So about that.
My other head took a break from Mafia a few months ago. He was down to give it another go as a hydra since this is my first game in a while as well, but still doesn't feel like playing.
Guess he might read parts of the game if I ask him to, if there's anything specific y'all want I'll ask.

I think 10 is intentionally chosen to outperform as many duplicates as possible safely, so that feels earnest.
Not in a vacuum, but I'm assuming scum would have access to these stats - and if I were doing my due diligence I'd collect statistics of
all picks
, not just scum picks to go for the best bet to avoid collisions.
That data might suggest 13+ as a safer choice without much compromise. Curious to see if there's a cliff in the overall data.

ah ya sorry that's my point - I think there's a >rand chance scum have done something intentionally improbable with the draft and I feel uncomfortable with the idea that people have done numerical analysis without also feeling like they're in some topsy turvy timeline where numbers are fake

You are having a giggle, right?
this & subsequent post made me smile but I buy the townread honestly. lol. ha+ha aren't a popular townread and reading them positively isn't winning managal any popularity points.
I think both heads of ha+ha are capable of doing this as either alignment. they're still firmly within scumrange. I just think I can buy managal townreading there for now.
The read needs to get more nuanced or take a backseat or I'll start scumreading her tho.
