Legitimately it is the starting point to create reads on people. Take the recent vigs mafia, nobody had a single clue who was scum (except Dhaes, lol) until people actually started to play on day 3. I was killed next because I didn't have the energy to fully resist merk's case on me based on that same day (and also because people have apparently forgotten what scum merk looks like, shame on them). If the thread had taken Pecota's advice to start playing Day 2, that might have ended in a town win instead. Scum have the most incentive to push people for votes and lead everyone around by the nose when they can do it without being found suspicious, town otoh has no clue whoscum and is generally guessing so their incentive structure on voting and cases are different. Town has to agree to execute even other town initially because if it doesn't, that just sets town back on time without cementing the kinds of poo poo that make scum stand out and also cementing whether someone who was passionately trying to get someone dead was right, wrong, or scummy for it. You can't tell if someone is scummy nearly as easy if you have no idea what the alignments are of the people they have talked about, pushed, and defended.

This 100% but it is hard (for other people, not me) to make cases on day 1. So like I understand the thought, but like how are you supposed to magically make cases on day 2? I guess because night actions are the primary way we've won games lately...

A Winner is you!
I know I'm a bit late, but i got home from visiting with my parents over the holidays and there was a package waiting for me from my secret santa.

Inside the package was a heartfelt personal note from Hal Incandenza which i will actually keep next to my desk because it is really rad.

Also was some excellent looking salsa, some pig themed kitchen doodads, and a solo rpg / journaling game that looks really neat.



And upon closer inspection this game looks like it is extremely my jam.



Thanks Hal! This was a really great gift!

Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
Now that King's Quest 4 is over. Strategy discussion:

Suppose you're a town roleblocker in a generic (non-experimental) role-heavy closed-setup game. No D1 day actions or gimmicks, no useful D1 reads at all.

Is it better to use your roleblock N1 or withhold your roleblock N1, and why?
