Why? Not sold on the "not thinking through mech" argument, you can just post what you thought when you first saw the setupIn post 199, Bingle wrote:Fairly confident in Vandertown aorn, btw.- Vanderscamp

I agree hitting the big pool scum player is much better, I don't think anyone is arguing that.In post 198, Bingle wrote:
If we correctly elim in the small pool (1/3), we're looking at scum needing to miseliminate 3 times in the big pool to win. This is 5/6*4/5*2/3 for optimal play, or about 44%. Yes, scum wins a little bit less than half the time if we correctly eliminate in the small pool. 6:1 with a single IC is not a very strong position for town.In post 187, Vanderscamp wrote:But I think it's very conceivable that we never get confirmed towns or scum NKs in the smaller group before losing the game, why do you expect this to happen if we initially kill into the large pool?
In any other case, scum should be shooting into the bigger pool tonight. As Pooky pointed out, the interactions are more telling when the big pool scum player is on the line than when the little pool scum player is on the line. Therefore, hitting the big pool scum player inevitably gives more information than hitting the small pool scum player.
But it's also half as likely.
I personally think ensuring that we can kill one scum before we lose the game is more valuable than the other strategies, which is not the case if we aim into the big pool first.
But I mostly agree with whoever said earlier that we should probably just aim to kill the most suspicious player.
I REALLY don't like the idea of leaving the big pool lynch up to the small pool, I'll fight hard against that one.- skitter30

ok i am ~here~
i have approximately 30 minutes tho and then i'm gonna bounce again till tomorrow but then i'll actually be around
i have spent approximately 12 seconds thinking abt the setup and i think that we probably want to flip thru the 3-hood (unfortunately) cuz we'll net at least one scum, and then use the nks to sort out 5p and 3p as needed
i'm actually gonna read nowShowHiatus once more.

i'm p sure the answer is going to be something along the lines of: if she has a weaker scumpartner she'd take the 3p in order to shield them from that scrutinyIn post 88, NorwegianboyEE wrote:

but we're guaranteed at least a scum by flipping thru 3p, no?In post 110, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote:guys
we r killing in the 6p hood today
because if we hit the scum in the 3p hood, the scum shoot one of the players in the 3p hood, and tomm we r back to trying to find the scum in the 6p hood.
but if we hit the scum in the 6p hood, the game is over and we win.
going for 6p today means we *might* get a win today but otherwise we end up in a similar space tomorrow with a large hood and an unresolved 3p that if i'm counting right we won't be able to flip through, which by definition means mitigating the chances of netting one scum, if i'm counting this right
it kinda reminds me of coalition of whether we ought to be trying to win (getting the coalition day1) or whether we ought to try to mitigate the losses if we don't get the coalition day1 by getting a coalition that will at least be easier to sort through up failing, as those things aren't always necessarily the same thing.
but i think it's usually better here to net the guaranteed scum and then try to find the other scum in the 6p because while it's not as ~flashy~ it'll help our overall chances of winningShowHiatus once more.

i don't disagree with this assessment tbh - i think i neighborize town-pooky just abt always cuz he absolutely never tries to flip me as townIn post 160, Bingle wrote:Mena already brought up the argument, but I think both skitter and Pooky scum would be likely to neighborize the other.
Would anyone in the larger pool be characterized as limbait? They're probably town if so.
and he always neighborizes me (even if he thinks i might try to flip him) to chill with me
