I don't think I have the experience to be a big help, no matter what role I may or may not have.

Lump Vote: Necrule Paen

Vote for me and I will only use it to solve tie breakers by way of coin toss/dice roll. That is the most useful I'll be.

 

I honestly have no idea who to give lump to. First time playing, need to learn the ropes. :/

PS I have class in 30 mins. Can't play till I get home at about 8pm (+8GMT). D:

 

Necrule can't even use bold! Give it to me!

Huh. Well, turns out that I want Lump after all. I want it pretty badly. Witches, don't kill me, BTW, because I'm a good scapegoat. I already know some of you will be like "ASHAYA'S A WITCH, THE DIRTY BITCH". But I don't want to die

 

A question for everyone: Disregarding the priest, what are the 3 strongest town roles (include why, if you like).

Necrule Paen: So if you had to cast the tiebreaking vote between scummy McScumscum and average-seeming towner, you'd legitimately just flip a coin?

That seems like, not a good thing to be doing at all, even if you are a new-ish player.

Pyracrys: Do you think it would be ok to have the priest check whoever gets lump on night 1 or night 2? Give reasons for or against.

In other news, I'll tentatively vote Ashaya for lump.

Lump vote: Ashaya

 

Sew selfish, Ashaya.

 

Hi lungs.

To help you towards posting something of real value, I'ma do this.

Deadline vote: OntheImportanceofLungs

 

Get ready for a tl;dr, people.

Lump has a potential to be used dangerously for both sides, so it's not a "OH WHATEVER WE'RE NOT USING IT ANYWAY". The person who has lump needs to be logical, analytical and most of all, strike a balance between lynching and no lynch.

The people I list here are those who I think fit the criteria, so if I don't choose you please don't be offended, you're just new or I didn't really see how you play.

KaiDASH: The most obvious choice. The problem is, with how pro-town Kai is, the witches will probably kill him first, rendering lump useless. If he's not killed very soon, the witches are idiots, or Kai is a witch himself, and lump with make him twice as dangerous. As such, I won't choose Kai.

Fenraellis: Very rational and logical, and seemingly non-judgemental/a good choice. However, I have a feeling that Fen (for short) from tinyhunt, poses too much of a threat for witches to remain alive (Especially if the angels are going to put priority to protecting Kai or something.) So I'm not going with Fen.

Zeitgeist: Ah darling Zeit. Just as potentially dangerous as the other two, but my feelings of suspicion seem to be incorrect the last time, so I actually won't mind giving Lump to you, but if you're going to give it to Castiel/lurk I might as well choose another person.

Vira: You're so confusing that I can't know for sure how to read you, so I won't be giving Lump to you since you're so slippery I feel unsafe trusting you. I'm sorry. You are no doubt extremely competent.

Ashaya Ashaya, you were the first to volunteer yourself, and I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but your scummy reputation didn't exactly give you a good impression. However, I actually won't mind giving lump to you because it raises a level of watchfulness on you if you're witch (Unlike Kai and Fen, who I feel people might trust just base on previous experience, and I trust both of them too, but I dislike having blind spots)

Last but not least, Klackerz, you have proved to be semi-competent in the SW game and seem a decent Auror for DE, but since you don't want the lump (Like what Kai said) So I think I'll not vote for you for now.

Td;lr, Voting Fen, Kai, Zeit, Vira all seem too nicely fallen into place-ish, and Ashaya isn't that high risk, so.

Lump Vote: Ashaya

Edit: Mistyped unlike into unless

 

I don't have time to figure out how to quote so I'll answer Kai's question to me on the priest quickly. The other question, I'll answer after school.

Kai: I feel that its alright for the priest to check whoever gets it. On the plus side, the priest gets to see if the person with lump is good or evil. If the return is good, then priest knows that town is safe. And if the return is evil, the town knows it and can neutralise the danger posed by the witches having an extra lump vote.

On the minus side. It'd be approximate to wasting a potential check on a more suspicious/dangerous player. Unless the player with lump happens to be such a player.

But I feel its alright. After all, a dangerous player with lump seems like the more immediate danger to me.

 

I'd feel safer with Fens having the Lump vote to be honest...

Vote Lump: Fen

Also, I think that unless the priest has any sort of leads he wants to investigate (a lot of times they don't) They might as well investigate the lump person first, rather then just random check someone.

