um...

Inspection time~

I am ever so slightly confused in regards to the last few posts here. Oh well.

How active does this game need to be?

Roleclaim: Chief Detective

@DxS (and some other people), since there is only 1 killer and 1 chief detective, the killer should be able to kill a random lurker without
much risk. While the detectives can't just decide based on suspicion, because the odds are against us on Day 1.

You have to remember that only the Killer may kill someone. The detectives will not be able to kill any detectives that they investigate.

But, the beginning is the best time to vote for someone to investigate, because the Killer will probably want to find out who the Chief Detective could be after the 2nd Day. If the Killer kills too many people and doesn't find the Cheif ( and vice versa ), our chances of finding the Killer will also increase. So the Killer will want to kill before too many innocent people are found out. In other words, the killer will want to kill the person who everyone votes for to inspect.

There's my thoughts on this game...

Also, don't play this like a mafia game.

Addition to previous post...

I forgot to read what I typed before entering...

Only the Killer may kill. Detectives will want to find who is guilty AND innocent.

The Killer will use the bad investigations (after 1 investigation) to kill TWICE, but will possibly only kill once on the first bad inspection.

Detectives should investigate on the first day.

Odds for finding the Killer/Chief increase when we investigate or the Killer kills.

That's all that needs to be said...

I nominate to investigate DxS.

I don't believe animask is lieing, but if he is, we know he's the killer.

According to the response I got from vyt pre-game, if the chief says no to an investigation request, then we lose that day's investigation anyway. So investigating incorrectly and saying no have similar results, only I would think getting the confirmed non-killer, and having a chance to get a killer, would be better than not.

Incorrect Invest: Confirmed player, lose next day's investigate.
Denied Invest: Lose today's investigate.
No Invest (If possible): No penalty, but no chance to find killer.

Out of those options, incorrect and no investigation are the best two. I reccomend that the chief never deny a request, based on that.

Also, from what I've understood based on what's posted in the rules, the killer has to kill each day. Even if he didn't, I wouldn't see much of a reason for him to choose not to, so we should expect a kill each day regardless.

At this point, I'd agree with an animask or DxS investigation.

I don't think animask would be serious in roleclaiming such an important role. It's essentially the same as committing suicide in this game. At the same time, if animask were the killer, they wouldn't want to cast suspicion on their character (which, of course, claiming to be CI would do).

By this reasoning, I believe animask is an ordinary detective.

Not nominating anybody at this point in time.

Azure_Kyte wins.

@LS, I had a feeling I would be getting some things wrong, but with the rules and such, I was generally right.
You're theory sounds like a MafiaScum kind of theory, but it works too. (Mafia will want to always kill.) The only thing that was
different was that denying a investigation counts as a fail.

Can we unvote and revote?

The main important difference is that an investigation does not remove the investigated player from the game, and when incorrect gives us someone who is confirmed not to be the killer. Of course we lose the next day's investigation, which gives us a few chances to lose.

This game is based off of mafia, so mafia theory can work here just as well. Of course, taking note of any differences is important.
