Spread about 10 lbs of wifom icing on that cake.

See, I gathered that if he really was town, then you would need to be a town read at the time when they claimed to you.

But then I thought that 340 was shade at you for claiming to need more information, ie, his read was changing, especially given his 245 indicating that his read on you was not set in stone.

Maybe I just misread the intent of 340 then. The inconsistency has resolved itself

it was shade, but not read-changing shade.

This seems like a hard question to puzzle out.

Scum want players to turn demonic for their alternate win condition, so inherently this makes me think that we should just not give out shards.

But of course, there is the carrot of unlocking town demonic powers, so giving shards to town players can be good.

So the answer seems like if we are going to give out shards, that we should only give shards to town players who would get a reasonably strong benefit from the change.

But the conversations on which townies get good abilities from the shards seems anti-town, because then the scum team can accurately avoid giving out shards to townies who don't benefit any/much from the shards

(I am assuming that they can also give out shards, because otherwise their alternate win condition would be moot given the fact that we would just always stop handing out shards once we reach a "High" number of demonic players)

What about sending shards to mafia, since they are already are demons so sending shards doesn't affect them? I believe the mafia wins when convert at least 7 more town players into demons. Is my understanding of the setup is accurate? can someone validate and confirm on this?

i agree with all of your post which leaves me still unsure of what to do

you either leak role info to get it on someone useful,
give it to a townread and hope for the best,
or don't use it.

but i have no idea which of those is best.

In post 219, Sleez wrote:Why did Medea say she wasn't going to just give out her reads and play more hands off, and then proceeded to give out her reads?

been reading Snarky fishes posts and I really feel like they might be town. Aggressive sorting, frank discussion. Very pro town.

Also yeah, I'm taking a back seat because of work, sorry.

How about we drop the idea of shards and just eliminate scum in old fashion way

So I guess, I am landing on either giving no shards out at all, or possibly choosing 1 person that is being consensus town read, and say we are willing to give that person a shard, but then give them hammer power to decide for themselves if their benefit is worth it.

If they self hammer, they get a shard.

If they don't, then no shard for the day, and no one else talks about their shard worthiness?

That quote I just accidentally included bothered me because I can't tell if they're trying to lead conclusions or draw some.

this confuses me. i need to read the setup again!

i mean maybe but i don't want to throw away a powerful tool just because we're afraid of it.

i think this might be decent??

Giving scum shards seems really bad.

There are 3 mafia, and currently 0-2 demonic players, so at least 1 scum is human.

So, scum getting shards is like the worst possibly scenario. We would be helping their win condition, and we would be activating their demonic abilities

Lukewarm's plan sounds decent. The only problems I forsee is that perhaps scum can get a boost from a shard and also, sometimes town see a boost shiny and they might not fully think it through, also, just in general there's a risk that it outs power roles worth killing but on the other hand those players because they would be universally agreed on as town anyway were already a good scum target so it shouldn't really matter there.

Bell let’s assume for a second you’re wrong and I’m town. Who’s scum?

I haven't even really looked at the thread Annie and I already flip flopped on you.

I figured you had because fairylit brought it up somewhat recently, let me know when you are

I have way too many townreads atm

How many is too many?

Who are you not townreading?

I might not even be able to post tonight. I have work to do.

But my scum read died on you already. Though, I don't hide my meta tells at all, so like, if I say HAH NOTTY ONLY POSTS INSECURELY WHEN THEY'RE TOWN.

and then they post insecurely the next game I'm in I'm like, "what haz I done?"

I find myself with varying degrees of townreads on the Medea wagon. And ffery. And manatee. And Dunn. And you.

I don’t think scum is all in (Medea, AA9, Titus, Spiffy)

Mind you not all of them are like take it to the bank reads. I’m just probably cutting too much slack ans trying to figure out where.

I don’t, I feel like my Medea read should have been obvious to anyone actually reading

Knee deep in realizing we got our shelving units returned to us without the actual fucking rods to rebuild them with. Right now if I hold up the receiver all you're going to get is demonic screeching.
