What do you think about jumping onto a townie's bus? It would lump an innocent (or maybe even a few innocents) with you, and if you jump in quickly, you could even get the townie fingered as a potential ringleader.

That said, I don't think I could pull that off, personally. It would look really weird compared to my usual, slow-voting playstyle.

Ok, so uh....What do I do?

Re-read the woof thread and just be yourself, you'll be fine. Just make sure to check this thread as often as you check the other one so we can keep each other accountable and call out the bad(and good!) Plays we make.

SepPrime: Avoid bandwagoning a buddy. Lynches are often preventable even when it seems hopeless.

Two sleepwalkers is hilarious.

Are we all pretty much in the US? Anyway, before I go, I just wanted to chime in and say we should probably leave Drop alone for a while. Whoever assumes his role will automatically be suspicious, so we definitely shouldn't be gunning for it, since double-vote really isn't all that powerful.

On the other hand, I think it would be a good idea to keep killing whomever he nominates as deputy, since that person being a deputy alone is a valid reason for him being a target, and our moves become harder to read. Then, when one of us ends up in the role, we do a no-kill and have everyone think it was due to a protection effect from someone else. We could even fake a role claim at that time to really sell it if we want.

Thoughts?

I'd be tempted to leave drop alive for a few days and make sure someone who asked for it at some point gets the role too.

But then him being a known villager makes him someone we probably do want to get out of the way.

If he is then we need to get rid of him asap. If it works how the wiki says it does, that's almost a guaranteed win for us. Unless I'm missing something.

Which is why I doubt it, no way it would be that easy. He's probably just role playing.

I'll probably brainwash him tonight.

Be careful though, I doubt this is the case, but he could be fishing for a night action.

If we confirm he's a baker tonight, then the ideal play would be to hope that he gives one of us bread, then kill him tomorrow. That way there's only two people with bread, so once the timer runs out we win, as long as we can protect whoever has the bread from getting lynched. If none of us get bread then there will be too many loaves in play by the time we can kill him, so we can't risk him dying. At that point one of us needs to raise the possibility of him being a baker, if nobody else has by then, to prevent him from being lynched.

Calm down, you're doing fine. It's okay to be second guessing stuff like that in the regular thread, Sheriff is a unusual role as is, and you're also new to the community. Don't panic and don't worry that someone is on to you. 9 times out of 10, they aren't. This early in the game it's all about being town. It's a hard frame of mind because you already know all the answers, but you have to play as if you don't. Later in the game we can gambit and plan things out but this early it's just keeping a good profile up.

Tell me about it, what they don't realize is that it saves us the headache of dealing with being deputy and staying alive at the same time, all we gotta do is nija kill him and we're set!

The person about to be lynched doesn't have to be a townie, and they're working on the assumption that drop would be night killed anyway. It's an unnecessary hassle, but it at least gets the role out of the way.
