And you should know by now that I'm going to throw a whole bunch of theories out there. :P

I like how you discarded Conspiracy Theorist.

JJ @ 13/1/2015 12:16 Christian, your role seems like it was pretty powerful. It was something about submitting a name each night and being told whether I suspected that person was an Alien. I didn't know if Aliens were the villains or if they were third party or what. But I would also scan as an Alien, so I opted to not take one. I already come off scummy enough as it is. lol

Agreed. "lol" :p

I don't even know most of these roles. The one I discarded I had never heard of before.

Something to think about though: would the people that discarded a scum role (whether it be mafia or third party) only have the option to pick some other third party or mafia role? The reason I ask this is because it not, it could really mess up the balance if not. Like, if all of the people that discarded a mafia role picked a town role, would that mean we have very little scum to deal with?

I'm not sure KC would do this because it might be predictable, but I don't see how the balance could be there if this were the case.

I think it was completely random, quoting KC: "Balance is, as you'd expect, not guaranteed and this is sure to be a positively silly game."

Sounds like something scum would want us to think.

Rob, is that picture for me <3

Interesting to see why someone would give up a cop role. Wonder what kind of role they kept ;)

I never read rules or flavor or anything like that. I guess I should start.

That was a really weird thing to say. The only cop role I see was discarded was the town lover cop role, unless you're referring to something else? Who would keep a lover role?

Thanks for the link JJ, can't find commuter and tourist though, can anyone tell me what those mean please.

Not sure why it's a weird thing to say. Why wouldn't someone keep a cop role, lover or not? Better than someone saying that those who gave up Vanilla must have chosen mafia lol

Just checked most of the discarded roles (couldn't find deputy), and all of the town roles seem pretty shitty except maybe the jailkeeper. I don't think hero/kingmaker are all that great (not sure who said so). Kingmaker is kinda cool, but if it's one-shot then meh.

PORL's alien role would have caused all night actions to be redirected to one person (1-shot) which woulda been pretty funny imo lol. Matt's role would give a certain satisfaction too.

In general I think the discarded scum roles are better than the discarded town roles, which is probably in line with a general preference to be town rather than scum.
