Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In this particular case, it was more of a cheeky comment b/c the how many scum are in a particular setup is or should be pretty easy to discern. Now over90 might actually be new and not an alt so I don't hold it against him but hamma's 3 in a 16 is
...perfectly reasonable.
4 in 16 has a vanilla EV of about 12%.
3 in 16 has a vanilla EV of about 24%.
2 in 16 has a vanilla EV of about 43%.

All three of these are possible, with 2 in 16 in a setup with almost no PR's, 3 in 16 in a setup with a low to medium amount and strength of PR's and 4 in 16 in a setup with a very high amount or strength of PR's
5 in 16 by comparison is probably not normal with an about 5% WR.
4 in 13 has 9% and that one is known as extremely swingy and often not normal.

You have no idea on what balance is, apparently.

I am merely telling you that you shouldn't dismiss 3 in 16 because it is a perfectly reasonable distribution.

3in 16 holds more weight if enchant wasn't trolling about their hood. But it's just noise right now.

Weirdly though nk looks sketchy with a good and without.

Balance here would be offsetting a severely outnumbered mafia by giving them a ton of power. But I doubt it's 13:3.

The post only exists to paint Nero in a worse light with no elaboration or catalyst. Dare I say I think that's shade?

But yeah it comes off like "hey I think Nero is shady....so if anyone wants to wagon that for me, that'd be great."

Except it's not great.

no, but you said that you didn't think that this was similar to my town game and you could use words to back that statement up. Odc you can just say you were sheeping VD.

you are being hesitant. It's also early game and I'm nowhere near elimination range...the whole "I need to see whether to commit" sounds like a fence sit.

Obviously, there are going to be games that buck the trend but more times than not its

3 scum in a 13 player

4 scum in 14-21

5 or more scum in 21+

So I think the safe assumption is that it'll be 4 scum but it's not really an important point
