I guess I'll do green to indicate IC speak too. Early game is challenging to get things going, as you have literally nothing to go on and it's not easy to fabricate good content from the ether.
Generally it's better to ask open ended questions - who, what, where, when, how, why - to get people speaking because they can't just say yes or no in order to answer questions. This doesn't mean avoid questions that will generate a yes/no answer, but you should ask for more when you do ask a question like that, for example, why they think that. You want them to talk about themselves or other players in the game, for the most part. One thing to keep in mind when reading the game is always whether or not something appears to benefit town or scum more.
I'll give a general overview of power roles later, unless IcyTea wants to tackle that before I can be bothered
If y'all have questions about how to play, ask away.

This is a pretty interesting post, man. Lots to dig into. Also, lower-case h
Who said anything about gunning for Tric? It was my/the first post of the game, I wanted to make sure people were aware that they need to post to get anything out of it, whether that be enjoyment or learnin'. I also said the best way to get someone to talk was to vote them... so I did. Why do you think I'm voting him because I "don't like him and his tactics"?
You mention the Executioner role; does it make sense to you for an executioner to immediately vote for their target, during a time in which votes are going to be thrown around a lot?
Your suggestion I'm looking to get an easy kill suggests you don't think Tric's playstyle is good for town suggests that a) you think TricMagic's playstyle is not conducive to finding scum and b) TricMagic is Town. Your reasons for both, please.

Neither of these rules the other one out. Just because something is convenient doesn't mean it's unlikely, and vice versa. Could you give an example of what you mean?

What do you think about piratejoe leaping to your defense so effusively?

Hector13 gunning right for Tric like that would make me think you were an executioner if we actually had one, which we don't. Mind explaining why other than you don't like him and his tactics? Because to me at least, it would make sense if you wanted an easy town kill without worrying about the consequences by saying "He'd do more harm than good" as an excuse.
As for how experienced I am at this, my experience in this game is basically one game on the fourms that died...and a few matches years ago of actual TOS.

IcyTea, I only know they're lying if they contradict themselves, but I suspect any statement that sounds too unlikely and convenient.
Neither of these rules the other one out. Just because something is convenient doesn't mean it's unlikely, and vice versa. Could you give an example of what you mean?
