    Lyrium: The priest is 100% town and the inquisitor has a 69% chance of being town. Priest checks also happen to be far more valuable than inquisitor checks. Therefore, it's better to waste a fairly useless Inquisitor check and hope that at least one of the jester and inquisitor are town (90.5% chance), than it is to waste a Priest check.

    The IRC witch hunt game I played, Inquisitor was scum. It also makes sense in terms of balance. Town has one person who checks alignment, having two would mean that mod has to give witches some sort of "balancing" powers. I imagine that witches would want\need some sort of role checker as they holy hunt.

    Klackerz, opinions on the GD claiming or anything else?

    Fontisian\Bill on the scum trading roles. Wouldn't having less info about the GD for example while they are pre-game chatting be beneficial to town?

    I'm also interested in who gave Titus the bomb and why. I have my suspicions based.

    Really need to read Witch Hunt 3 since a couple of you are from there.

    Lyrium, every role except for priest and acolyte is randomly distributed between town and the witches. Also, inquisitor doesn't check alignment.

    I don't see why a gravedigger claim would effect scum trading roles unless one of them was the gravedigger.

    Hmm I think the gd should claim now . I don't think anything bad can happen to gd if they claim.

    And it may also stop some witch plot if the apprentice is a witch.

    Typing on my mobile sucks. Getting ninjaed.

    I just want to know who's going to be digging me up in (by my estimate) two Days. That's all.

    Also, only one answer. Tut Tut scum, you're slipping here.

    Which witch is which!?

    Poor Fonti, trying to be serious while dealing with Lyrium/Ika. Tbh I don't understand why you want the GD to claim, yet. We have no idea if he or she is scum or town, and the same can be said about the apprentice. Mind elaborating a bit, Fonts?

    So much GD talk. So little reveal.

    I feel bad for the GD, getting pressured right from the start when they very likely don't know who to trust.

    Blab: Why would I link a game talking about theory similar to this setup instead of one talking about the more complex Love and War setup?

    Why is Titus scum?

    Unfortunately I'm not a witch. I still don't comprehend the GD claim, and using statistics like 4/13, apprentice shenanigans, and meta from another site isn't all that convincing. So explain it to me in a way I can see more pros than cons for town.

    We get info that we can hold someone accountable for. It makes it harder for scum to perform fake calim shenanigans. How about that?

    :/ and if scum decide fuck it yolo and shoot a possibly town GD? There is also the fact that if scum have the apprenctice and shoot the town Gd, they just gained one of the only info roles. This plan seems risky tbh.

    Eh, I had that link in my cache, I am pretty sure you linked me it, so I was pretty sure you wanted to link that again with what Bill said.

    Titus is scum because of her entrance.
    ika is going to back me up. Right? right?

    apprentice knows his target anyway, Lucky.

    Are we still in pre-game?

    Apprentice if town should choose GD and if scum should choose Judge. Right?

    The Gravedigger was shot night 2 in 9-2 on fantasystrike. It didn't hurt gameplay, beyond us believing one lynched guy was scum more strongly than we should have (to be fair, he was doing an incredible imitation).
