Right now, I think Rodan is the youngest child. Math inherited the "meanest" child slot.

But if we NL day 1 then we wouldn't have much info day 2 aside from the NK flip (who will be a townie) and any investigatives that decide to come out. And barring a good vig shot, we have no chance to kill mafia until day 2 in that case.

This. Plus we also then go to evens. Evens is much better for scum as it gives them a mylo kill most of the time.

Max I think we should lim. I was asking if geraintm thought we shouldn't.

Oh, ialways advocate no eliminatiom day 1. I believe we are much more likely to eliminate town than scum day 1, so why give them a free elim

See I think omo has at least scum equity. You might disagree, but in that case lim is better as killing scum usually has a bigger positive impact than the negative impact of killing a townie (there are less scum, thus we need to kill less to win, while scum needs to kill more).

This is actually a bad idea mechanically.

Assume we elim town 80% of the time D1 Scum 15% and no elim 5% (These numbers are pulled from my butt don’t quote me on them)

Assume the statistically likely 3 scum (it makes the argument easier to understand while we don’t know this it’s pretty likely)

Assume no vig either for simplicity

D1 is 10v3
8v3
6v3
4v3 on D4 worst case scenario

Contrast with no elim D1 you get
10v3
9v3
7v3
5v3 D4 on worst case scenario melo >> SOP is no elim here.
4v3

You’re looking at just two chances to hit scum before melo not three.
A wrong elim is almost certainly better than a no elim not just for info but because we don’t give scum a free Townie kill.

Instead of “hit” vs “miss” good play is more like building a block and filtration system.
The more we build and communicate and hone our filter the more likely we are to hit scum.
If we get rid of the scummiest (yes doesn’t always correspond to scum) now then elo becomes harder

It’s what town did not do in my recent scum game. Instead they went after PRs for mechanical reasons (and other reasons) after I poisoned the well. Galron who was by all accounts a lurker, same with Wheme both made it to elo. This should never happen even if both were town.

Here is a link to it.

For all intents and purposes Town should have won that game
It was odd night cop, even night rolecop, full doctor, two town neighbors
Vs
1 shot strongman, 1shot redirect, one shot flavor and doctor + informed that the two cop roles of some kind exist

Neighbors didn’t utilize hood that well
If town communicates no way we woulda won that game
Town was continually shooting itself in the foot

Don’t let perfection get in the way of “good”

Posted: **Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:12 am**

Town are always more likely to eliminate town than mafia barring investigative results. But not killing anyone means you completely miss your chance to get mafia. Night kills never hit scum, so you have to kill them during the day.

We get it, you're either scum claiming or you're a PR trying to hide yourself with scumminess so you don't get NK'd. Whatever, moving on.

This mentioning PR part seems TMI.
I don't understand how this seems TMI. How'd you come to this conclusion? The rest of your posting tracks, but this doesn't for me.

I just wanted you to play, you're coming off as very passive and just sheeping other people. Even when pressured you're just lightly flailing. I don't think you're necessarily scummy, but you're not really doing much to help town and the Kyokou read isn't good. Who do you suspect besides her?

I'm gonna write up a reads list and figure who to push from there. Idk if Dwlee is the right vote today.

Who are your town reads? Who looks scummy but not enough to vote them?

I waited to vote because I wanted to see reactions to my lack of vote. I think your reaction is the most interesting, it reads like you want to "gotcha" me for not voting. But all you're doing is implying it's suspicious. Compare this to Math who made a full scum case out of it.

I haven't been exactly laying low. Look at my ISO.
I've seen your ISO, a lot of your posts became very safe after your wagon cooled off. It's hard to read your posts and not notice how cautious you've been.

Power imbalance and DGB has a scum history of fake claiming cop.

I was shading it because I thought it would have to be VT for balance reasons (I expected a vig) and forgot about its odd crumb.

Scum like Titus have fake claimed cop so it was a if I had to drag her to elo thing but it was never the plan. When I am scum Titus town elos suck because she usually plays them right
