I suppose. That's how about 50% of my conversations go, anyway :P

My point is just that the doc isn't special, it's just vulnerable to being accidentally outed, and so we should do everything in our power to avoid that.

+1

And we accomplish this by not outing any more hoods.

Because nuance, OkaPoka. S_S’s plan is where we should start, until we decide we want to blow the setup open.

Titus’s plan is bad for D1, but has merit later in the game
okay but claiming d2/d3 although still suboptimal is not titus's plan

like i feel like your are giving credit to titus when she deserves none
I think you’re ascribing malice to what is more likely carelessness. I’m not giving any credit to Titus beyond pointing out that the Doc could be used as an IC, an important note that I didn’t even think of until she suggested it

A D2 or D3 Innocent Child, however, is very strong.
Yeah phone operator is named mod-confirmed town who can, on a very low chance, find the doctor and thus can gate lynches to protect the doc, leading to ic-->hidden IC on d2-3.

Oh snap.

Now I get it. There’s only one Phone Operator, we know they’re Town, so a non-cced Phone Operator is functionally another IC.

I feel like we should stop any voting and claiming and whatnot and actually discuss this setup. It might be semi-breakable.

She's town but we should be sticking to "strategy A" until there's a town consensus to switch to "strategy B"

Strategy A: Hoods aren't revealed until L-1 with intent to protect the doc
Strategy B: All hoods are revealed to guarantee the production of ICs upon redflips

We can always switch to B, but we can't go back to A once we go B.

Right the fuck now, when every single one of us has three voices of reason in our heads.

I propose each and every one of us engage our partners in breaking this setup. 12 Town players x 4 person teams, that’s 48 Town minds to a mere dozen scumzors. We can solve this mechanically

Also, Jingle would like you to know that this setup is definitely not breakable because if it were then he would be playing in it instead of me. :lol:

Right this minute I’m not sure. At my in-laws watching a very good movie. This is the sort of thing I need a legal pad, some coffee, and an hour to really explore.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say S_S is Town here, which means Jingle et al are as well. Hi Jingle et al!

I don't think the entire Team Mafia pick a setup easily breakable to give to us.

We just gotta be smart.

:dead: Works for me. I wanted to stay the fuck away from White Flag because it’s got a 75%+ scum winrate, so I’ll take a Townsided setup in its place.

Just because it’s probably +Town EV doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed, we need to do our due diligence

PE: this is a new setup suggested by someone after the process began (I forget who). It hasn’t been stress-tested
