I'm sorry that you rolled scum, I'll make this quick

If I could just...uhm, interject for one moment. I think we should start this game by talking potential strategy for this. I looked over and went over the setup thinking of possible scenarios for it after I got my role PM.

I believe the best strategy here is for one of the doctors to claim, and then the cop claim. From there the claimed doctor can just play a Follow-The-Cop game, and scum are forced to kill one of the doctors. After that, the Cop is already claimed, and the last remaining doctor can spam protect the cop until scum figure out who the other doctor is.

This makes it so the cop will, at the very least, get 2 investigative results, and that’s only if the second doctor is found by Night 2. On top of this, this essentially makes it so if scum decide to fake claim Doctor, they will be caught out by the second doctor eventually anyways, and the cop can just continue investigating elsewhere.

Oh, nevermind. Cop becomes Macho after the first doctor dies.

@Scum Team - I know that I probably made it seem like I am a doctor with that post, but I am not a doctor. Don’t shoot me.

Okay, so I know this actually make sense it seem like I AM actually a doctor, and that I was going for that kind of WIFOM, so I’m just gonna claim. I am a doctor.

What do you think, Shoshin?

You see, I don’t really believe in RVS. I much prefer a social democracy kind of game.

I also take back my previous claim of “Doctor” earlier, and I’ll just claim Vanilla Town.

Worst. Claim. Ever

Why not claim scum while you’re at it? You've claimed everything else, haha!

Hi Baezu!

What are your thoughts on Pretentious?

Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 1:58 pm
by Pretentious
sir Mr. Cowbells, sir. Is it not acceptable to cause purposeful WIFOM in a game such of this in place of an RVS style of play? I believe that my posts are essentially of the same degree that an RVS wagon vote would be; I could not assume that by posting in such manner that players of either alignment would come after me, correct?

You seem to care what Shoshin thinks of the vote, which is either some sort of reaction test or help from a solid town player, or a mixture of both. I feel like that comes from a town perspective.

I thought by claiming things the way I did that was essentially what I was doing. Am i wrong?

I don't care for WIFOM or discussing it.

Baezu feels townish, though. That's something to discuss!
