Mod:
A clarification on the rules.... since you say "all
players with night choices must send me a list of all
their targets for the entire game," can we safely assume that there are ZERO night choices that can be switched or decided upon mid-game?I have to say, I think that a lot of this strategic list-making hubbub is really pointless. And that's why I proposed making a random list to begin with. I've already thought of a mafia kill strategy that mitigates the usefulness of a Doctor role (other than possibly a lucky strike or a single Doctor strategy which I don't find likely to be employed), the Watcher claim could theoretically be prevented through the use of a Mafia Roleblocker or some such similar role. The "measures to prevent against claims" bit could be something like a one-shot Mafia Daykill (which would
NOT
be a night choice and, could potentially be decided at any point in time).Point being, we have no idea what we're up against. While the scums are somewhat in the dark, too, they obviously have *WAY* more information than we do. Does anybody else remember the lengthy discussion that dominated the beginning of Lights Out 2 and ultimately led to virtually nothing useful being accomplished? It revolved around the fact that the game was non-mountainous, that rainbow brite said she'd taken steps to prevent game-breaking strategies, and then a bunch of town players kept trying to break the game... such as when Stoof made his ill-advised claim.
I think all I've gotten out of this is that LML is almost definitely town. Other than that, I really doubt I'll care if I have a role ability. I'd just pick my targets as best as I thought I could, on a complete whim, and see how things fall out.
This game is going to be won or lost on the strength of our day play, not on the strength of the night choices we choose.
I would suggest that we all keep that in mind and not put too much focus on our lists.
