Team Mafia 2020: Open Setup - Game Over

[OkaPoka]

idk krazy there is a lot to get your hands dirty with and you are actively not doing that

[Elsa Jay]

Some people just like having clean hands, Oka. Don't be rude.

[Something_Smart]

Amrun has replaced Mathdino on You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap.

Nuu

But at least we got an Amrun out of it.

But like titus explain to me the value of outting all the neighborhoods

She’s saying that the Doc is more valuable as an Innocent Child than as a Doctor. I’m not sure I agree, but there’s merit in the suggestion

You're really bending your branches to get to any merit in this. A secret doctor has both "Lynchproof in LyLo minus X" and the ability to protect people each night, an outed doc has "Lynchproof in LyLo minus X" and "1- shot lightning rod".

have you ever played with scum me ?

I have and I'm kind of vibing with 102. I'm not as much of an expert on Titus though, I've blacked out the memory of our only scumteam due to emotional scarring.

The earth is Square.

That's geometry this is on purpose isn't it????

I'm going to tackle this in the morning. I have a deep gut feeling that there's either a setup break or at least a mandatory-once-we-see-it strategy in the setup.

There definitely is: Name Townies should claim before L-1 in open setups, because it confirms them town.
Same as every setup in the history of ever.
There's fancy bells and whistles but nothing ontop of that core strategy.
Phone operator+doc+2 neighbor partners of scum (after that scum has died) is a pretty high number of Named Townies for a setup which is "different" but there's nothing else "different". You can try to use the neighbor PT to improve your scumhunting... in the one game a year where we have special 4p hydras for that.... even though empirically that results in more scum pockets than improved read accuracy.

Okay, let's look at it a different way I suppose.

12 of us have neighborhoods, so 6 in total. 3 scum, 1 in each neighborhood. 3/6.

I've been informed math is scummy VOTE: Elsa Jay

I said YOUR math was scummy. I am a faultess perfect character who can contradict themselves perfectly fine.

after some talking with teammates

setup isn't actually breakable unless we hit both scum very early with doc saves

There are three things that confuse me in this post, can you find them all?

In the world where this is a scumslip, it has to be the subset of worlds where oka poka still feels the nightkills are mysterious and inscrutable, and is allowing his teammates to yolo the nightkills
I've only played with scum Oka in nightless but I suspect this venn diagram is simply an oval.
But more seriously I feel like Oka is the greenest tonal slot in the game so far and isn't where I'd go to nitpick wordings. I think you're teasing here though

[Nancy Drew 39]

I think Titus is probably town, Math otoh, the jury’s still out on.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Krazy too.

[Krazy]

Isn't "both" more a fakey attempted townslip than a scumslip tho? Why is oka townie off tone?

[Something_Smart]

I just like neighborhoods for gambiting and reaction testing ngl. Having a place where you can document what you're really thinking while you say something else is very useful.

[Krazy]

Nancy what's your new avi from?

[OkaPoka]

the reason why i asked about pine playin is because literally i have no recollection of playing with anyone on his team or him so idk if its just a generic throwaway comment

[OkaPoka]

wrt both

uh

i mean two

[Krazy]

I just like neighborhoods for gambiting and reaction testing ngl. Having a place where you can document what you're really thinking while you say something else is very useful.

But have you tried just saying what you're really thinking in the main thread?

[Something_Smart]

I find I tend to get ignored when I do that.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Nancy what's your new avi from?

Chloe from the show, the B in Apt. 23.

[Krazy]

As opposed to when only one person can see what you write?

I know what you mean but if your hoodie is scum then there's literally no reliable record of your thoughts when you die. Which is maybe even worse than being ignored because then scum can decide what you said?

[Elsa Jay]

With a Future dead Elsa it'll go like this.

"Yeah Elsa died, she left me pictures of herself and of the animaniacs for some reason. Oh, and she said XXX was scum."

If you actually do anything remotely approaching this for other teammates in other contexts you owe me some rerolls
It's a potential use but you seem the last person I'd expect to suggest it
In Crown I asked my neighbor to pretend she was scumreading so I could get my scumkill equity lower
I figured out she was scum and that ruined my fun

S_S is actually one of the more transparent players as town. People just aren't willing to accept that his townplay is so different.
liberally putting [v[ tags around his thoughts, though, well..

[Something_Smart]

I very much doubt that anyone could misrepresent me and get away with it

Besides, that's not really what I meant-- it's generally on a smaller scale. As in, I would predict that someone would react such-and-such a way as town or scum, note that prediction in the hood, and then if I later come out and say as much I can back up the veracity of it if need be. Plus my neighbor can weigh in on whether they agree or disagree, and I can read them off of that as well.

[Something_Smart]

I generally try to be, yes.

But when I have a chance to be intentionally cryptic I'll usually take it

[Nancy Drew 39]

Can we please stop outing hoods, even that you’re in one? If everyone but the doc outs they’re in a hood, scum will figure out who the doc is.

[Something_Smart]

I haven't claimed to have or not have a neighbor. That post was purely hypothetical.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Alright then.

[popsofctown]

Oka tone

Just claim when your neighbor dies

Only one death a phase

This haikuish post kind of reflected frustration with Titus' lolclaim alongside the correct theory solve

Odds are you will be pocketed in your pt lol

If he's a scum this thought is a cackle
cackles have to be kept in the scum pt because sometimes they get the witch screetchy to them
rolling red with him I feel like Oka gets that
he had to feel confident to post this, it didn't come off cackly though

[Krazy]

I mean it's more a burn and I'm pretty sure burns can come from either alignment
