this self consciousness that it might be interpreted as lurking sort of bothers me
and i v read varsoon outing the neighborhood on the belief that at least one of the people in it is a wolf
i understood it to be less that varsoon thinks at least one person in there is scum and more that if there is, it'd be bad if people interpreted him not outing it as 'varsoon thinks his neighborhood was town/mostly town' or that the theoretical scum member might try to use his silence to their advantage later if he didn't out it
if leo had proceeded to make like just 1-2 posts after saying it would maybe bother me too but him actively participating while V/LA is pretty decent, even if they're not particularly useful content atm
@Wagonomics could you fix your formatting so the scores like up with the names?

well it was multiball in the last xyzzy game i participated in
and 24 players and only one organized scum faction would be interesting to balance out
although who knows maybe we have multiple independent killing roles in the game instead of a second scum faction
the flavor in the opening post definitely implies a vig or sk being in the game

Lol my homesite has plenty of 24p single ball games
24p is the standard size in fact there

Lol ok
I don’t really read that part, I frequently just read until I see the role and alignment

Still, acting like 24p single ball is weird is fucking stupid to me

Either way it all comes own to scumhunting.
I don't see the point in speculating about it before any flips.

Basically it completely throws a wrench in the rationale we can give for why someone is scum or not because each scum team can just fucking hunt the other instead of have to lie and swindle their way to victory.
It's trash.
Multiball is trash.

The winning play is to either make yourself SUCH A LIABILITY that no one would ever shoot you or to be such a NON PRESENCE that you don't even ping on the radar of someone with a kill, AS EITHER ALIGNMENT
Multiball literally encourages the WORST PLAY.

Furthermore, it's PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to balance against the swing inherit in a multiball setup.
I have NEVER seen it done.
