I have a question about Serial Poisioner sense I've never seen one before. If you block the kill, say with a medic or jailer, do you have to block it the day it would go out, or the next day when it triggers?

Or take that "love potion" and just put it in the drink of anybody you want. Should not be that hard. After that have fun for the next days and you can convince them to do anything.

How fucking uncreative those guys are is what angers me the most about those books/films.

I think they call this date rape... not creativitiy. I want to policy lynch Gonzaw now...

Rainbows said that Raven said it looked fun.

Hey guys, I really don't want to discourage you guys from signing up for a big game at all. I would really recommend shadowing a veteran a time or two before hopping into big games. There really is a completely different dynamic.

I agree to a certain extent since I didn't go this route before hopping into the big games and in some ways am still paying for it.

One of the biggest things to get used to is the fact that many people here on TL Mafia already know each other which creates a certain dynamic in these big games that can be hard to get used to, but since there are a bunch of people joining who have already played a game or two together this may lessen the effect somewhat. Also Geript I would argue that a few of these players are more capable than I (Rainbows at least).
Overall I think the best way to learn is probably just to play and get better but it all depends on how confident you are that you can tangle wit' da big boyz. Personally, I think you guys can handle it but it's up to you.

Yah, I think Rainbows is solid. I know if I had to go back and do it again, I would spend more time shadowing. I'm actually considering taking a break to shadow for a few games.

Thing is, I'm sick of newbie games where half the people don't even play, or just act like scum because they don't know how to contribute. So it's either I try one of the big games or I just stop playing altogether.

Lurking is a problem on every level. In big games there are just more active people to help push the game. The advantage of shadowing is that you get to play along and see how things go and what to look for. Don't let me discourage you from playing if you want to play. I'm just saying that if I had to do it again, I would do it differently. If you don't want to, then jump into the big leagues. Do whatever you want. No biggie.

I think if you're joining a big game to avoid lurkers, you're in for a disappointment.

I'd say try minis instead. Big games can be hit or miss IMO. It completely depends on the time of year and the setup.

During the night of poisoning a roleblock on the SP will stop the attack. Protection does not work here
During the night of the death (one night later) a protection on the target will not protect it.

To clarify: you cannot medic an SP shot, only roleblock.

Normal minis are the better answer, big games often have some level of lurkfest/spamfest. Often, inexplicably, at the same time.

E: my personal advice would be to play out your newbies, the use of coaches is an incredible asset which you can and should use to its fullest extent before removing yourself from those games. Big games are a big change.
