That is only one small sample compared to the vast number of times Scoop has done the "Seer" thing and actually gotten real Seers killed.Remus West wrote:Did you read the last game? triggercut was the one that pushed for Chaosraven to be lynched, Scoop only got him lynched by virtue of triggercut's hard work that way.theohall wrote:Scoop is the one who outs Seers.

Aside: Scoop actually was a Seer for real once over at GT and we killed him for claiming it. Yeah.... we weren't very bright over there.

Scoop is the only one who's actually said anything lynch-able.
Remus I could lynch for betraying the empire.

I was in fact trying to draw a Night 0 kill. Slim odds but what else can I do?
Thankfully, I am a villager this game and therefore I've got no special info to worry about spilling. So, lynching will not kill one if our specials.
Am I lying? Am I actually Westley? Am I evil? Am I pirate? Everything is possible and I've been known to lie.
That said, I've voted for Trig. His silence thus far is deafening.

Regarding Miracle Max though; bb2112 (was it?) brought up something interesting - the Prince Humperdink conversion makes it more difficult to mark players as Trusted just because their roles are outed. But let me ask you then: at which point would it be a good idea for Miracle Max to rez, if not as early as possible? Waiting runs the risk of getting Max converted or killed. And waiting for a Special to get killed is bad for the exact same reasons as you oppose for using it early; said Special could get converted once everyone knows his identity so rezzing that player is equally wasteful.
The benefit of using the rez early is that it nets us a villager, even though we don't get trusted players like in the BSG game.

The benefit of using the rez early is that it nets us a villager, even though we don't get trusted players like in the BSG game.
I am also inclined to lean towards Max using his ability as soon as possible, for the reason you mention: gets us another person, and otherwise it increases the odds that Max could be killed or converted before then. And conversion would be especially bad, as now not only would we not get one villager back, but Team Evil could use him to bring back an Evil person, for a three person swing (get Max + don't get a villager back + get an evil back).
The main argument for saving it is to have it to bring back a special. But generally the special's abilities aren't all that overwhelming (no one-person seer, limited protectors), so I'm not sure that's all that important. Maybe to bring back Fezzik since his protection is more important and since he can't be converted, but I'm not sure how you could be sure that you're bringing back Fezzik.
Of course, this is irrelevant until day 2 anyhow.

Re: [WW] The Princess Bride - Day 1
To be fair, the odds of Team Evil hitting on Max with their conversion is fairly low since they don't have a seer. But that said, it would suck pretty hard if they got lucky on that.
Also Max - don't come out early, and don't make any hints about your role.

Re: [WW] The Princess Bride - Day 1
I'm a little mixed on this Scoop thing, but not going to act on it today.
I will first say that I really sincerely think he just shouldn't do this stuff, period, but - hey - it's a game... and - it's Scoop.
My first reaction was that he was just being scoop.
I can see Scoop being tempted by how declaring a Seer just blows these games wide open, though. I'm left being fairly unsettled as to why, on Night 0, a simple villager Scoop thought that was the best move.... but it's equally odd for any of the evil/pirate players to do. (accept perhaps to get a pirate scan, as "Westley" is/was the DPR)
But it's scoop.
One of these days though, Scoop is going to get wise as to what level of stuff we just let him get away with, and I don't know if he's actually taking advantage of that right now or not.
My leaning on Scoop is basically: 35% (evil/pirate) / 60% Villager / 5% Westley.
If killing him today convinced Scoop to stop pulling this kind of move, I'd do it. I actually am pretty certain it wouldn't.
I've got an entirely unrelated question. Did anyone else read this the way that I did? (it's in bb2112's reply)

How does Max rezzing early help our conversion problem?
And the pirates activate when 1 is found - meaning there is still one more out there that isn't found. We'll never have a clue if/when both are found.

Re: [WW] The Princess Bride - Day 1
They're talking about the potential problem that I mentioned before - if Max were converted before doing his rez, he could use it to bring back a member of Team Evil, which means that they would get an additional person/lynch as opposed to the villagers. That's the "conversion problem" that they're talking about.stessier wrote:Lagom Lite wrote:Yes, that didn't even strike me. Good catch.

Oh, and Max rezzing early helps that problem insofar as he only gets one conversion, so if he is converted afterwards he can't help Team Evil.

Hm. Both good points.stessier wrote:Lagom Lite wrote:Yes, that didn't even strike me. Good catch. Now we DEFINITELY want Max to rez early.coopasonic wrote:Might be worth waiting until after the pirates activate so you know you aren't rezzing someone to become a pirate.Lagom Lite wrote:The benefit of using the rez early is that it nets us a villager, even though we don't get trusted players like in the BSG game.
The conversion prospect is scary.
How does Max rezzing early help our conversion problem?

What about the Ancient Booer? Maybe Max should wait until the Booer finds the Prince - then we lynch the Prince, thus forcing him to use up his conversion. After that, Max (and other roles) can step forward and become trusted. Although the Booer is screwed. But that doesn't matter as she has used up her power anyway.
It's actually a neat rule, this one-time evil conversion. It prevents early mass outings of players-to-be-trusted.

But who knows when the Booer will find the Prince?
Incidentally, and off-topic: didn't the Booer expose Buttercup, not Humperdinck? That's leaving aside the whole issue of her only appearing in a dream.

Also, I think bb2112 accidentally poked an innocent earlier - but no one is listening to me. Do I actually need to choke people before I'm listened to?

Re: [WW] The Princess Bride - Day 1
No, but I've either been a mod or one of the evil converters those times (fellowship of the ring, r.scott). I don't think it's struck me before that conversions prevent mass outings.Unagi wrote:Is this your first game with a conversion in it?Lagom Lite wrote:It's actually a neat rule, this one-time evil conversion.

I'm not sure I'm following you. In his post, he's poking me? Or Remus? And I'm guessing this is suggestive of bb2112 evilitude?Unagi wrote:Is this your first game with a conversion in it?Lagom Lite wrote:It's actually a neat rule, this one-time evil conversion.

Re: [WW] The Princess Bride - Day 1
Looks to me like bb2112 crackin' jokes at Remus expense (trying to get one of the crew offed, because they enjoy seeing one of them die first for some reason) and a wise-ass response from El Guapo - not a "poking the innocent" moment.Unagi wrote:I've got an entirely unrelated question. Did anyone else read this the way that I did? (it's in bb2112's reply)See it?bb2112 wrote:El Guapo, that is what I'm saying. Remus is available to kill, so it is not a hard choice.

IT'S REMUS!! KILL REMUS!!
