Now, here's why this whole conversation is stupid and Vengeful eclipses Dance

. If we pick Dance, the benefit is we get to pick two players to kill. The most likely result is we lynch 2 LHF, one of the scum probably ends up with TMCK who ya'll have publicly declared immune to lynch, and generally scum get to control the narrative. It does let us kill two players without a night kill, which basically makes it close to straight up better than Veto at this stage in the game, so there's that. However, let's look at Vengeful.

Vengeful, if we lynch town, we/they get to pick a second shot. Essentially, still two dead people with control of town and no night kill, just like 8ball but actually safer. So it accomplishes the same as Dance, with the benefit that we control the two people we kill, scum doesn't. Dance is narrative building from scum, they hold the cards, whereas with Vengeful we do. Keep in mind 3 scum 12 lynchable town (there's an IC) makes it mathematically not likely to hit scum, so the most probable outcome is 1-2 dead town. If we lynch scum, they kill TMCK. I don't get why you're all acting like that's a bad thing. If we lynch scum, that means we have now killed

2 scum and only 1 town

. Its literally fucking 12:2, *and* we still have a bunch of cool shit

. Quiz is free at that point as it makes another IC; scum literally do not have the numbers to put up a scum to get the 3 night kills. I illustrated this above. So, we create another IC (this time with bulletproof!) along with a lynch, and then there's still coalition / veto to clean up coalition / 1of4 to find the last scum / reveal to create

another

IC / etc. If we lynch scum today we close to auto win in this setup. Ank said this is the same as a lynch if we hit scum; yes, it is, and lynching scum auto wins with these numbers in this setup with even a *little* bit of skill. Lynching scum with

Dance accomplishes the same thing, which is why I still think its the second best option, but vengeful's utility eclipses it

.

Does that make sense? If eli7 wasn't good enough I can eli5 it.

Vengeful:
If a majority is not achieved by deadline, the power is forfeited, and the Mafia may kill that Night.

If a town player is eliminated and the Mafia control 50% of the votes, the Mafia immediately win and the eliminated townie does not get a vengekill.

I think a deep wolf is pretty likely.

That I am very likely right and Titus’ theory about all 3 scum being in failed coalition, is highly improbable.

I also can’t see a world where either RC or Sky is ever scum here and I know I’m not. Especially now, that I’m having great trouble understanding how town!Maki ever hardpushes a power that could win scum the game in a single day.

Town cannot use venge in lylo. That's part of why RC isn't lock clear.

I can see a world where RC scum does things and just diverts from the pair. I don't think it's likely, even assume RC scum. RC may not even be scum.

Right now, you really feel like the person who protests to much and does strawmen.

If you gave nothing to hide, why not sheep my coalition?

The answer should be blatantly obvious to you.

I obviously don’t think it highly likely and neither did you earlier so again, I want to know what made you change your mind on that?

Why aren’t you answering, considering how extremely relevant that is to your theory about 3 scum in failed coalition?

It's not. I never changed my read. I just don't lock town the same people you do.

It's easy to create multiple viable teams with assuming matching.

No, I mean why I’m not sheeping your coalition, because I don’t believe 3 scum in failed coalition, which is why I’m trying to understand why any competent scumteam would pair Chemist/Creature scum together.

They could have easily been lynched over Oka/BEF and your theory would imply that scum would have taken that risk despite that.

Also, Moon is super enthusiastic about it - too enthusiastic, which definitely concerns me as well.
