We said that we have doubts whether a beloved princess would be aligned with the mafia/werewolf factions
My belief is that in general mastina does not fake claim, regardless of alignment, except for in extreme circumstances. They claimed beloved princess? That's their real role. Now figure out their alignment. We are against eliminating the beloved princess.

The original running had the same random element, but still had some roles that were not random amongst the entire player list. Werewolves could not random into the monk role, and mafia could not random into the Mason role, the malefactor could not random into being a monk or a mason.In post 600, Save The Dragons wrote:If the roles are randomly aligned I don't functionally see the difference but whatevs
After bloodstained, I would hope that ceph would make the beloved princess in particular a town only role.
I know that that is not a guarantee, but even if that is not the case, I feel like true claiming as beloved princess as scum is a horrible play as a major benefit of the effect cones from the surprise factor. I feel like scum!Mastina would have kept her role to herself, so in otherwords, I believe that mastina claiming the role is +town for her over all.- Sword of Ducks

There can be a werewolf Mason, but mafia mason is impossible. And the opposite is true for Monks.In post 604, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Wow so there can also be scum mason?
First flip in previous game was werewolf mason apparently.
In the prior run, the malefactor cannot be either - but I could see that being subject to change in this set up.- Well Done

Because I think Tracer has consistently been posturing with confident stances and I don't think they're genuine or backed up by any serious reasoning. I think that saying "scum are trapped like rats in a bucket I love it" is not really a statement that accomplishes anything or moves the game forward unless he is willing to say who. And if he's town, there must be something that inspired him to say that in that situation. His response of "they know who they are" didn't do much to convince me that the original post came from any place of real town thought.In post 593, bnuuy wrote:

pls refer to the non-werewolf scum faction as mafia going forward, I use scum as catch-all for anti-town so seeing it used as an alternate term for mafia throws me offIn post 604, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Wow so there can also be scum mason?

With the idea that a Masonry/Monkery were randomized, I rolled 50 randomizations. In these cases, it's not possible for both scum to be in it, so was doing the randoms out of 19.
if there is those roles here, of course.
If Malefactor can be in them.
21 times no scum
18 times 1 scum, no malefactor.
4 times 1 scum, and malefactor
3 times 2 scum, no malefactor
4 times, just malefactor
if malefactor cant be in them
25 times no scum
22 times 1 scum
3 times 2 scum
I don't know what type of merit this has, but it does show a higher possibility of all townies than i would normally suspect, albeit not enough to clear anyone in it.
It's basically 50/50 if scum is in a Masonry/Monkery.CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

You don’t need to run a simulation to determine odds of at least one scum in a masonry/abbey, you just need to use conditional logic for each step (if a scum is put in during one step, the next doesn’t need to be run)“Merely by existing, we hurt each other.

isnt that just relying on it being a
% of 0 scum
% of 1 scum
% of 2 scum
% of 3 scum
which is what I was more trying to avoid.
I imagine the setup would have been more likely randomized that way than a randomizing how many scum to put in these thingsCHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

Relying on percentages is moot because we don't know if everyone was an opportunity for each role. Some roles may be locked to a certain faction (i.e. A seer and an alpha werewolf exist, seer can be any alignment but alpha is forced to be ww)
That said those percentages are for a 3 person monastery or masonry correct?Imperfection is the spice of life.- bnuuy

Long day today, need some time to catch up, not sure I'll get through everything tonight.
- I'm not really vibing with the wagon on monkeyman - to me it feels like he's getting voted for havingweirdorirrationalopinions, not necessarilyscum-motivatedones. The stuff he says might seem bizarre but I feel like he actually believes what he's saying. The pressure on him feels opportunistic in nature.
- actually feel like mala's entrance to the game, has more energy than I'd expect if she rolled scum here.
...I am incredibly annoyed if Ceph actually put a goddamned beloved princess in his game, but I have absolutely no reason to believe mastina would lie about this or claim it in her first post. Also just, uh, generally feels better than her scumgame, although it's early and if she fades down the stretch it'll be evident.In post 423, mastina wrote:Yo, very important to note:
I am a Beloved Princess.
No, seriously; no joke; this is a realclaim. (I can fullclaim the wording use, but I've reason not to.)
Obviously, this needs to be said since eliminating me during the day is a Very Bad Idea. (I'll need to ask a question to the mod about Vigs tho.)
I may or may not be feeling like playing tonight but it'll either be shortly or not until tomorrow-at-earliest.
- norwee kind of feels like he's overplaying the mastina paranoia a bit
