More seriously, I'm going to get more information out of grilling a single player intensely than grilling many players lightly.
As for the hypothetical third option of 'grilling many players intensely', do you really think I have the brain space to write 20 questions for every player?
You could grill one player intensely and a bunch of players lightly.
Vector is town. That's a hypothetical. You have reason to believe vector is town. What do you do now? Start literally from scratch, or piggyback on an existing wagon you haven't actually contributed to? There are too many players and not enough hours in the Day1 for you to get a tight read on everyone in this way. You've played enough games to know this, you've played enough games
with me in them to know this, I know you know I know you know this etc.
Do you plan to interact with someone besides the people who are going after you specifically for the very valid reason that you're not really doing very much at all to find scum?
It takes a lot of trust in your daygame ability to be able to completely ignore the mechanical side of the game. What will you do when (not if) your daygame fails you?
Get screwed. I'm basically relying on my ability to identify e.g. scum with problem powers and deal with them during the thread, or my team just winning despite me. I can probably help other people solve the game but outside of niche stuff I'm going to be super in the dark about like convincing scum to townside via a mutable-wincon plan that's very unlikely to actually help me.
You mean to tell me this game bores you so much you're not getting insomnia over it?
I'd have the insomnia either way, but the game is helping.
Why wouldn't I pretend to take you at your word if it calls attention to your level of activity in a way that makes you want to respond to the thread?
inb4 Dolores submitted 'The BYOR15 Role That Lets Its User Completely Ignore The Mechanical Side Of The Game'.
It's more like 'The BYOR15 Role that Lets Its User Completely Ignore The Mechanical Side Of The Game But Not Really'. You should have been able to get a more accurate match to the specific wording from the flavor though, not that I want to encourage you to read into flavor when you're doing such a bad job with the actual daygame.
[7]: I mainly asked so many to see how you'd respond to a poke of that magnitude. Response noted.
What magnitude? None at all? You're responding to
Vector's out-of-RVS Case on FallacyofUrist. You'd do that whether you were scum or town. The only players this sheds light on are you and Vector. I don't even know anything about your opinions on players other than Vector, which is a problem I don't need to rectify if I jump on the wagon against you.
You're voting vector and staking pretty much your entire D1-to-date on this attempt. Do you actually think vector is scum, or you're just voting for them, with nothing else on the backburner?
dolores, why all the megaposts?
When people post, and respond to posts, and engage with the daygame, it tells you things about them, hopefully culminating in insight into their alignment. I'm town. If everyone who isn't town was dead, I'd win. The only method I have to achieve this world vision that I'm claiming at this junction is my ability to vote and lynch players.
Why
aren't you posting?
Getting voted and lynched wouldn't count as being targeted by an ability though right?
That's my understanding. I'm unlynchable though.
(me, the player, not anything mechanically relevant concept)
Like I said to ICT, my main mechanical fear is external vote manipulation which I don't necessarily have the ability to prevent. I don't think that many townies will be talked into seriously committing to a dolores lynch.
FallacyofUristI kinda dislike unvoting caz here because I don't think their behavior to date is acceptable, but I also think a resting vote is going to bother FoU a lot more
