i'm always paranoid/wary of a strongman in setups with a bodyguard but that's a really stupid anti-synergy in 9p.
i'd then be systematically paranoid of a rb, which is an interesting synergy but easily scum-sided.
the mark mechanic is.... really interesting, and i'm actually lowkey indifferent as to whether there's a meaningful balancing diff between {bg, bomb, fn, names townies} vs. {bg, fn, names townies}.

probably the existence of another TPR / potential for clear by virtue of just being a TPR is more damaging than the self-protective aspect

I'm really struggling with whether FN/Bomb/BG makes more or less sense than FN/Bomb since the scum have a MFD role - I don't see how you are indifferent about this balance question.

assuming we're both town there's a reasonable chance /one/ of us fucks with scum actions but a v low chance they can't intuit the MFD is there for a reason and avoid fucking both of themselves.

at rand i think bomb is less likely to exist than bg but i'm... conspicuously biased
i don't think there's a massive ev difference no? i guess the setup where we're both town is a lot swingier?

well if the scum have a MFD and they dont know why they have a MFD then it would make sense the scum want to mass claim no?

actually it makes koba being scum more likely if they had a mfd ability because he would make a spreadsheet to figure out which tprs interact with a MFD

just had like a reminisce to SUPP2017 mafia

scum!worst formatting people's rankings for no reason

scum!worst formatting holistic rankings so that scum could anticipate role interactions

scum!punreader spends an absolute tonne of time calculating rankings to understand how their role can interact with the list

large theme is pretty explicitly a different situation but like... as punreader would say
effort =/= alignment
and i really don't think it's distinctly scum indicative here but it's certainly not a towntell

effort doesnt equal alignment but a scum will cruise if the town is on the wrong track

oh absolutely yeah; tells are tells but putting a bunch of effort into something that could benefit either alignment is explicitly not ai

pedit: yes we are. it's both relevant and a fun thought exercise :c

I'm really struggling with whether FN/Bomb/BG makes more or less sense than FN/Bomb since the scum have a MFD role - I don't see how you are indifferent about this balance question.
I’m struggling with this too, before we knew about the mfd thing it was obvious but both dsjstr townflip + mfd mechanic totally fucked up my solve. This is why if I’m convinced of nothing else, this game is definitely scumsided.

Yeah, I think SS claiming to be this certain of who the scumteam is definitely scum indicative for him. In every single damn game I’ve played with town!him. he’s ALWAYS had some doubt. I don’t recall a single SS towngame where he had this much certainty on who any scum was - let alone the entire team sans flip. If this is town!SS here, I should seriously consider quitting playing mafia.
