Let's keep this spoiler-free please.
Since we're in pregame... who would you have drafted if you were scum? Who would you have drafted to townside? Do you think this plist stacks for town, or scum?

[the worst]

quack

[skitter30]

Who would i pick or who would titus/ali pick, because those are very different questions

[Menalque]

Spoiler: draft picks as town

Ank
Sherlock and Watson

Pine
Amrun

Gobbles
FA

Spoiler: draft picks as scum

Pine

FL

Chemist

AFF

[Menalque]

These are my personal picks, not what I think ali or Titus would pick

[Menalque]

There’s multiple unknown quantities to me in the PL but at a glance it’s stacked toward scum

[skitter30]

P similar to mine but if scum have first pick i maybe steal ank

Rr i can also see being picked either way, and potentially masonized too

I might pick fl, but ali doesnt

[skitter30]

Wait u guys draft town, right?

[Menalque]

I’ve never heard of RR before

Ank doesn’t get picked for me because I don’t think she synergizes that well with the rest of the team, and she’s a decent shout for a top mason pick so she’s eating the N1 kill regardless

[Menalque]

Did we settle on a hydra name last time skitt?

[Menalque]

My scumteam logic was 2 strategists who understand gamestate control along with two lower scum!equity players who overperform when being coached

[Menalque]

I would expect to lose at least one of my strategists within 2 days but by then things should already be underway

[the worst]

Who would i pick or who would titus/ali pick, because those are very different questions

who would *you* pick - it's more fun speccing hypothetically than trying to outguess the stumps imo, but if you want to do both i'd be curious

[skitter30]

they hydra and play large themes occasionally. i've never played with them but they're meant to be quite good together

ank i'd pick so that town doesn't have her more than anything else tbh

[the worst]

There’s multiple unknown quantities to me in the PL but at a glance it’s stacked toward scum

i generally agree with the plist being stacked towards a scum win

there are definitely large vectors (am i using that right?) for town power to insert itself in but VERY VERY much depends on how alignments/power roles fall...

[the worst]

Wait u guys draft town, right?

yup

draft went:
ali > ss > tw > ali > ss > tw > ali ..... until ali had 4 scum

[skitter30]

i don't remember but i was thinking coltaine in honor of the chain of dogs in deadhouse gates , which i was reading at the time we last discussed it
and the avi would be a crow

[the worst]

reasonably rational is one of the most well-known (and probably just outright one of the best) hydra dynamics in the last few years on MS - cerb & drixx are very very good friends but hilariously different as players. they're a treat to watch.

[skitter30]

i don't think i synergize with this list super well as scum tbh
or at least i don't know them well enough to be able to predict that

i'd probably pick like {fl, aaron, gobble} or something

and town!me picking masons: ank, krazy/pp, rr, pine maybe ?

[the worst]

why aaron for scum? @both of you
i don't have much experience with his scumgame at all

[skitter30]

hey synnergizes well with fl

[skitter30]

*he

[the worst]

that's a good call

[skitter30]

pine would also be p up there but he's like the 'obvious' pick and depending on how invested he'd be that could maybe be parlayed into a mislynch
