Yeah, if I hit Claus on night 1 that just means it's the only ability he can get on night 1. Nothing's stopping him from getting anything else he's hit with on a night that I *don't* target him.
Yes just not on that night.armlx wrote:He can still absorb them at a later time though.Because he's in Jail, no one can target him subsequently. See order of roles resolutions.
I agree with this. Scum knowing who is target whom for what allows them to avoid detection and more easily pick targets who are not going to be protected.Cyberbob wrote: As for role direction... yeah, I'm not too keen on it. Letting the scum know what's coming erases much of an ability's function (especially in the case of mine and Twomz's). With roles dropping every night and day we should be extracting as much benefit from them as we can.
That's a good point but I do have the ability to give someone a one-shot Doc or NK immune. I can only do this once so it's obviously limited, but it's something to keep in mind.shaft.ed wrote:Being that we have no Doc, he will be forced to play a more protective role for now. That is something they are likely to take advantage of.
Doh. I don't know how we overlooked that. Given the life expectancy of a Doc in this game I'd say you're pretty much an equivilant then.Pug89 wrote:That's a good point but I do have the ability to give someone a one-shot Doc or NK immune.

No, I can vouch for his meta claim. We both came from the same site (also Claus ^_^) - the issue of Day 1 No Lynches does crop up fairly often and he is usually the one to explain why they're a bad idea.NabakovNabakov wrote:His backpedal on irrationally opposing No Lynches feels wonky.
I like this. If a scum is motivated in this way, however, do they get an extra kill in addition to an extra investigation? If not, then even an extra scum investigation will help us catch the SK potentially and that would be a good idea. Also would make it harder to fake (as making one fake report is hard enough already, two would be nigh impossible).Rishi wrote:So I'm weighing the usefulness of motivating one of the investigative roles tonight. We might be able to protect more people if I hit the Jailkeeper, but I don't see how more information would be a bad thing.
So why hasn't he done any explaining here?Cyberbob wrote:No, I can vouch for his meta claim.

It is better if this line of discussion is not continued as killing one of said roles nullifies the information.So I'm weighing the usefulness of motivating one of the investigative roles tonight.

I haven't seen much opportunity for scumhunting. People are playing fairly close to the vest at the moment.Twomz wrote:Unvote. There seems to be a lot of setup and nightchoice possibility discussion, and very little actual scumhunting. If I get a chance tomorrow or Sunday I'll take a more in depth look into the game so far (probably won't glean much but you never know).
Gotcha.Cyberbob wrote:The MS playerbase isconsiderablymore learned in the ways of mafia than that of our originating site, is what I believe he's saying.
