Mini 1724: Scum Thread

[wgeurts]

Welcome randomidget, Sound of Silence and Davsto!

You may use this topic during the day and night.

[Davsto]

Yo

So my role: I'm

Samus Aran

I investigate as town to Cops.

If I take the factional kill, I may choose to make it so that it ignores any blocking or protection abilities (Roleblocker, Doctor, Jailkeeper etc,

Bulletproofs are explicitly not included in this

), but if I do so, the next night I investigate normally, and I can't make the nightkill.

So that's quite interesting. We'll have to be strategic - I am generally mediocre as scum and am likely to be investigated early if there is a Cop so we'll see; if I took the N1 kill the whole investigation thing wouldn't take effect until N2.

[wgeurts]

You may just copy/paste your Role PM's here. That may make things easier.

[Davsto]

Cool.

I take it we have daychat?

[Davsto]

Role PM

Metroid Zero Mission: Samus Aran

Welcome Davsto, you have drawn

Samus Aran

!

The word he so obviously chose, "outsider", pierced my heart.

You return an innocent investigation result if investigated by somebody at night.

Mother... time to go!

During the night you can decide to use your powerful weapons to force a kill to succeed regardless of protection or blocking-abilities (like asectics, roleblockers, doctors, ect. This doesn't include bulletproofs.) if you are taking the factional-kill.
Doing so however drains your suit of charge meaning that the next night, while the suit recharges, you return normal investigation results and you are unable to take the faction-kill.

I can read.

Hi Davsto.

Role PM

Astro Boy Omega Factor: Astro Boy

Welcome Sound of Silence, you have drawn

Astro Boy

!

What? I got machine guns... in my butt?

During the night you can fly up to someone and beat the living daylight of them, thus preventing them from taking any actions they would have taken that night.

I was born ready!

Once this game you may choose to use your special move instead of beating someone up. Your special move prevents every player not aligned with your faction from taking an action that night.

This sounds like a good thing to use after the night I use my superkill thing, since it prevents me from being inspected.

[Sound of Silence]

Yeah. We;ll have to think about the timing of that. A lot of times teams burn up their strongman on night 1, but there may be value to holding onto it for a night. If so, then you could make the kill and we could use our roleblock.

[Sound of Silence]

we're not the only non-town faction, so we can actually scumhunt. Right now, I'm thinking there may not be a traditional town in this game.

randomidget - I think I've played a game with him once. don't remember him
A Simple Plan - haven't played with him
Sound of Silence - Inno Child
Vedith - seems to overload on games and not pay close attention, but also seems to have good instincts for mafia
Davsto - our mason
Knuckles (Hydra of Metal Sonic + Nachomamm8) - strong team. MS will obvtown if he's town. I have good reason to be paranoid of nacho and may capitalize on that
Xtoxm - haven't played with him
Dongempire - haven't played with him
Nosferatu - haven't played with him
grapes - haven't played with him
Peptobislawl - haven't played with him
Starbuck - haven't played with her. she used to play at ms a lot, I'm looking forward to seeing her playstyle
Aj The Epic - experienced player who hasn't been around for a year or so. He likes playing scum. We may be able to sort him with a strong push.


This is ffery, btw. I don't think GiF's awake. And I shouldn't be! It's 2 am my time.

[Davsto]

Of those, I've played with a few, but the only one I've finished a game (and thus can talk about) with was Vedith. We were both town (and I got replaced out D2 oops), so I can't really say much.

Also, how do you know we're not the only non-town faction? The flavour doesn't explicitly say we are, but it also doesn't explicitly say we're not.

Feel free to bus me if necessary, I sure as hell am not going to be the last living scum member because I'm not great at scum yet. However, if I seem to be getting into a lot of suspicion D1, I say we use my Strongman thing ASAP, in case I don't last the next day. Then the night after that (if I survive the day) you use your power, to stop me from being inspected as scum. That's probably the best use of your power.

[Sound of Silence]

yeah. re when to use powers. . re multiball it's just a feeling based on the wording of our wincon, which is why I wanted to see the town wincon.

this game could be role madness.

[Davsto]

Hm, maybe. Our roles do seem pretty OP.

We have a Godfather and a Roleblocker each of which also have a super special ability (mine has negative repercussions after use but is infinite use, yours is 1-shot), so it's definitely role madness. Unsure about multiball though. Town one is always worded like that, Scum one definitely seems worded towards multiball, but our Scumteam doesn't have a specific name, which generally multiball games do. We're just "Scum", not "Mafia" or whatever.

It is role madness, that was in the introduction post in the queue

I'll probably keep my abilities early.

[Davsto]

Oh neat, a JOAT.

I'd recommend using an ability each night, honestly. We're in a Mini which is role madness, I don't expect there to

be

many more than 4 nights.

also

I'm looking closely and there's definitely a pattern with our characters.

Samus, Link, Astro Boy - we're all the main protagonists of our games. This

may

be a coincidence but I don't know.

[Randomnamechange]

I'll probably go cane tonight, then mirror 2/3. If we need to throw somone under the bus go for me as I can red pot.

[Sound of Silence]

Explain?

[Davsto]

A lynch on someone else is still better than a lynch on you with Red Potion, since we get no-one lynched rather than someone who isn't us lynched.

Also, heavily going after someone who revives/can't be lynched is a real associative tell; it gives off the impression that we knew you'd revive.

[Randomnamechange]

Fair point.

[Sound of Silence]

Cashing in

Checking in.

That strongman shot is probably pointless because it doesn't work on BP and based on that warning there IS a BP in the game.

With my little unsure guessing part, whether there's a BP there's most likely a vig too.
