Rise of The Snake Cult [Concluded]

[Zain]

A poisoned Duke, and a snake styled ring have been found in the morning after the harvest festival. Something is amiss in the Court, and it must be rooted out...

After meticulous reading and analysis of the players, the only logical hint I can afford is this snake reference. Therefore...

What is a closed setup?

What is a closed setup?

A setup (like this) where there is an unknown mix of roles. That is, not a vanilla game, where it's known there's at most a cop and/or doctor, or an open/semi-open setup, where the exact roles or a list of potential roles present, respectively, are given in the opening post.

Thank you, Viper. Then I will answer the questions.

1. If you are scum how would you approach a closed setup?

This is the easier question of the two. If it is unknown quantity, lynch it, kill it, burn it in fire. Most unknown roles are against the scum, so having a powerful individual with power is a threat and trying to 'invite them in' always turns out bad for the scum who in all essence, can hide. The town is generally disorganised and suspicious, don't need boy wonder to reveal the secrets of the universe so easily.

2. If you are town how would you approach a closed setup?

This is the harder one, mostly because not all power roles are your friends. There has been multiple occasions they have negatives such as being a serial killer/renegade which makes them equal to the scum on the priority lynch-list. There is also the instances of false-claims, after all, scum know who other scum are, so can feign a detective for instance, and even 3rd parties wouldn't be so quick to come forward to correct an innocent result. Generally, there is usually recognition of the role, such as a doctors actions can appear in a write up, similar to role-blocker and other roles, and it is usually handy for 'confirmed townies' roles to work together such as a doctor protecting a known role-blocker who can speak with a voice. However, this game has no out of game communication which makes liasion like this very risky, but a rule of thumb is: If the scum doesn't try to kill them, then there is a reason why if they are unknowns. Thus off to the lynch they go.

tl;dr version of both is: Kill them unless proven otherwise, and even then they are still suspicious wildcard factor.