So, best roles except the Priest... I'd say Vigilante, Acolyte, and Judge

 

Judge, as they can help move things along when people get stuck arguing.
Vigilante, same deal as above.
Pope. If they survive to the end, that role can make all the difference.

But really, a lot of the roles can be very helpful. Shocked that you said Acolyte, though, jwlk. I think of it as the most pointless, besides the Dancer.

 

For the 3 most important roles beyond the priest? I'd have to go with Judge, Vigilante, and Spiritualist.

KaiDASH: I find you suspicious. Lungs plays the same way in mafia-variant games whether he is a villager or a big bad. It seems overly risky to give him Lump. When you add that to your fishing expedition from earlier on...I find you suspicious.

 

^ He voted him off... to lynch him. Not give him lump..

I guess its safe to assume they're not working together.. >_>

Also, the Acolyte knows who the priest is... I think thats pretty important... A lot can be done with that information

 

Ok my top 3 non priest roles in no major order

1. Vigilante - Being able to publicly confirm that 2 innocents have been lynched in a row is pretty big. Killing suspect people is pretty nice too.
2. Detective - You can catch witches in lies since you know who was what role (provided they got lynched or otherwise died during day). Also, you can get into the minds of players after they die and try to work out what they wanted done! Very useful.
3. Acolyte - Knowing who the best town role is, is just SO SO huge.

Kens: I voted Ashaya for Lump. Lungs is a deadline vote :|

 

1. I am surprised to find you picked my three for the same reasons. So I will understand where your coming from when you post? Not very clear on how answers to that question can help a person in this game.

2. If there was such a clear choice to be made, there wouldn't be a tie for me to break in the first place. In reality, I would have two scum like people to choose from and one would be just as likely as the other to my eyes. So yes I would do the coin flip.

 

I am still trying to wrap my head around the game mechanics, compared to "Death Eaters" this is pretty complex. From what I understand so far from the Lump vote I would like to, understandably, give it to myself. But that wouldn't be of any use. Right now two people are most likely going to get it.

Ashaya turned out to be a death eater in the last game I played so I am wary of her, and Fen was an Auror(?) in another game I was following... therefore,

Lump Vote: Fenraellis

 

I would say the Judge and Vigilante for similar reasons as Ashaya listed. Getting a vote through when no one can decide, and getting a confirmation of mis-lynch, can be quite useful.
One difference, is that while I agree that the Pope is good at the end of the game, I would consider the Detective, though new for this game round, theoretically more useful during the course of the game.(KaiDASH explained it well.) The only downside being that revealing themselves would get them killed most likely, so it's a tough choice between an early reveal(if they find out the Priest, Judge, or some similarly important role(s) are dead), and waiting until near the end, where the chances of them dying by then increase per day.


p.s. Ashaya, choose an avatar and stick to it already.
p.p.s. @Necrule: If it's anything like Zeitgeist last game, the questions are supposed to be an attempt to, as Kensington mentioned, 'fish' out certain tendencies, trying to catch up a Witch. Some people also tried to use their answers to give clues about their Pro-town roles.

 

Not good reasoning at all for handling anything in this game. I don't see how anything from other games transfers to this one.... Don't base anything on prior games, its not good strategy, and it doesn't work.

 

That just makes me want to change it again! Besides, I was Mew for ages. I can't decide between this one and like 2 others, though

In response to Castiel, that's a stupid reason. I have been innocent in 3/4 games I've played. The only one in which I was guilty was the first.

Also. I can't wait for the night to come upon us, so that I can see who is killed. This game is going to be so awesome.....unless I'm killed.
Please don't kill me ;__;

 

...new post, since people posted while I was editing:

---
I might as well get a vote in too, while I'm at it. Since it seems like the only viable alternative:
Lump Vote: Ashaya

If a reason is needed, than I'll say that Ashaya is relatively skilled, and while her moderate push for Lump could be a bluff-play, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Castiel, she may have been a Death Eater then, but she was a Judge(albeit a mostly dead one) last game. That, and unless it's a bluff too, her role is self-admitted to be a non-major Town loss if the Witches do end up killing her early as a result. If it comes to it, than a check could always be called into order. Altogether, it appears to me, as stated, to be a viable alternative.

 

I guess the reasoning is quite flawed but whatever. I had to vote for one of you, I couldn't really decide. I went with whatever reasoning I could find.
