Open 794 Pick Your Power X/Y (finished)

[the worst]

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

have I told you lately I love you

[Green Crayons]

My spicy take is that Umlaut and DDL aren’t appealing elim candidates, and I don’t really have anything else to add to this line of conversation.

[the worst]

First I liked his reaction to what I thought was the best case about him around his voting/not voting of Marquis/A50.

Second, his theory that scum picked his attempted PR seems more likely to come from town paranoia.

issue fmpov is it's pretty transparently incorrect and does a better job of creating gamestate friction than finding actual scum but I think it's probably just intuition and I'm overthinking it

[the worst]

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

if it was ss I'd have a stronger opinion

Going to just throw out there that TW is either town or absolutely brilliant scum with this pair of posts.

): Why can't I be both? please pander me

[Something_Smart]

this just in, picking a unibackup or rolecop is unusual for town

It is?

[Datisi]

when said thought process is unusual for town, and 2 allegedly town players have the same when they have the first picks of the games, well, let me doubt of at least one of em

this just in, picking a unibackup or rolecop is unusual for town

@s_s

i myself don't think it's unusual, and also like, the rolecop/UB pair seems like... one of the least likely for scum to pick. idk.

[the worst]

investigate fully these 4 role-pairs (which are the roles that need to be figured out in general),

sure, this checks out.
drdolittle is probably crazy enough that this reasoning occurs to him as town. not really convinced he's crazy enough that it occurs to him as scum?

also I think I tend to agree there's a kind of antisynergy in marquis/umlaut picks actually

[the worst]

It's mechanically optimal for him to decide depending on what his result is...?

yeah if he has anything incriminating he should sit on it, if he has anything good and spicy he should out it I think

[the worst]

other way around. coffee get inside me.

[Something_Smart]

I think Umlaut is a better kill than DDL by almost every metric.

That said Gypyx is probably superior to both.

[the worst]

So:
-From 4 first picks of the game, the 1st AND 3rd decided both it was a good idea to pick one of universal backup or rolecop as a +EV for town instead of a cop or other "shenanigan" like that: I think there r rly high probabilities one of em is scum and one aint.
-Furthermore, scum DID pick 1-vig, and it is obvious that no 2 scums would go for the same pair. If we believe that there is scum in the first 3 picks and it wasnt only marqis, THERE NECESSARILY IS a scum favouring role among Doc, Umlau, and S_S.

Im A-ok sending doc to the gallows just for his role tbh.
VOTE: Doc

so doc is scum because he has a different take on mechanics to u, interesting. could I get a bit more about why this makes him aligned with the mafia and not just VERY SILLY?

[the worst]

tbh untill ppl began talkin about how it would be horrible for gypyx to do that as scum and that gypyx is not the kind of guy to throw a game I almost

hammered

him

As I said repeatedly yesterday they are scum together. Gypyx was also wagoned and tried to draw votes away from his vig scumbuddy. He's started today off by hard lurking because he failed and has been caught.

Convince me otherwise I double triple dare you.

[Something_Smart]

Also, A50 could have lolhammered Gypyx and fired his shot before dying, and he did not...

[the worst]

what do you think of this

that's a lovely post.

when said thought process is unusual for town, and 2 allegedly town players have the same when they have the first picks of the games, well, let me doubt of at least one of em

fyi: drdolittle is unusual.
please reconsider and reconvene.

[the worst]

Also, A50 could have lolhammered Gypyx and fired his shot before dying, and he did not...

I forgot about this, great call.

[Datisi]

i brought it up first today!!

[Something_Smart]

Yes. I don't take credit for realizing it.

[the worst]

yeah but things happened and I forgot after that

I don't think Gypyx+word are scum together, probably 1 in them tho

[Something_Smart]

You don't think they are?

I was literally about to say that word pushing this gives him massive scum equity if DDL/Umlaut are both town.

[Datisi]

is it bad that like, an hour ago i wrote a mental note like "my current ez game ez lyfe solve is gypyx/word"

oh god why are we mindmelding

is duck scum again

[the worst]

I think there's huge scum equity in what they're pushing, but I don't think both surviving scum dive into such a bad opinion when it's transparently unpopular. I actually think it's probably +scum for Gypyx more than word.

[the worst]

consider -

town!word raises an awful point. scum!Gypyx agrees with it.
scum!word raises an awful point. town!Gypyx agrees with it.
scum!word raises an awful point. scum!Gypyx agrees with it.
town!word raises an awful point. town!Gypyx agrees with it

I think s/s is just a lot less likely.

[the worst]

is duck scum again

obviously.

[Green Crayons]

Also, A50 could have lolhammered Gypyx and fired his shot before dying, and he did not...

Digging my vote more and more.

[the worst]

roasting scum is so much fun.
