Apologies: when I said lay low, I meant exploit your newness to its full extent. Multiple bandwagons are absolutely town: just look how Promoter is negative utility precisely because it limits our options to two people. Also, you've seen town!Joseph do the exact same, yet you think it means they're more likely to be scum: why? I also believe town should be able to lie sometimes, it's sometimes useful and can blow the game wide open if they do it correctly.
What are your opinions on the current setup talk, that is, Promoter claim?
Apology accepted. I won't be abusing my noob-ness this game. Wow. I can't believe I forgot about multiple wagons being optimal for town... I guess I'm less obsessed with town optimal-ness when I'm actually town.
Vote:Joseph, because of my previously stated reasons and MiX reminding me that more wagons=good. I've seen town!Joseph claim scum, sure. On the whole, claiming scum, lying as town, crazy gambits, they sow confusion, discord, and strife. One of the best ways to town hunt is to find people that are utterly consistent. Lying makes it impossible to stay consistent: you have to backpedal. If all the towns always told the truth, the game would be much easier, as we would have 3 liars to deal with, instead of any number. I held this position last game, and I hold it this game. Lying hurts town.
I think, if promoter is such a negative town role, we should be hoping for the promoters death. We don't want to waste a lynch on it, ergo it falls to the mafia to accidentally kill them. Therefore, not claiming in the hopes of getting NKed would be best. On the other hand, I don't deny the power and utility granted by a clear (IC=clear, right?). This early in the game, unless the Promoter thinks that they are the best at this game and can run the entire show from here on, I don't see to much benefit from a clear. Later in the game, when the lynch pool shrinks, a clear would be convenient. TLDR, if the promoter thinks that they are awesome, claim and run the show. If not, try to get killed and spare some positive town role the death.
Tell me, Joseph, why do you claim SK? Obviously you don't
actually mean your the SK... What's the point? To cause more confusion? Yes yes, I know there isn't even a SK in this setup. But why bother with lying? Is it some sort of tradition? Meta is a dangerous game.
