Gah, just posted a rather long response and the forum errored out on me, fantastic!
.
General jist:
Not liking the questions is fine, they're obscure, they don't in themselves give out much information and the second question which is essentially: would you take what your offered or form a mafia sized group to kill your gran was a joke. I was more interested in seeing the reaction to them being asked than the answers, at least in some way. The first question is meant to cover the usual 'How many games have you played / have you played before' for the people who don't have it in their sigs. Feeling the questions give no information and disliking them? Fine.
The quote you've given from BBmolla is something I had noticed and was going to bring up - It's a scummy statement to make. I don't know right now, nor did i when i started my focus on BBmolla whether or not he is scum, he could well be town and if he flipped town later in the game someone reading back on this may feel my case on him was scummy simply because he's town but i'm not scared to push the ideas because of my alignment, I'm certainly not going to rush into getting him lynched until there's a decent case - or at least one that's better than anything on anyone else.
I'm pretty sure someone would answer them the same regardless of role. A townie is not going to respond in a way that makes them look scummy and neither will a mafioso.
Who do you think is going to be more scared of appearing scummy BBmolla? We need to find a slip up somewhere, how do you suggest we do that, if not for random questions, random votes and discussion? So far what i have on you is the following: You've answered something to not appear scummy and you're not willing to push someone.
You say you don't want to see a random Lynch (as all town don't and even scum to an extent) but at the start of the game there is little information, this IS discussion, now where from here? Any questions for anybody? Anything you'd like someone to clarify? you need to look with the rest of us or we'll run out of leads.
Don't worry, you're no where close to being hammered right now. The problem with a no-lynch is that if we do that, the scum get a free night kill, when we should be using this day to create something.
If we lynch a scum member, we can look at who they buddied with / went against for more information
If we lynch a townsperson we can look at who pushed for that, who seemed to go with it but without adding to it / looking else where and generally who didn't seem to naturally believe the case.
We lose neither way vs a no lynch in my mind, since we get information. If we didn't have that, the scum could just kill off the least interactive player and we'd have no leads going into day 2, basically being in the same situation as now with slightly better odds.
