Open 769 Mafia Chat

[TheWizard]

This is the mafia chat for Open 769. Each of you must submit two (natural) draft numbers within 48 hours. The mafia are Sirfetchd, skitter30, and Billy Pilgrim.

[Billy Pilgrim]

Hi all. Looking forward to playing with you. I was thinking selecting spot 4 and 8. I also thought trying to get the perfectionist big slot as scum would be interesting.

[Billy Pilgrim]

Also, I'm pretty new still so any help would be appreciated.

[skitter30]

Sigh

All i want to be is town :/

Ok any thoughts on what numbers to pick? One of us should take the high random number so as to get a pick before all the doubles

[skitter30]

Funfact: this is the setup i won my scummy for last year

[skitter30]

Also i'm going to be vla on monday and tuesday

[skitter30]

Also why are we sending in two numbers @mod?

[skitter30]

And we'll def help you, billy

[skitter30]

Wait i thought this was the standard pyp x|y setup

I have to study the specifics of this setup a bit, then

[TheWizard]

Also why are we sending in two numbers @mod?

Because that's how the setup works . . .

[skitter30]

Ya i thought we were playing the original pyp x|y, sorry

[Billy Pilgrim]

I'm gonna use 4 and 8. I feel like 4 is low but not too low to maybe not get selected. 8 is quite high so it would dodge the doubles.

[skitter30]

I'm thinking one of us picks a very low number will probably double but if doesnf we get one of the first picks (like 1 and 2)

One of us picks a middling low number that may or may not double (4-6)

And one of us picks a random very high number taht is almost for sure not going to be doubled but will very probably be after all the singles (like 42)

Thoughts?

Also from past experience people who double are almost cleared from being scum together, but i wouldnt particularly recommend doing that on purpose

[Billy Pilgrim]

Your strategy makes sense, but I think if you pick it over the number of players like 15 or something it would work.

[skitter30]

?

[TheWizard]

Just a heads up, you guys have about 20 hours to submit your draft numbers.

[skitter30]

Did sirfetched confirm?
Also this might be an odd request but can i ask that we have the full 48 hours for picking numbers?

[TheWizard]

Yes he confirmed.

Of course.

[skitter30]

Tyty, i would like the 48 hours if possible

Hopefully he'll post here soon

[Sirfetchd]

We should force a double. How about me and Billy both go first pick 4.

Makes buses much more believable. Gonna have to kill worst/wooper if we do that though. He knows who I am and my record of bussing is prolific.

[Sirfetchd]

I only suggest that bc I will bus. And I probably will end up bussing Billy bc it would be great to swing a bloc.

[skitter30]

i'm not inherently against bussing but:

a) i don't want to have to carry until like 3way lylo, it's hard
b) i don't want to lose out on prs
c) i want to get as much info about the setup as possible

it will make us look fundementally unaligned but i'm not sure it's worth giving up these things ^

[Sirfetchd]

I guess I have a pretty clear slate. So our picks are 4,6 and I am thinking I like 2,528 is a good pick.

But also Farfetch'd dex number is 83 which could give me an out from the entire process if I go 8,3

[Sirfetchd]

Not gonna rock the boat on you, I'm hella rusty anyway and might be a liability.

[skitter30]

ok
so billy is 4,8
you're 4,6?

i want to try to go for at least one single tho if we're purposefully going doubles then i want to go for a high single (like 42 or something), as opposed to a low single that might end up doubled. i want to make sure we get at least a chance at getting some prs

(i'm not sure this is suuuuch a great idea but if you and billy want to do it i won't object)
