Yeah. But it doesn’t feel very good. I’m dissatisfied.

Well it’s not like it doesn’t make perfect sense for MALA to be the MiB but as someone mentioned, flavor/alignment.
Bell, would scum!Ceph shade scum!Corwin's catchup post as performative?

PEdit:

Is there any reason you oppose a D1 penguin lim?

Funnily enough I thought about calling for them to be the Lim of the day, but I’ve thought that about like 6 people just based on knee jerks.
I don’t oppose it tho.

This is essentially true, for more reasons than stated. The real problem is the convolution of stats and probability; stating something has happened X% of the time (the statistic) doesn't inherently give it an X% probability of happening unless you're talking about independent
random
events. We're not talking about random events though, and the probability of it being S/S is dependent on the probability of those slots is scum in the first place. So the mistake being made is using a statistic to define a probability that it doesn't actually define.

I had something else to say after that, but got interrupted for inane BS and lost my train of thought.
I also don't like her argument that a scum v scum counterwagon is unlikely for a similar reason, because 2 scum wagons are unlikely to be selected simultaneously by random chance anyway.
I actually don't like this either though. I haven't (and have no intention of) looked at statistics for how likely town is to hunt scum vs. random selection, but my gut intuition is that it would be better than random chance. If that's the case, the odds of town splitting and picking two scum wagons at the same time would probably be higher than expected, as unintuitive as that might seem.

Okay. Is the kind of sparse content on track for penguin? They seem a little light.

You mean disappear? He hasn't done anything that made me think town, but it's still too early to tell. In Ktane, I didn't think Cephrir was town until like mid-to-late day 1.

I actually kind of wonder why BBT dislikes the Ceph wagon

and I appreciate, and I appreciate Cor going into the topic during your time off. My main takeaways are an increased skepticism on Puppets level of motivation to solve in this game, a slight town lean on the Cor slot, the danger of conflating probability with statistics (and I need to review the definition of random events), and the point how scum v scum wagons might be more common than I've been giving them credit for.
