This kind of roleplaying is scummy. I understand you're new to the game and don't have an inherent problem with RPing in a game to have fun, but I do have an issue with RPing to cover that you have nothing to say about the game.

Pretty unhelpful and vague response to the survey, especially since his claims look kinda similar to the role I have but he should have a LOT more to say/add. This kind of surface-level/zero input role to me says a scum fakeclaim not an actual soldier’s abilities.

Couple that with the fact he’s kind of claiming to have a very similar role to me, I’m double suspicious.

I don't know how it 's even possible to argue a "he's scum because he's like me" accusation. With 25 people playing on each side, there's not going to be 100% unique types

I am looking forward to fireworks once alcohol becomes seriously involved itt today. I've been mainly lurking because my kids are out of school so I have had so little time to my own thoughts. But relatives will come today and I will have much time to join the jostling, starting now:

Venom, how did you come to the conclusion such a large game wouldn't have at least a few mainly vanilla roles? That leap of logic seems really suspicious to me, at this point in time

Votes generate discussion which generates cases which lead to executions that succeed based on the quality of the cases they are based upon.

Voting also forces scum to vote to fit in which in turn provides opportunities to expose their fake suspicions when they fail to compare to real ones.

In short it is bad for the town that so many town players have not voted, because that fosters an environment where scum players do not need to risk themselves by voting.

Don't let this stop you from enjoying your new year's, but also don't pretend you had enough time to read my post and complain about it but not enough time to hash hash vote somebody sometime in the last two days.

I call people out for not voting in every game.

Also we're literally competing against another thread full of town players who I would like to win against, so I would like this thread to have better discussion than they do. This should be an incentive for everybody to bring their best to this game btw.

Yes, which is why I am suggesting more people vote, so that we can advance discussion past the question of whether having discussion is good (it is) and toward who or what we should be discussing.

The fact is that right now anyone who has jokevoted is already in the top half of thread contributors, regardless of how good or bad their vote was. This is a problem if you are actually interested in catching scum.

well this game has been open for two days(?), and there's still not a lot of votes. It's not like the day will end if everyone votes so people should throw them around so we can get an clearer assessment of who they think are suspicious (at least not so much that we will actually get a majority lynch).

Ma Ferguson was considered an anomaly by historians in years to come, even more so than being the first female governor warranted. She stood staunchly against prohibition despite being a teetotaler herself (though recently-unearthed journals seem to hint that this no longer held true in her later years) which contributed a great deal to Texas' preeminence in the new world of Shine. Any leader wise enough to see which way the wind was blowing could easily tell that Shine would be the new way of the world, like it or not.

Now, her equally controversial views on prisons and pardons - that's a story for another time.
