And the game’s unique mechanic makes sure that he gets a fair shake at hunting if he’s town this game,

He’ll probably just throw the scroll in my face tho.
why would you execute a plan in which you'd probably die ultimately

Hello! How I've missed you all!

Vote: Pooky



Since town gets to control at least two of the eliminated each day (the first scroll bearer and at least one of the next two), I think that we should use a points based voting system to rank who gets E'd from the game. I propose that we all pick our top three suspects each day, rank them, first choice gets 4 points, second gets 2, and third gets 1. (The exact number of points is up for debate, but hey ho this is what I settled on as a pretty straightforward one, which I think is better that 3,2,1 at reflecting people wanting to E their first choices). I think adding up the points will give pretty good guidance to the cursed where to pass the scroll and will hopefully be more accurate than treating the scroll as a vengeful shot.

For the first pick, I'm pretty happy sticking with the usual voting, but I'd also be curious to see if using the ranking system produces good elims generally.

It’s somewhat an annoying curse
When one is forced to speak in verse
Though this from Hectic I’d expect
It harms my power to detect
Yet this trifling impediment
Does not mean I’ll be negligent
The game begins with a full day
Easy to hide out of the way
I could just lurk and survive this
But I’d prefer to be LAMIST
‘I’m town’ I’ll cry from my rooftop
Not kill nor vote shall make me stop
Now all, convinced I’m innocent
And may I add, magnificent
Shall back me up as I scumhunt
Leading the town right from the front
The scroll will pass from hand to hand
And on the scum shall surely land
The mafia we won’t acquit
We’ll kill them all, it will be lit
There's no reaching. I've become enlightened.

In post 14, Bell wrote:My understanding is that scum get one day vig you can’t shoot a scroll holder.
We get three flips at once.
That occur over a 7 day voting phase.
Then 2 baton passes for an additional 6 days of content.
3 flips repeat.
No scum NK?
You have a pretty good understanding of the setup, up until the part where you question whether or not scum has a NK. What is your intention behind the last line?

While at first glance this may seem good
I'd oppose this, don't think we should
I'd be concerned of the EVs
Counting charisma changes these

There's twenty of us, five are scum
And no nightkills from them will come
If one of five doth top our list
They shall continue to exist
If a single one appears town
Victory will not come around

Sure mafia can kill obvgood
Discussing picks in their dayhood
Best case is twelve dead by day four
One good read then would doom us, aw

Scum in top threeish is loss right
So point system may not delight

Hey Isis you were the reviewer
How should we best make scum fewer
You must have thoughts on the setup
I'd recommend you cough 'em up

Hopkirk, you seem to be arguing that people should indulge their personal scum-reads and pass the scroll to players who are generally read as town, just in case one of them is scum. Is that a fair assessment?

I'm pretty sure that doing that will be worse for town in the long run.

No, don't give the scroll to obvtown
That would just bring our win rate down
More, the list is easy to game
Follow too closely feels a shame

I'll rephrase the flaw if I may
Even if we kill one each day
That leaves us little wriggle room
To find the last or soon face doom

hi I'm the backup/co-mod
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
