Okay, I can offer to not pair.
But what benefit do we have going into a dance with 10?

It's not about dance with 10 but the fact that the mafia have to kill before a single dance, it puts them in an awkward position.

Also, this will get mafia to panic, and hopefully make bad pairings for them, as they try to pair off quickly.

They only get one kill in the entire game. If they don't kill that's our benefit.

Not really.

I've seen no kills screw with game so bad it broke up the town and scum used chaos to win.
From pure numbers ur right, that should benefit town.
In practice, meh.

Ok but.... if we do scorched earth, the kill happens IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PRE-DANCE.

Which minimizes any Wifom effects of a kill/nokill scenario.

It also minimizes any benefit from scorching earth as far as associations too though.

The kill has less power, a no kill probably would be more powerful at that point since we have less info to work with.

That's just strictly wrong in a nightless lovers game. Like... 100% strictly wrong.

Okay I can not accept offers if this is a plan we are doing.

I don't care for min/max strategy for town.

If I was scum, I would no kill almost 80% of time because it feeds paranoia into any possible strong town pairs.
It would also amuse me, and 90% of why I play is for amusement 10% is for puzzle

That's great and all, but saying what you would personally do as scum won't help town.

I think I have played about as much nightless lovers as you, not sure, but I think ur point has merit but it's dependent on lots of stuff happening that I don't think generally happen early game.

This is like me arguing that day one has the worst information out of all the days, so I am going to probably drop it.

This is theory talk we can save post game or somewhere else.

I think it does.
but I don't think I need to spell out why so.

Also is that you vedithV

Yeah.

How you doing man? Seems like I haven't talked to you in forever?

Yeah I'm good, how about you?
Haven't seen you in games (alive at least) that I've been in for a while.

I took a small hiatus.
How's work?

I'm very interested in why Cabd agrees with me in principle but was the first to decry the idea.

I mean, sure, maybe Cabd is right about herding cats, but why would he put a stop to the discussion and idea right there. Even if we fail to execute the plan perfectly, the chaos caused by trying to implement it will show a lot of motivations much clearer. So I'm very concerned that Cabd put a kibosh on it so quickly, while also trying to appease my idea.

I'd be happy to see Cabd die in pre-dance.

Folks, we're not flooding the game thread with this shit. If it's non-game relevant, like catching up with a friend, happy for you, but take it to PMs or IMs or something.

Sometimes gets busy, other than that easy sailing
Last time we spoke properly you were moving, all settled?

Mafia is a social game.

Fair enough. I won't flood it here.

That's good on easy sailing.
Yeah funny thing on that, I just moved again, I am moving like once a year now, it's crazy.

So why you so down for not dancing with anyone?
Do you have two left feet?
