[Good day, newlings. Jim has a fantastic opening speech for these games, so I won't go into much detail right now.]
[You may note that I'm speaking in square brackets. This is my personal choice to indicate that I'm speaking to you as an
IC and not a
player. Anything I say in brackets you can take to be straight advice that is not biased by game information.]
[We here at Bay12 start off the day in the RVS phase. Here you randomly vote a player and throw out some questions to get discussion started. This continues until some player spots something, anything suspicious in an answer, and the questions shift from random (yet game-related) questions to questions about behavior in the current game. You may find it helpful to ask questions that could become relevant later in the game. I.e. if you ask a player what they would do in situation X as town, and that situation comes up later in the game and they do something different, you may be able to refer back to your RVS question when building a case on that player.]
[Absolutely don't be afraid to ask questions. This is the most appropriate time and place to be asking questions. Keep active, moderate your humor, and if you edit your post I will fuck you with a shovel.]
I'd like you to answer those questions, king.
[Try to come up with your own content/questions. If this wasn't a beginner's game, you would have been dragged over the coals already.]
Yarr! Avast, ye heretics!
Suck it, scumbucket. [Please note, Dariush is not playing. Do not feed the Dariush.]
Q1: The less scummy one.
The less scummy one what,
markressler?
In a beginner's game, I'd gladly ride someone else's coattails to glory, not to mention the learning experience it would provide.
[And you'd get lynched for it long before victory.]
All this questions make me feel like I'm less than a newbie, haha.
[Your first game(s) will likely be horrible. The ICs are here to help make sure your non-beginner's games won't be.]
[Most people in RVS will ask between one and four questions per post. I'm going to tag everyone just for the sake of getting everyone involved.]
Nerjin: It's D2 and you're a cop. You got a town result on someone last night. You do not know if there are any other power roles. There are seven players left including yourself. Do you claim your result today?
wsoxfan: It's N1 and you're a doc. Your top scumpick was lynched, and you have pretty poor reads on everyone else. Re-reading through the thread, what do you look for to help you decide who to protect?
Kamin: It's 3-player LYLO, and you're a vanilla townie. Both remaining players have claimed they're the doc. Neither claim has any obvious holes in it. How do you decide who to trust?
kingfisher1112: You're scum, and your scumbuddy is telling you that he's reasonably sure the person voting him (who he is voting for already) is the cop. You have reason to believe there is a doc in the game. Do you risk being called on chainsawing to mislynch the cop, or try to take him out at night?
markressler: You're a cop who hasn't claimed. You're in 3-person LYLO. You have inspected both remaining players as town. How do you decide which to lynch? Also, do you claim?
vodot: It's D2, and you're a cop. The person who you inspected as scum is tied with another player in votes. Do you claim?
Wrex: It's D2, and you're a doc. Your protect was not triggered last night. You're tied with another player in votes. Do you claim?
Jim Groovester: Did you ever think that newbie from BM27 would be ICing with you in a future game? Also, if you were a godfather and there was a guaranteed cop in the game, would you modify your gameplay?
PPE:
Shakerag-it's day 4. There are two people besides you left. One is not scummy, but a person who was voting him was nightkilled. The second player seems scummy, and you were voting him in the last round. Who would you vote for? (essentially, if you were in Hapah's position in the endgame of BM XXXIV, what would you do?)
Something that wouldn't get me smacked upside the head with a shovel. By that I mean that I would be doing what any good player should be doing in LYLO - grilling both of the players left and heavily re-reading the thread to make sure I'm voting scum.
