernatural forces, like the previous game, or with more mundane forces? Do you think it's too early to tell?
I reckon that, much like the last game, our primary trouble will be supernatural. However, the Supernatural are less likely to come out and say "oh I'm a tailor and a carpenter and oh by the way I'm also a werewolf"; their guilt will be less easy to determine from flavour alone. The Natural could mention something that hints towards their guilt by accident, for example by mentioning their relation to someone liable to have a bit of a grudge against the Inquisition.
NUKE9.13: Again you're calling his statement a lie in the same breath as saying the mod confirmed it was just an error. Which is it? The way you frame your rhetorical questions about flavor, it's obvious you're trying to insinuate suspicions of an SK. Why so much emphasis on finding SK's in particular?
...no. I believe that Simple's brother is his brother and that he died at a normal age. I accept that the mod confirmed it. I'm fairly sure I've been over this. Yes, yes, I have, right
here.
My current suspicion is not even remotely based on him lying about his brother. And the mod has not confirmed that he isn't a SK out for revenge against the Inquisition (something I highly doubt is going to change), so I don't know what you are talking about.
I was insinuating that Simple might be a SK because I thought he might be; I didn't think it likely that he was a member of a larger scumteam.
There is probably a killing role out there, but i don't believe it would be a "crazy guy with a knife" kind of SK.
So, you use a knife, then?
And only that kind fit into Nuke's way of thinking. I believe that SK are more likely to be magical (Wizard,Golem,Doppelganger,Vampire and alike) as in my opinion supernatural threat is a basic setting feature.
Wrong; see above, Natural lyncher in first game, no reason not to have more severe Natural threats this game.
In one thing Nuke is right : we should find third parties anyway and it should be our priority. Another thing is how can we distinguish one from another
Your confidence in the existence and malignance of third parties befits you, SK. Don't worry, you will be easy to distinguish from the others, by way of how you will be the oldest corpse on the gallows.
It's not so silly, for reasons I can come up with which may or may not be the reasons Imiknorris came up with when he asked.
Players play differently if they are intimidated by other players. If you fear somebody then you (might possibly) play differently when interacting with them. So I still want to know the answer to the question.
Yes, yes. I know that the question isn't as silly as, say, what colour are your curtains.
But it is inherently silly by way of it being an RVS question; not being well-thought out beforehand, but rather being spouted out as part of a routine. It is not designed to get useful information out of me, even if one could argue that it might do so. It blends together with other random questions to obscure and befuddle D1, and for that I find it silly and useless and not something that I will answer if I can at all help it.
