It's not just a shot in the dark. At the current level of claims it's actually incredibly likely that scum get the bonus NK with no accountability.

If it was just Reck it wouldn't be so bad.

Can't we reconstruct that knowledge from the hoods though? I'm not convinced that knowing it in advance changes anything in that regard.

So show me where I'm wrong then.

I thought I demonstrated pretty clearly why you can't reconstruct it from the hoods.

Can we move on to no elimination and compliance? I am bored and this feels like an RVS that will last forever.

And you are acting like I am tip toeing when I have clearly been in favor of claiming the whole time. Have you even claimed your rooms yet? What I'm not convinced of is that we know enough about the setup to force others to agree, because basically the only way to do this is to threaten to vote them out otherwise. I think that not wanting share info is a reasonable position a townie might have and so I'm not in favor of voting people out if they don't comply. And if we aren't willing to do that then there is no way to actually get people to group how we want.

I would have to look again assuming that around half to 3/4 of town is actually grouped. I agree random is bad.

Because you are tip toeing around taking a stance that could upset anyone, or pressure anyone into doing things that are good for town.

You basically agree it's good for town, but then don't care if people do it at all. And then undermine that point with bad arguments that have already been made and debunked except no one wants to talk about it except to reiterate bad points.

And I've explained why I'm holding off on claiming my rooms and why I'm a special case (the repeat thing). I think anyone else with the same setup should likewise hold off until more people claim for the same reason, but it seems pretty uncommon.

And trying to point out that people are being anti-town is a good thing to do, it's not just don't-talk-about-it-but-vote-out-Reck.

It's a reasonable kneejerk reaction but most people don't seem to be presenting any actual reasoning beyond that initial knee-jerk.

I wasn't at any point suggesting going to random rooms.

The assumption of random is that everyone just doing one of their tasks amounts to random rooms, assuming roughly equal distribution of tasks among the rooms.
Except it doesn't. For instance, Alisae has two tasks. One takes her to electrical the other to another room. By actively selecting electrical, we force a room of three (assuming BM lives).

That's a strong reason for BM to live. He has to try and complete his one task and can have another passed off to him from the dead corpse. It's a win-win situation regardless of BM's alignment.
thanks Titus!

Not if he's scum????
It is.

We force him to take a task. It auto completes. If he refuses, we kill him.

The task lets us also control what room he goes to. So he's a liability to scum.
eh wtf? I'm town!!

In exchange, we avoid giving scum information and we get the tasks done slightly faster. I don't think this is worth it, and I haven't actually seen an argument that it is, beyond vague handwaving and dogmatism.
I agree with you.

i'm sympathetic to this. Looking back at Pooky-logic vs Reck-logic, I still think the former is a better bet.

If we were going to do this I think that Reck is the least likely to hit scum. HC is better IMO

Like I don't think 2 kills tonight is that bad considering I think we will get info from the kill and it is basically the same as miselim > normal kill.

This wasn't on the list of things I think I'd read upon my lazy half-ass skim :D But I'll take it.

Flea/OWER/Murder
, you all have very different vibes than in https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=84987 where I was scum hydra with
Ali
wolfing on all of you townies

flea
, you are much more upfront with POV, kind of hard to navigate and get to the meat of your posting, and you take so much initiative here that I don't know how genuine that is.

OWER
, your dog pic is really fucking cute and that probably contributes to the pocket, can you give me an in depth take on
BM/Ali/Pooky
? You are far more active in pushing your ideas than the linked game above.

Murder
, WHERE YOU AT? methinks I skim over you so much that you are an assassin meant to kill us all quietly... but tbh I sympathize, I think I'd be FAR less
"not-on-the-radar"
if people took the time to read me more.

I stand by
Bell/Ali/Pooky/Reck/OWER/Gamma
town
TENTATIVELY
. I want to reread them as well as
BM/Murder/Flea
before I double-down 100%.

If I can make a solid towncore with at LEAST 6-7 people AND find a vote this dayphase, I'd be golden with solving in the future.

DG
;3 I'll vote soon, I never disappoint.

also who is
Blitzo
? i demand everybody who reads this post to say
"
Blitzo
is town/scum/?"
so I can gauge how many wagons this gamestate actually wants to have...


BM's play is far different from what I remember in the game I played with him, where was very active in engaging other people and wasn't really a passive fluff-poster like he is here. Especially given there's a lot of contradictions in his play so far. (Compare 111 to 129, 75 and 153). Other posts like 198 and such ping me.
I can understand that. It's a much different game as I've already said. Larger player list, more mech-heavy. I tend to be more influential in smaller games (for obvious reasons). I can't speak to contradictions without you giving me some quotes.

This assumes we no elim of course. Also everyone who doesn't claim is more likely to be a bonus kill tonight so we can get the same result without risking 3 dead town.

like the counterargument to the plan of "we cant let the scum know where we are" doesnt make sense when half the player list has already claimed their locations.

This is an attitude I see both you and BM spouting and it's just like:

People have solid reads, wagons are being started, people are pushing.

Were also only 3 days into deadline.

How the fuck does this possibly feel like RVS? Why are you so quick to end the day; even if your going with Pooky's plan, there's still a lack of claims so ending the day early with a No Elim vote would be awful?
