Open 794 Pick Your Power X/Y (finished)

[Umlaut]

VOTE: DrDolittle

S_S' vote record (or lack thereof) may be worse but Dolittle's positioning is worse; S_S at least was adamant about keeping the pressure on Marquislot in the face of a replacement and argued against the counterwagon on Gypyx. And something did sort of bother me yesterday about Dolittle that I couldn't put my finger on whereas S_S just seems like himself to me.

[Something_Smart]

Interesting.

I will not say anything until some more people weigh in on what, if anything, we should reveal.

[Green Crayons]

Initial reaction is that this makes Umlaut solid town.

[Clover Ebi]

After reading through all this I believe Umlauts theory has more weight to it than I first thought when reading through. I was honestly very surprised that Marius/A50 went so easily because I know as a wolf I would've probably defended a 1 shot vig claim a lot harder than it seems anyone really did.

But maybe wolves were prepared for such a wagon and because they had the backup are okay with it. Of course anyone can have this theory but I figured typing my thoughts out would be better. In theory, we could give them both pools of 2 for a poe to shoot in and if none die we know there's scum in those 2, but until we have a better scumread this is fine!

VOTE: DrDolittle

[Clover Ebi]

Hm, I went back to look at the vote count to see if any early wolf bussing makes sense, but I had good townreads on the first 3 who voted. While I have mixed feelings on Green/username. This probably requires someone who is better at VCA than myself.

[Something_Smart]

Do you think we should claim which of us has the rolecop/UB slot?

It seems kinda silly to be voting DDL without knowing that.

[Clover Ebi]

I was just putting my vote on who I think would be more likely wolf between the two of you but that does make more sense.

I think claiming isn't needed when we can protect and leash in the vig into 2 pools. It really depends on how much you value keeping a PR alive that could be town or leashing a shot.

[Clover Ebi]

I'm more about finding townreads than getting stuck on this stuff myself haha

[DrDolittle]

I'm the rolecop.

[DrDolittle]

Theorycrafting tomorrow, but in short Rolecop has the highest EV.

Umlauts scum. His theory has a direct contradiction to it

[DrDolittle]

Scum or misguided I can't tell yet

[the worst]

why do I have no opinion about what alignment this makes drdolittle

[the worst]

if it was ss I'd have a stronger opinion

[Datisi]

huh. i was thinking last that "wow, sure hope the uni backup is town so they shoot gypyx and we don't have to waste a day on him." was lowkey disappointed that didn't happen.

looking forward to your theorycrafts, drd

[Datisi]

thinking last night* zzz

mood, except I didn't think this.

One one hand I don't see how Role Cop is +EV over regular Cop, but on the other hand; scum picking Role Cop over Jailkeeper/1-shot vig/Roleblocker/Vengeful for first pick is very unusual. Doc is

probably

town if he can explain his EV thing.

[the worst]

who even needs a rolecop just kill the people who are good at mechanics and scream until everyone massclaims

I think I probably agree tbh it's just..... such a strange first pick for scum in his shoes to ACTUALLY pick, like I don't think marquis was established as a D1 lolbus but also really doubt that scum in draft position #1 would be like "ok cool let's pick a cliché high EV scum role"

the suggestion that drdo is... just scum for having such a cliché scum pick also kinda left me wanting :u who said it again

whatever I'll wait for drdo just talking through my brain thoughts

[the worst]

oh it was umlaut. lol.

[Grumpy Cat]

Is it even a cliche scum pick though? Isn't 1-shot vig/vengeful/JK/RB better for scum?

[Grumpy Cat]

I guess picking JK/RB has problems later on when people start claiming to be roleblocked and people start asking what you picked.

I thought of something though and I'm curious to see if DDL says it.

[Umlaut]

Looking forward to the explanation of why Rolecop is a high-EV town role in a setup where any alignment can be any role.

[Datisi]

ladies... you're both pretty... why don't we unite our powers... our dashing good looks... and execute the obvscum...

[Green Crayons]

So you don’t think some roles are AI?
