Nah, no way you're getting to me if I'm surrounded by all this wheat. It's like a full body armor suit.
If you have that much, I just harvest your armor.

In post 6, Umlaut wrote:What's the best way to handle shipments? Should we spread out more or less evenly across them? Should we order the scummiest person to ship copper all on their own?

I mostly play normal games (and open games that might as well be normal) so if there's theory around this kind of mechanic I'm not familiar with it.
I've never played a setup like this before and I need to do a lot more ~ thinking ~ but these were my initial takes:

- Overall, it seems like Town has to juggle gathering enough information to find at least 2 smugglers, while also preventing scum from obtaining enough information to find the TD
- From a 'deny information regarding the TD' standpoint, the worst case scenario for scum is for them to be split across all three shipments, this gets them no closer to finding the TD
- Therefore I suspect scum will try to avoid at least one shipment, to aim to clear some number of townies as
not
TD, even if it means those townies are also conftown
- This leads me to be thinking about if the ideal way for town to play would be to check a shipment of 3 or 4 people each night, hoping to hit tea (but no TD), and then eliminate from within that pool - I haven't crunched any numbers on this at all though
- The only way to definitively avoid TD being in the pool is for PA to claim and organize the shipments. I'm not sure if this is ideal though bc PA would then have to be extremely careful/guarded about all reads that they give, and it would also mean the game kinda becomes 'follow the IC' to a degree which I'm not sure would be all that fun either.

So in my mind, I'm thinking about whether the PA should claim and at what point. I do kinda gutfeel if we start to get close to PoEing by like Day 3 or Day 4, the PA should claim and organize the last shipment or two to avoid outing the TD. Or if we're feeling really confident (eliminated a Smuggler D1 or something), we could collectively just rerun a shipment of already town cleared.

There's also the question of whether the PA should ever decline to check a shipment to WIFOM the scums, but I haven't put a ton of thought into that yet. It's a move to consider though.

My problem with the PA outting early is that scum will know who they're trying to drive executions away from

I feel like we should make them have to work for it

Exactly what I was going to say. The idea should be to select a smallish pool of people we think are town (I'd cap it at 5 but that's an arbitrary guess on my end), and check that. We get it right and it narrows down the PoE on later days. From there I think the strategy becomes follow the clear which is unfortunate but is just the nature of the setup. If we get it wrong, we at least get a narrow elimination pool for day 2. If I
had
to pick 1 name to be in the check right now I guess I'd go with Iconeum.

This strategy is extremely risky just as it is valuable. If we mess up even once we're doomed. Plus, the fact scum have lower number is actually an advantage in a setup like this. I don't know if betting the game on 3/4 clear every day is a good idea. Maybe for day 1, but that's it.

Realistically, we have to stop investigating after 1 clear set if we go that way imo. If we hit a second clear set, scum would find the TD.

That's a good point from Titus. Do we check the scummiest 2 people then and try and hit scum?

Also, someone should really vote for the Tomboy Daughter already to give her some cover.

Pedit: I agree it's a flawed strat. I think we try to hit scum in very small group checks.
