Its only real use in town's hands is a ballsy person who thinks they can hit scum early and often, or if the player with it acts as pawn for the rest of the town (i.e. uses the cpr doc as a second lynch - which is fraught as well but has some potential upside). It is however a great scum role, especially if no one knows who has it. If it's pick #1, and pick #2 is roleblock, then like I and toad said #2 roleblocks the cpr doc, and the doc can confirm that he was roleblocked, meaning both of those roles are locked down unless we decide to use them later on for some reason. CPR Doc would work well in town hands if we have a lot of discussion down D1. It would at least give them enough analysis to make an educated guess and act on it. | ||

So how about this, we deny the role by having CPR on the the pick list, and then we have the assigied RBer RB em till we are sure of alignment. Should the first lynch drop vanilla, we Doc the CPR so copycat becomes a non issue. The only hole with this plan is if both the roleblocker and CPR end up in Mafia hands, whitch is highly unlikely. What if mafia gets RB but not CPR? | ||

Protection roles are every bit as valuable as information or killing roles. You shouldn't only be looking to take medic/jailkeeper if you are low on the list. If you are higher on the list and feel comfortable with the role, or you are worried that the role will not be picked/ the role will be sniped early, grab it higher up! Having those roles in the game is very important for continuing to slow down the night killing. They are not low-tier roles. Agreed. Personally I'm really comfortable playing as Doc, and if I'm not one of the top five (haven't played a power role in forever so I'm interested in those as well) I might snatch that or jailkeeper up. | ||

Anyweiz, I'm wondering how good a doctor/jailkeeper would be for mafia. Seems like a really interesting concept, at least for blocking SK's shots. And JK would have a field day with all the blues. | ||

I could see politician as a big player when the numbers are next to even. Or if a scummy-looking town is pulled to vote for a town candidate. Actually people can create a lot of havoc with that, claiming politician changed their vote. | ||

I think jailkeeper would be odd though in the early game. Since generally you'd have a greater chance of blocking a blue than a red until we have a good picture of who everyone is. It's like shooting someone in the foot and then patching up the wound. The flip side to this is being able to roleblock the SK's bulletproof and having vigs/CPR/mafia take him out. | ||

Next question - Why would Hider be an important defensive role? From my point of view it seems like an information role or a role that defends others would be much more important. The only use I could see for Hider is an active/veteran player being able to voice his opinions without getting shot. | ||

If I were SK which toad belives there is a decent chance I am I would never had put myself this high on the draft because highdraft's are likelier to get killed. But SK is invulnerable at night. All you would have to do is play town, generally blend in, and you could have a field day. | ||

If you got the role, claim it and don't use it. If nobody claims the role, I'm going to have to assume it went to an anti-town player. Why would you kill one of your own just so the copycat can get the same role? Makes no sense. | ||

I would say that if scum have a copycat there are prolly more scums in the lower end of the draft. If they were high up they'd rather go for guaranteed power roles like decon did or try to deny town of powers. Either way I'd reckon the copycat is in the bottom ten of the draft. | ||

Anyways. I am Vanilla Town and not Janitor. So I'm claiming either risk or marvel is the janitor. And I don't trust risk. Because risk does not like the plan. | ||

Sentinel: Why are you not voting risk.nuke? Sorry for lateness. I was leaning risk but I wanted to make sure it was him and not marv. Since I'm vanilla and it seems like the possibility more and more as time goes on, risk it is. ##Vote: risk.nuke | ||

By claiming VT, if he is janitor, he at least has a chance to survive until the night and hide the flip and whatever information that might contain. That's how I see it. How about claiming the fucking Janitor? I wouldn't put two people under fire, I'd just sweep it under the rug and still play a VT game without consequence. Risk and marv already said neither one chose Janitor, are they going to suddenly claim they have it after I made my claim? That would make them look worse than they do now.

I've had to many experience with scum succesfully averting their lynches by just disapearing. Guess who has to leave about four hours before the lynch. Anyways, I believe marv. Because there is literally no explanation why he would claim mason of all roles as scum. Which makes it risk.nuke's turn to get up on the noose. Anyways, I think more people should listen to toad. He has an excellent point on why all the votes on me are stupid. + Show Spoiler + On May 19 2012 01:17 Toadesstern wrote: Well I still disagree with the situation that we have to lynch into one of the three but at least that sentence is worth a fucking medal. Finally I feel like I'm not the only one realizing what's going on (Palmar and Sandro know what's going on as well but Sandro somehow ended up saying "Sent CAN NOT BE MAFIA, therefore we lynch him" which I don't understand) but sadly you have to show people that they are wrong by lynching the mod-confirmed townie and shove his green head up their way and yell "SEE?!?! SEEE?!?!?!". Sad thing that's how tl mafia works these days, so let us lynch the townie today and start off d2 anew with everyone realizing how stupid this lynch was. That way people might consider something else. If people are willing to lynch into someone with the reason "at least he WILL (!) flip VT". not even giving him a good chance to flip mafia, there's really not much to say about this that could change peoples opinion. It's not getting any more obvious, ever, and we'll have to go through with this at this point... | ||

If risk claimed that he was the janitor then it would be assumed that you were both telling the truth and that you were both town aligned. Noone would be arguing anything. You seem to have forgotten that you're claiming to have attempted to get the Janitor role but ended up as VT. I think you misread my post. I'm addressing the scenario where we both claim Janitor. I'd like other people besides Sentinel to weigh in since obviously if he's mafia there's no point just the two of us going back and forth. | ||
