Nah, it's pretty null. The townie discards are the ones that are good for scum but bad not really amazing for town. Like Mason or Vig.

I can see how a vig discard is Towny but not Mason. If you want to be Mafia you would have to discard Mason.

Because any nonmafia team wants to be mason. It's a 'townie' claim that doesn't net a real positive for town (Functionally, it's the same as a neighborhood).

There's also a fair bit to be said about just lynching all of the people who LIKE playing scum in this setup, which is why I never play from the beginning.

Mass redirect is a gr8 town role. It's a combination of a vig and a doctor. You get to pick all of the scum kills for a night.

This game is an example of why town should not lynch a claimed PGO & claimed seer. Much too valuable information they could provide & even if they fake claimed, we could follow-up on that or scum would prioritize them at night anyway. So what Shad & TT have done regarding me/temp/dave, makes me think they're rather new

ordinarily i would give space to the seer but he claimed it so badly, and got hammered before i could really change my mind
i was invest myself and knew results were nothing like what he said
4t vigging you without a claim was like really dumb
town were dealt a loss here tho, theres way too much scum

Reads in this game across the board have been pretty poor. I imagine it’s a combination of 1) multiball, 2) huge disparity in activity between slots, and 3) relatively short day phases.

That said there’s a lot of scum in this game and their reads are obviously tailored in a way that persue their win condition.

good grief....watching shadow try to piece it together regarding temp+me visiting dave the 1-shot pgo is somewhat disturbing.
maybe dave should full claim and explain it more .
I dont even see the point anymore though because now people would just avoid dave, shad will just a target for nk, and tt is now functionally a vt who shot another tpr lol

Apparently me saying green check meaning an innocent result is me obviously fakeclaiming Seer.

fwiw I unvoted you and defended you!....


Also, started laughing so hard when I saw DT state he got Tree Stump as an option from a setup. If that really is an option, I wish I was provided it so I could choose it in Great Idea 9.

I was in my church's choir when I was a wee little one and conductor for my Junior High band, but nah. I've been part of no music-y stuff for more than ten years.

Why can groupscum be converted to cult.
More importantly how can you basically tell their entire faction that they got converted.

I never understood that, normal recruiter cant recruit groupscum, but apparently black goo can?

i'd agree that only town should be convertible
or at least not groupscum
a converted member outing its entire former team isnt a fun mechanic

I had never put a ton of thought into these things because they're never used in practice ... until now. It turns out that this setup gets more bastard the more you look at it. I don't think I'll be running it again without personalizing the role list to remove the problems first. I like the concept of the setup but there are just too many problems with the cards as it stands now.

That said there's no groupscum restriction on the recruiter or the black goo. Any partners would simply be told "Player has lost their factional communication and may no longer post in this PT". It's really bastard and not a great solution but at least groupscum can't go into the main thread and talk about loosing a partner without claiming scum themselves.
