Favorite Role - Playing

[Ircher]

Which role is your favorite to play as and why? (Note: You can select up to 3 on the poll.)

[MarioManiac4]

I put Jailkeeper.
I really like it as a role. It's very versatile and has defensive and offensive uses. It takes scumhunting but you can also make good plays with it.

[mhsmith0]

VT, Vig, Jailkeeper are all fun.

[mastina]

Cop-Doctor-Mason.
Hands-down, my best games have always been one of those three roles.
Though I'd maybe replace one of the three with 'Miller' if that were an option.

No joke!
Miller is one of my favorite roles to be, because forcing the scum to nightkill you when you've been a claimed miller since D1 is awesome. (And it can and does happen.)

[Titus]

My favorite roles are roles that look like they should be one alignment and work the other way, ir play to my skill base. My favorite role of all time did both. It's below.

Titus - Apple

Student of Warfare (Allied Unification Army)

Leave it to me.

You can't overcome this war just by getting stronger. Twice per day, you may write a message to any another player. She used to be a strategist, but now she is making way for new blood. Once per game, you may use this power. I will lock the thread and give everyone 24 hours to submit a vote to me. When the thread unlocks, each vote will take effect at once. I am prepared. You win the game when all threats to the Allied Unification Army has been defeated and at least one Allied Unification Army player is alive

[Gamma Emerald]

I haven't played a lot of roles yet so I can't really say

[Randomnamechange]

vig is fun bc you get to kill people, then mason and neighbourizers as i like hoods

[Ankamius]

Vig fits my style the best.

I catch things most people don't and I suck at convincing people I'm right.

Who would love to play as a Fruit Vendor?
Glorified push of the button VT.

scum fruit vendor if you have information can be fun if you pull off some cool plays with it + a fakeclaim, but in general its pretty boring.

[Firebringer]

I one day want to make an argument why if you love VT, you hate fun.

How can you like a role so basic and uninteresting?

Because you get to enjoy scumhunting in its purest form.

[Firebringer]

You can do that as any power role.
Anyone playing VT differently than they would PR is playing wrong.

As VT you want to be the nightkill. As PR you must avoid it.

[Firebringer]

What you want doesn't equal what town needs.

I think PR and VTs should both make themselves viable kill targets regardless.
Too many PRs play intentionally scummy just to not get killed and then they out themselves anyways and get lynched

PRs shouldn't really make themselves viable kill targets. It really depends how useful and confirmable your PR is.

[Firebringer]

not being viable kill makes you mislynch bait.
Mislynching a PR is much worse than having PR die at night.
So you shouldn't be mislynch bait.

this isn't accurate

this isn't accurate

Scum only kill people 90% of time because they think they can't lynch them.

eh
most of the time I kill people because
a) accurate reads
b) PR (this is what PR's have to watch out for. Don't stand out too much but don't be too PR either)
c) aggressive player

there is a variety of reasons why people can die

[MarioManiac4]

and there's definitely a ground between "NK bait" and "Mislynch bait"

[Wisdom]

VT.
No pressure about how to use my role, just scumhunting until I bait the nightkill.

[LlamaFluff]

Probably shouldn't be too surprising that the generally anti-town vig is the favorite role... but it still somehow always is.
