Oh, a picture would be nice.

Too busy to draw an actual picture.

No problem ;P I was okay with text, but I thought a picture might be easier for me to go through. But I'm okay with text.

But let's see if I can make you understand.

Assumption 1 - WW has exactly 1 inquisitor; Town has exactly 1 inquisitor:

In this case, with only the word from 1 inquisitor, we cannot trust him, as he could very well be ww. And if 2 inquisitors show up saying totally different things, then oh lord. In this case, the inquisitor is expendable as it only causes confusion, and getting rid of both inquisitors means we got a ww.

Right. The question is, how likely is this formation to exist out of it all? The only bit of information we were able to get from Ramond regarding the distribution was that each of the factions' were chosen independently of the other, as long as he felt they were balanced. You've explained yourself how the existence of only 2, one for each faction, can balance things out since the confusion they can cause to townies can become an statistical advantage IF they lynch both of them. Hopefully also we'll be able to tell more about role distribution soon, when the Bards and Occultists abilities start showing. We'll also be able to get more information by continuous daily lynching and assistance from confirmed Scouts.

Assumption 2 - WW has exactly 1 inquisitor; Town has exactly 2 inquisitors:

In this case, both town inquisitors can work together. Either by getting in contact with each other or simply by reporting their findings upon death or after finding all ww. In this case it is the word of 2 versus the word of 1, if the ww even dares to say something. So in this case, the inquisitors are of extreme importance to the town.

But that really involves a lot of effort and luck to fulfill; especially now since TheNave, a scout-claimed inquisitor whom he himself confirms it, is now known to everyone. A town-aligned knight, if exists, may protect him (supposing he's attacked in the first place and is not a werewolf himself), but for how long, knowing one can't activate an ability on the same person twice? And like I said to mfc, what are the chances everything these 2 inquisitors choose to check contributes to any sort of data table? It's just too difficult to meet all these criteria.

Assumption 3 - WW has no inquisitor; Town has exactly 1 inquisitor:

In this case we will still be reluctant in trusting the inquisitor, since we do not know if there is a ww inquisitor or not. Although that does not mean we have to kill him, does it? And at least we'll have a lead. Though in this scenario the inquisitor's findings are 100% accurate. I don't see why Ramond would bother creating a role that does not exist. :/

I agree with your last statement, and to further support it, I'll mention that time when I suggested a "last will" system. Ramond's reply was something like "but that will be the job of the occultist", suggesting that he really does want to make every role serve in the game.

I'd like to hear your opinion on lynching the 2 knights also.

not to risk as i have not checked every post and i assume they are not worthy reading all i go no-kill. it's a-man idea to kill sb and inquisitors are not worthy (enough) and all other guys to oppose him.

If you read, you'd see no-kill is bad for townies. Please change your vote to your #1 suspect!
