Micro 1003: Divide and Conquer - Game Over!

I reckon towns are too good these days for setups like this

Probably, what's the EV?

What Vanders was talking about with math was the EV. Depending on strategies, town should win somewhere between 40 and 50% of the time.

The problem is that the setup inevitably gives a bunch of info that is really hard to quantify so the EV is largely pointless as a meter stick.

I don't think the setup itself was the issue here, but rather the specific situation of Pooky/Skitter being the team and town obvtowning pretty hard from the beginning. A town sweep doesn't mean necessarily mean the setup is broken and I think pretty much any other rand would have played out very differently.

I agree that town obvtowning really quickly was the problem, I'm not sure if the rand would've made that different though. In any plist with a bunch of people who know each other it's gonna happen a decent percentage of the time.

Yeah, but that's gonna be an issue regardless of setup. Any rand without the Pooky/Skit split to create the spotlight in the first place leaves scum in a better position, and any rand of a 9 person where >50% of the town has the immediate capacity to be recognized as town is tough.

I'm just saying I wouldn't say that the setup isn't viable based on this run because this was a really high quality PL.
