So, Jim. Let's assume for a second that you're scum. Do you think the fact that you're an IC would give you a massive advantage in remaining undetected?
Being an IC is mostly immaterial to what qualifies me to be one: my skill. My endless, boundless, incomprehensible skill.
As you might imagine, endless, boundless, incomprehensible skill to mere mortal minds is an advantage in most situations. (Except in the situations where it's not.)
Unvote, Nilum, say you are scum, your scumbuddy is in trouble. Do you lynch him to make yourself look better, protect him and risk getting called out for it or try to ignore his predicament?
I would lynch him immediately. Busing is rarely expected.
Bussing is a perfectly good strategy and you shouldn't make assumptions about whether a player will do it not.
Bussing a scummy scum partner is much better in the long term than trying to keep him alive; if you fail and he gets lynched, you're next, if you succeed, you look scummy for rescuing someone who was scummy. Better to get rid of him to make yourself look more like town, since in the end that's all that really matters as scum.
Mormota, Yes I would claim a role if possible, should it make the rerst of the town not lynch me.
There's very rarely any good reason for town to fakeclaim.
Just don't do it, not while I'm watching all of you.
Please, we need more comedic relief if people continue to be as insane as this.
How's about you whine harder.
This is a Beginner's Mafia; flawless questioning is not something you can expect immediately at the outset of the game. If you think people should be asking flawless questions in a Beginner's Mafia, then maybe you might be better suited to games with more experienced players. (I think you're ready.)
Jim, what are your thoughts on Dariush, both as a player and an IC?
Dariush gets a lot of shit he doesn't deserve. He used to suck giant flaming ass but now he's actually pretty good.
As an IC, well, I don't know. I'll wait and see about the kind of job he does.
Jim,
Do you enjoy RVS or is it tiresome for you?
I don't really care one way or the other.
It is frustrating when everybody in the game is at least somewhat skilled, because then nothing happens during the RVS and nobody gets any reads on anybody. If there was some other more effective way to begin the game, I'd be teaching all of you that instead of the RVS.
Everyone, what would be your favorite role to play in Mafia?
Your Mother.
What are you hoping to get out of asking a question to everyone? And why this question in particular?
Requesting votecount please.
Anxious about something?
Fakeclaiming is a generally serious and dangerous action for town, but if you know that you're town and you're about to be lynched at LyLO, it's better to fakeclaim than it is to just sit there and die... most of the time. You might accidentally draw out the actual holder of the role, but I'd hope that they wouldn't be dumb enough to immediately counterclaim. I would never fakeclaim as town outside of LyLO.
What.
No.
No it's not.
No it isn't. No it motherfucking isn't.
Fakeclaiming as town is about the worst thing you can do going into a lynch. If you're town and you're getting lynched, then there was probably damn good reason why that's the case, and it's better for the rest of the town if you don't do anything completely and totally fucking stupid like fakeclaim.
Lynches are supposed to be clarifying. If everybody does a good job scumhunting, then lynches will help the town get closer and closer to who the actual scum are. Fakeclaiming to save your scummy ass as town is about the worst thing you can do.
Do not do it. Do not do it ever. Ever.
