Merlin should be used Day 1 if there are no good choices.

king shouldn't follow the majority because the majority just gets manipulated by the mafia

the king should kill who he thinks is scum, not who the "town" thinks is scum

Then it doesn't matter when Merlin is used right?

I see the King as being like a mayor role. He should never do what the town tells him to do. When they agree to conform to the towns will, the mafia will become active and control the decisions the king makes.

The king needs to scumhunt somewhat independently and ultimately make his own decision.

I agree. The king should not roleclaim. This way the mafia can not manipulate the king directly and he can participate in the town discussion without being pushed in a direction intentionally.

Okay. This is going to be quick

Firstly, we need a united town. We need some sort of policy regarding the kings. If we're going to decide to let the king lynch people independently, we cannot make the argument later that 'you should have followed majority'. At the same time, if we force the king to follow majority, the must hold him accountable

And we fear this because the assassins have sercretz mind control abilities </sarcasm>

You are saying that 1) The king is smart enough to make his own decisions. and 2) The king is too easily influenced.

Please clarify


Unless the king is Coagulation I think he should be allowed to scumhunt on his own. most of the players in this game are decent or good.

No I'm not saying the assassins have secretz mind control. But if both get active, they can manipulate the shit out of the town. If they know the king then they can push him directly and put pressure on him directly to do what they want to do.

If they don't the king, then they can't. They have to focus manipulation on the town as a whole which is much more difficult. Honestly just one good scum poster can totally change the direction of a bandwagon. Early game bandwagons are very often directed by scum when the town has no real viable scumtargets, that's why I think the king should act somewhat independently.

If the town doesn't know the king, it doesn't bust their balls at all. At the end of the day, the king is held accountable for what he does and he must reveal himself eventually.

no it's not about taking town control away from the lynches

listening to the "town" 9 times out of 10 is listening to the mafia. the king should not be a robot that does whatever the "town" says, he should of course seriously consider the town discussion

but do you really think the assassins won't manipulate the shit out of bandwagons? the whole point of the king is to take that away from scum

if we just have the king do whatever the town says, we're handing the mafia the power to control our lynches not the opposite

I am the king and I am going to lynch coagulation. He is our worst player and offers little value to the town while he also fits the bill of "inactive"

No one comes off as scummy to me quite yet. I disagree with a lot of what LSB is saying and I don't like the extremity of the conclusions he is drawing but thats not enough.

Hesmyrr is flying a little bit under the radar, kinda parroting points, not really contributing much. I'd consider lynching him over Coagulation if Coag wasn't such a nuisance on both sides of the coin.

I feel bad for Coag though, if this keeps up he'll be day 1 lynch in every game he plays.

It's kinda arbitrary right now. I really wish the king revealed himself early and we went through the strict vote-for-lynch system. Do it any other way and the mafia has way too much sway over what could happen.


And the kingmaker probably didn't even look at the "red"-ness of any player and just chose DrH because he's experienced.

Note that DrH has been a red in every single game except 1 - hopefully you'll consider your choice a bit longer before just insta-choosing an experienced player.

how is me being a red in other games even a point?

thats a pretty shitty attempt at making me look bad. I don't see why it's worth mentioning unless you want to talk about my behavior as mafia vs my behavior as town

please don't pursue a grudge against me like you did in the last game, it clouds your judgment and makes you look bad. this is just metagaming without purpose. if the kingmaker has to choose a king within an hour of the game starting how is he able to make a choice based on "redness"? that's laughable. of course the kingmaker should pick an experienced player lol

oh but i've been red in every game except 1 therefore i MUST be red in this one kingmaker is such an idiot

who should I have lynched instead orgolove? I didn't lynch amber because i thought your arguments were bogus and no one seems to have given any serious dissent to my opinion. although I'm sure with your expert pro-town play you would have surely 100% gotten a red on the first day eh

I tried to lay a little low. I didn't want to claim king because I didn't want to draw attention as Town Hero.

w/e GG guys. makes sense mafia would hit the experienced player! Keep your heads together and stay cool!
