Funny, I wasn't aware that attempting to solve the distribution of scumteams in a multiball was a non-town thing and unrealistic to be done.
Today I learned!
Maybe in future towngames I won't solve the game then!
Clearly not a thing actual town players do.
...Now I admit. I didn't finish it to my satisfaction. And the thoughts were tied more loosely than I'd prefer. I basically went into an ADHD mode where I started with one post and ended up with an entirely different post because the point I was originally making shifted into a different one that I couldn't finish.
But like.
A valid scumhunting tactic is, person by person, listing every possible pair (pair, not full team), as viable vs. not viable.
And then, removing the not viable ones, list every possible three-person team.
I didn't do that to the extent I was aiming for (I lost my lucidity too quickly), but I was using that same methodology.
I used some shortcuts--I left out every combo involving those that I am locktowning (because they are all town, natch).
And I didn't properly lay out every combo.
With seven players, there's, ah, lemme math it out fast,
{1, 2}
{1, 3}
{1, 4}
{1, 5}
{1, 6}
{1, 7}
{2, 3}
{2, 4}
{2, 5}
{2, 6}
{2, 7}
{3, 4}
{3, 5}
{3, 6}
{3, 7}
{4, 5}
{4, 6}
{4, 7}
{5, 6}
{5, 7}
{6, 7}
...21 possible two-man combos.
And after you remove the combos that are basically impossible, you can narrow down the resulting 3-man combos.
Now, I need to redo the list and do it better. The above formatting?
I need to do it as, well,
{MMR, unwnd}
{MMR, furtiveglance}
{MMR, Firebringer}
{MMR, Scarfmanship}
{MMR, Toogeloo}
{MMR, Radical Rat}
{unwnd, furtiveglance}
{unwind, Firebringer}
etc.
I can do that!
I just need to be more lucid than I was at 5:45 am last night, and more lucid than I am right now. (I'm as tired right now at 1:45 as I was at 5:45 last night. I dunno why.)
It would be useful to do.
I just need to find the time and lucidity to do it, and it's not a top priority because I don't need to find the exact scumteam, I just need to find a scum. Which I have.
