  • You may also vote to end the day without a lynch (nolynch).
  • The majority occurs when more than half the players votes someone (or nolynch).

What we are going to do is crack this game wide open from the inside out.

We will do that by a series of claims, and I will explain each step as we go along.

For the first step, the
1-Shot Bulletproof
, if one exists, needs to claim right away, as in
your next post needs to contain either a claim of 1-Shot Bulletproof or "Not BP"
. Do not claim ANY OTHER role at this time!

Reasons
:

1) Scum often attempt to fakeclaim bulletproof. By claiming early, your claim has maximum credibility and take that avenue away from Scum in the later game.

2) Although it does not technically confirm the player as town due to the possibility of a Jailkeeper only setup, the lack of a counterclaim gives the bulletproof townie considerable leverage because scum fakeclaiming bulletproof have terrible odds at doing so successfully.

3) If there is no Bulletproof Townie, that information will help us in the next phase of breaking the game.

Now this is important, so pay attention...


If there is a bulletproof claim, there are three roles that can counterclaim it - bulletproof, cop, and doctor.

If you are the real bulletproof or a cop, the correct way to counter a fake bulletproof claim is simply to say, "I counterclaim.", regardless of which of those two you are.

If you are a doctor, wait until everyone else has refused to counterclaim before you speak up! Ideally, the cop will counterclaim and you can stay in the shadows protecting them.


-----

If there is no bulletproof claim, the next step is
Tracker
claim.

The reasons for Tracker will be provided when the time comes. Do not claim your role early!
It is imperative that every player be honest in every step of this process!
This is not the time to be cute or gambit.

Doctor
,
Cop
, &
Jailkeeper
WILL NOT be called upon to claim.

Lies will be treated as a scumclaim.


Note for the IC
: Please refer to Newbie 1775 for an example of this plan in action. Your support is greatly appreciated.


I claim NOT BP.

Not BP.

For the newbies, this is a newer strategy that has come about thanks to RadiantCowbells. There are good and bad points to it but RC has that outlined in the game Grey linked so I won't hold you up with that.

Now, usually we start our games with RVS, which stands for random voting stage. This is where we vote someone initially for a silly reason (could be as a joke on their name or related to a past game). Someone usually tries to get reads out of this and the game moves forward into the serious stuff.

Ideally we don't want to spend much time discussing this strategy rather than just following through with it. There's no point discussing much about the claim either; you either CC or you don't as per what Grey posted.

As your IC I am required to answer all questions you have about theory to the best of my knowledge as truthfully as possible. This does not mean that I am necessarily town, as I am also a player in this game just like you are. That said, many people have differing opinions on theory. What I say might not necessarily be how you, the SEs, or even the other ICs who play feel is the correct theory. In that case I encourage you to present your viewpoint, but would rather leave major theory debates for post-game, as it can get in the way of scumhunting quite often in newbies. I'll make a note of the discussion to follow up at that time, but for the game in that sense we'll agree to disagree, and you guys can choose whichever you feel is right to test out as we play, since experience is often a good learning method.

With that out of the way...
VOTE: Grey
Didn't RVS after his wall, always draws scum when we play together.

VOTE: Grey
Cause you made it impossible to do last game.

Quick note. I'm in the fantastic situation of living on a friends couch just now so all posts are phoneposts. So formatting and autocorrect are my enemies.
