Rushing the first elimination is almost always one. It denies people the chance to develop their reads and consider different possibilities. If it was up to me I'd say we eliminate around the 6th day and then every 18-24 hours from then on, but I don't own the thread and I can't force my theories on everyone else.
Yeah just because someone has a different idea of how to play this doesn't mean they're scum (??), I can't really understand this line of thought, I also think town needs to dunk someone ASAP to start getting associations.

Not necessarily?? There could be scum, but also the absence of any defense, redirection,

Inexperienced scum, or players known to be trolls. Now I dunno about Spicer so can't call them a troll, and can't tell if they're good at scum either, so I considered that entrance NAI.
He's not a troll, it's not difficult to briefly meta him to figure this out

The more inexperienced he is the less likely he is to post something like this

Like I GET that it doesn't look like there's much on my spicer townread. I get it, he made one post, and everyone's like "lol wtf there's no case he made one post". I don't really want to go into the spicer townread again, I feel like I've restated it in multiple ways already with different points overlapping in different posts. You can tell a LOT not just from posting but using that in conjunction with game/wagon dynamics, assessing the presence (or lack thereof) of baseline motivations, etc. to get alignment tells from lurkers. And fwiw I would argue that people have been read for WAY less in this game. I get that town!Isis and town!Marksman might think I have extra info on spicer's alignment - at first I thought it was superficial but the more I thought about it the more I think that the whiteknighting hypothesis is a plausible town process.

I'll just say (so I can come back to this theory later ifneedbe) if I was scum leader I would organize it such that some of us are lurky and 1-2 are really active and try to be townread. It's a good hedge because if the town swings one way or the other (towards going after high activity posters vs. low activity posters) scum is still likely to win

It's nice for coasters to get by the first few elims, then have some big townread figure that infiltrates to the end

Basically if we just have 2 innocent children and then we launch in some random order I feel like town wins a vast majority of the time. If scum infiltrates the innocent children or can manipulate the elim order to hit the wincon beforehand they win

Or town does a mixture of both like they usually do.

I haven't found my IC partner that I'm confident on. hellbooks and Casey are candidates, but nothing to bet the game on yet.

i did some math for fun because I was curious. If we use the strategy above, we win about 86.6% assuming the elim order is random and the ICs are both town. Assuming scum has some influence in the elim order, we could model that by assuming they get two MEs for free so in that case we win 78.5% of the time. If scum is in the ICs we win 0% obviously. So a pessimistic estimate of our winrate is P(we choose two town ICs) * 78.5%. If we were to pick the ICs completely randomly we would have a 50-50 shot (10/14*9/13=49.5%), so under the random elim order we're 42.8% to win and under the not-so-random elim order we'd be 38.8% to win. Which actually feels not bad.

I'm not saying we should use this strategy because obviously people will object, adverse selection, etc. But it's a fun baseline to know

Looks like a good plan to me. Nono and Spicer are the designated ICs. I have decided this because of the way it is.

Please start dunking everyone else without mercy.

You could see if I was doing that and I literally can't be doing that based off of the VCs. Why would I say it too? Oooo, am I going to foil my ingenious plan here by...explaining it?!?!

I don't get what you mean here. I think it proves the opposite, actually.

I would assume yes since the rules don't say anything for it. Might be something for the Mod to consider. The counter argument is that it is nightless so there's no reason to wait but it's weak.

I feel good about redflip but that makes me feel even worse that I didn't let No do it.
