Did I not think that maybe 5 prs is too many for a game with a traitor? A little bit, but like I've seen extremely town-sided setups so I wouldn't be that shocked if something similar happened here

I just ran this setup. I think this is a balanced game. Here if all 5 pr claims are town we have an informed mailman, two 1-shot bp neighbors, a complex vigilante, and an odd-night invest even-night useless.

Depending on scum power I think this is pretty balanced. Scum seem to have a roleblocker to deal with investigative claims, and a vigilante is functionally a conftown here. So why would this not be balanced compared to the game I ran, depending on how much power scum gets.

sure, i've heard of the first part... (although it hasn't always seemed to work that nicely ime)
now what is this "fake vote" thing?
You just use hurt or heal tags or something clearly indicated NOT a real vote.
Then whoever is fake “hammered” has 24 hours to vote or it’s a scum claim and everyone dog piles.

Thanks for the list.

Is there a list of roleclaims somewhere?
And unless we know what scum have anything is possible.
I think focusing on probable is more likely the best approach.

This sort of shit should also be warned/banned.
LGBT should not be a synonym for evil.
This seems to have been coming up a lot recently.

I have my ways that work pretty well in elo.

If it wasn’t elo I would give a dump and show what I am doing but I have a pretty good elo rate. I am gonna do my thing which is just gather a shit ton of information first then reread the thread at once with it and look for inconsistencies.

Honestly don't lim me solely based on mechanics. It's easily possible that 2 neighbours have the exact same role. It actually makes more sense given that it's probably mind games from the mods.

Even if someone does a play you disagree with/is anti-town, it doesn't make them scum, though. But this is a pointless argument because I lost my will and didn't vote. I'm fine with doing things your way, though.

I haven’t said anyone is scum though. The fake vote thing is pretty common in elo. You always want scum to vote first if you can. It’s very sus in elo to just drop a vote for that reason. It robs us of fake voting. Lock scum? No. Suspicious? Yes.

I suspected dwlee coming into the phase. I'm still wary. I disliked them preflip teaming me with Pizza off House suspecting me a lot. But not fully sure they play things the way they have as scum. Like I said, need to reread, haven't had the time.
