Yeah, I don't think I'm that shit to be less accurate than random. :igmeou:

In post 205, Titus wrote:I voted for Drixx. I felt that him as leader makes him more readable and gets him to form reads earlier.

FA as leader, assuming scum could coordinate, suggests scum are at a minimum trusting of FA's judgement which is wierd
Ok ufo has a point here

Why did you assume that the scums piled their votes on me?

If they have pre-game chat, they would have coordinated. Do you disagree? This comment seems to disagree with that sentiment.
They don’t have to coordinate.....

either scum really didn't have a pregame chat - they decided to split vote and allow town to choose people - or they voted me cause they think they can control me
if scum voted you and you're town, they don't have to lie about it. the 3 people that voted you making you leader leads to me thinking scum votes were spread out to avoid associative reads, especially if you won with just 3 votes. wolves can have pregame chat AND not coordinate their votes in any way, cause that leaves a readable paper trail town can figure things out with.
Coordination does not have to mean pile votes.

Coordination could also be spread votes out.

I'm not a big fan of anyone that's trying to discount coordination. But it the grand scheme of things, it's isn't really important D1.
if the votes are spread out, regardless of some coordination taking place, we can't draw anything from it without flips. I don't think FA is scum and I don't think scum votes FA for thinking that's better for their faction without her being on it, so gun to my head there was either no coordination or the coordination didn't make a difference.

or that they didn't want to do it
Yeah not much to do on that. There's two optimal approaches in my mind

1) Random but secret the PRs or 2) Announce them.

Random neutralizes the threat to PRs and reduces buddying for power but makes blocking harder.

Announcing means buddying up the yin yang and harder to mske reads but easier to block with.
what do you mean secret the prs? you mean my team? I'm not gonna announce who I'm gonna choose today. tomorrow I will out all players though

I don't get the last sentence and how is this related to my post though
Well if you pick and keep secret, the odds of picking one scum by chance are pretty high. If you're town, you could get blamed for it given scum think you are buddiable. If you're scum secret plus pick allows you to place buddies as PRs.

If we do secret, it should be random to completely reduce the value of scum buddying you for power.
Hmmmm . . . I hadn’t thought of that. I could definitely see how scum could WIFOM on that. Perhaps an optimal solution is a combo of pick and random, secret and open?

I can see how scum could use that to their advantage.

What is the benefit of publicly announcing who I'm choosing?

Unless if we're saying it will be a consulting thing and we all are gonna choose one of my peek together

It's obvious why the existance of a scum leader is good for the scum team, they would be able to know which players have superpowers.
As a town leader you're uninformed and may end up inadvertedly giving scum a superpower.

Suffice to say, I think im not gonna rely on PRs to find scum, that mechanic is swing af, and it also puts a lot of pressure on whoever the current leader is.

Yes, which is why I will never do it randomly. Unless if its random from a little group of people I have town reads on.

I'm pretty sure purely random out of 5/22 is almost guaranteed to wind up with a scum. Purely random with a smaller number of people selected *might* be optimal, but really, I think that's a silly line to take.

Even with a smaller number a biased opinion is nearly always equal or better to a random pick.

Everything private
How do you expect to find the culprit when you're all worried about each other's feelings? If you're planning to expose a liar, then you have to corner them psychologically.
