Personally, it doesn't help us that much... it all depends on the position you are.
I'm also pretty sure in the sign up thread someone mentioned they hope someone picked doc this game, thereby stating that no bugger did in the previous game. (I can sorta see why, why be a role where you "might" die through use... you need some way of planning how you will run things).
Thus, it's not necessarily true that pro-town will definitely pick those roles.
In fact, to be honest, it all depends on how the scum team have decided to do things, to what they'll have picked. They know town will expect them to pick Janitor/Redirector/Role Cop... so why pick them? They could just go after decent (though perhaps not as strong) town roles instead. Stuff like Bomb, Backup, Weak Doc etc. will benefit scum still, purely by preventing town having those roles.
I think basing the game around what roles are more likely to be scum/town is a sure fire way of town losing badly.-

For some reason, I don't think that's the route scum would take. I think taking roles that would benefit them while at the same time might look protown, might be more favorable then taking roles that are of little use to them, but put town at a disadvantage. Roles like Even/Odd Night Vig and janitor might be able to put a protown spin, therefore I think those would be likely roles for scum.PranaDevil wrote:Personally, it doesn't help us that much... it all depends on the position you are.

Yeah, but it's already been widely discussed about why those roles are likely to be taken by scum, clever scum would have spotted that and gone with lesser roles that could be much, much more useful.
Things like weak doc, neighborizor, Bomb would be hugely beneficial to scum, as the Bomb would take out any vig who managed to NK them, neighborizor prevents clever town making most use of it, weak doc means they can just "protect" someone and know they wont die. Janitor... well all scum could do with that is sit on it, same with the vigs (as once they're known, they have to use them as we tell them, or try and get out of doing it in some fashion).
But this speculation really gets us nowhere to be honest, as until we mass claim it's unneeded info. What is needed is a lynch on manho.-

To me, it looks like you guys are getting into a WIFOM argument here. It's not really helping. Many of the roles could be useful to either side, and each side could put just about any role to use for a variety of reasons, so I don't think arguing about which side would be more likely to take a role is all that important.-

Well yeah, but I still strongly suggest giving it a day or two to get the most out of the other roles, after all, scum using vig kills any nights prior to a claim are guarenteed to be caught out with it when they're made to claim anyway. Town would be more inclined to hold back to use it when needed most.-

This sentence confuses me. Do you mean that if a townie is a vig, then he won't kill unless he's sure? Because that's not the case.PranaDevil wrote:Well yeah, but I still strongly suggest giving it a day or two to get the most out of the other roles, after all, scum using vig kills any nights prior to a claim are guarenteed to be caught out with it when they're made to claim anyway.Town would be more inclined to hold back to use it when needed most.
I think that if we wait until tomorrow to massclaim, then we should either direct the vig, or we should instruct him not to kill at all.Show"You're a silly Pom. Silly silly girl." -Fate

I sniffed Zang and I'm not getting that fresh townie smell.Paraphrasing a role PM takes seconds, fabricating a good fakeclaim takes an eternity.

I think that if we wait until tomorrow to massclaim, then we should either direct the vig, or we should instruct him not to kill at all.
However, I do agree that we should still direct the vig attack tonight, but without a mass claim, with or without mass claims, we can direct the vig attacks really, as if they don't roll with what town as a whole wishes then they are obviously scum still.
Question is, how do we decide who we "as a town" think should be vig'd? Vote for it would be the best idea to me. It essentially gives us 2 votes per day phase as a town that way.
