how is the trial of combat even done or do we have to endure it to find out?
Pretty sure he mentioned that he'd reveal after the game ends. We likely wont know this whole game, so not really much to go on in terms of Rafay surviving or not surviving.
You know what's really bothering me???
Its the fact that iSoc, TW and Kev are still alive after D1.
I mean they are all high posters and analyze the game to simplify the concept and hunt scum. So why would scum not choose any of them? I mean I'd go straight for Kev or TW on D1.
@The Warrior, [OOC] Have you received my PM Mr. President?
I would agree that I'm surprised of who was taken out, but nonetheless maybe scum got a vibe off one of them. When I played scum I usually looked to hit the more active and the more experienced players given that no roles aren't known at that point. But certainly my way isn't always the right way.
I am surprised a bit knowing that you were up for trial by combat there was no reveal from you in terms of RC to save yourself. It obviously wasn't known if you'd survive or not the Trial by Combat, but nonetheless the risk was still there. Not saying it's a good or bad play...in hindsight since you survived it worked out, but could of turned bad if you were a town with a role and was killed.

So by that logic none of us should even bother playing the game because at least one of us is guaranteed to die on night 1 everytime. You’re making it far simpler than it is. If you are assuming that Kevin, iSoc, or myself should be the mafia’s target on night 1 because of our experience, don’t you also think that our town power roles would think that could be the case and that we would draw the attention of a watcher which could catch scum in the act or a doctor which could prevent the kill altogether, etc? If we should be guaranteed mafia targets on night 1 then we should also be guaranteed beneficiaries of town power roles who can actually do something on night 1.
Someone that is scum as often as you are knows that you have to factor potential town power roles into your decision making.
@Rhizo - Any thoughts on the results from night 1 or about day 2 so far
Yea, planned to post 2 days ago but the forums were down which I was the one to inform Samus on. Then yesterday got stuck late at work so didn't have time.
In terms of the results, we have 2 dead. Obviously we can count one of the kills as a Scum kill. The other one I see it being 1 of 3 ways. Either we have a SK (possible given the roles), an inexperienced town player who jumped the gun on their Vig ability or there was some modifier they were forced to, or we have a vig scum ability that was allowed N1.
I think there's arguments against all 3. A SK killing N1 basically alluding that there's an SK is IMO a bad play, a town vig using their ability N1 with nothing to go on doesn't make sense, and usually when I've played scum and we've had a Vig killing ability, it's not allowed to be used this early in game.
I am not sure which one it is, and obviously the only way we'll know is if it was a town Vig and they claim it was them. Otherwise not like scum is going to announce it, nor a SK. Given there was 2 kills, I think we all should at least assume a SK is very possible.
