jilynne1991, you claim to be 13 and your screenname has 1991 in it, forgive me for disbelieving said claim and how it pertains to your play (whether it is cursing, cautiousness, whatever)
Elli, monk has a claim out there that rings true imo. He's probably just badtown.
I haven't yet. And I don't care whether that makes you suspect me.
Hoppster, the only reason I haven't shot you is because I did have a town read on Parama. Your reasoning is terrible and detrimental to town.
We have a limited amount of time to work out enough of what's going on and you running around screaming "Maybe there's a cult!", "What if there's a Jester?",
"Maybe the town wins if we kill the pro-town people"
does nothing to help and everything to hinder. If this was a larger, longer lasting game it would be worth looking into some of those possibilities but in this situation all that will do is add confusion. Because we only have a small amount of time, we have to maximise our use of it.
The first thing you do when attempting to solve a problem that you do not have the means to explicitly solve is to apporximate it as something you can solve. In this case, that is a mini normal game. This involves considering what the best course of action would be in a mini normal at this point, then parameterising it with any set-up knowledge specific to this game. So rather than saying "This is a weird set-up, so maybe no lynch and shooting town are good things for town!", we ask "Are there any known factors in this game that would make not lynching more favourable than lynching?". In this way we can keep our focus as a town and make best use of any information that comes to light.
You're confusing being informed and not freaking out.
My current set-up guesses informed by flavour:
There are no cults or jesters. There is at least one terrorist. Deaths get reset each night. There are no night kills. If we fail to find the terrorist(s) by the end of three days and deal with them the train we're on blows up.
These are guesses. If anyone knows anything to contradict or support anything in this telling us would be helpful to say the least.
Any or none of this being true doesn't change my belief that shooting at anti-town/ lynching is good.
