Scum Board: Night Zero

[patricia]

Bill - should we try for him tonight? Maybe the doc won't protect him if he/she has doubts

[billmc]

That's the "obvious" play - if there is a town watcher, they will be watching idle

[tld]

If there is another doc

[tld]

Also, we have one kill that'll go through a block. The question is whether we actually want to use that right now. The question is also, since I don't know him at all, how are the chances of convincing him to try winning with us?

[tld]

I could go for him. If there's a doctor I'll still kill him and if there's a watcher, well tough luck but after having used my one time kill I am the most expendable of us

[tld]

Also, after that Bill should do the killing and Pat should start getting cover roles right away. Never know when they'll come in handy. Witch of the North will have good cred after today's claim

[tld]

In fact, why not go all in?

I'll kill idle, it'll go through any protection. Tomorrow patricia claims watcher right away and says she has seen me doing the kill. No one will question that because, as you pointed out, watching idle is the logical choice. I get lynched. Pat get's massive town cred and will investigate as town as well. I don't see us losing this game after that unless there's a big screwup of some kind.

I would like to play but I'd also like to win and I also like the ballsy approach of simply busing one of us after nigh 1.

based on normal play on idlemafia - 3rds pretty much never side with scum. In Story's game that just finished, there were 10 3rd parties - none of them chose to side with the scum.

The all in plan sounds like a decent idea - tho if there is a town watcher - then patricia cant claim that; she'd have to claim tracker and say she picked you at random. The additional challenge is that she;d need to produce accurate results for subsequent nights - tho she could claim blocked each night - as long as there is not a town watcher.

[patricia]

Sounds very pro active, maybe TLD could talk himself out of a lynch if idle is what he claims, and for sure if he is PFK as I guessing. I think keeping him around is bad for either side

[patricia]

do you think we could pick which cover role we want? I would make sense for one witch to go after the other

[tld]

I think we'll get them at random but maybe SisC can confirm?

Well, even if there is a town watcher if patricia claims first and then accurately catches the scumbag killer (me) people would have no reason to doubt her claim. There could be more than one watcher or the second person claiming watcher could be lying.

Tracker is tougher, because results cannot be faked so easily. A watcher can always say that nothing happened to their target (unless it ends up dead the next day which they'll see before they have to give away their results).

And sure, I will still try to talk myself out of it by claiming something like a one shot vig who was afraid of idle's claim after you out me but it's better for us if I get lynched. You need me to flip scum.

[billmc]

Ok, if you want to go with that plan - then i'm good with it

[sistercoyote]

The roles will be delivered in the order they are listed in patricia's PM.

And Bill, I think the only preview is the little tab at the bottom right of the full reply screen.

[patricia]

Ok how to I post in green?
