I was using the word tunnel in the sense that you tend to focus COMPLETELY on one very specific person at a time when you had not looked at them at all before. Like I said, tunnel-ish. I lacked a better word.

I am downright puzzled at how this setup is balanced. I don't doubt that it probably is relativity balanced... but a scum team with communication nerfed and the list of power roles for town...

o_O

Is there like a lynch proof scum or some BS?

i would be very surprised if there was a lynch proof scum, since town doesn't have KP roles, it seems.

I was half joking and half afraid that the idea is that the scum have to kill that scum... meaning checkmate if he is last dead.

I don't really believe that (if its the truth we can't really plan for it or counter it) but this town is full of power roles.

I have no interest in lynching redFF if I'm alive at the next day post. Nobody else should either.
However if red cannot or will not or gives a bogus explanation for his vote/unvote bs after tomorrow I will have no problem killing him over whoever else is remaining. I strongly urge which ever of us is remaining from Lanaia's pool of townies to take the same approach to red.

I basically can't find fault with this even with your claim in mind red.

I know what the deal was with the vote bs, V7. I can explain if you'd like.

What we know from Lanaia's stuff
Investigated by Lanaia:
Blazinghand returned "town"
CWave returned "town

Uninvestigated:
Zephirdd
V7
GGQ
redFF

So far we have killed two mafia members, Scamp and Hesmyrr. In a balanced setup I'd anticipate two of the Uninvestigated players are mafia. It seems consistent to me that this be the case, so Zeph/GGQ as remaining scum.

Our blues
In terms of having a stacked town, we are now up to 3 confirmed roles, 2 unconfirmed roles.

confirmed: lanaia as DT, Rad as Inception, Jack as Senator
unconfirmed: V7 as DT, redFF as Bulletproof

This seems pretty stacked, right? 5 blues, 4 scum in a 15 player game with imperfect scumteam communication.

However, jack's role isn't that strong in this game, and he mostly stands as a win0condition-modifier:
"Mafia wins when they outnumber Town and Town has no killing roles remaining."

Jack's job was to make it so that in a 4-4 situation, Mafia wouldn't be able to control the vote before fulfilling their win condition.

That brings us down to 4 "real" blues. But we have no clue how strong inception agent is, and Bulletproof is good but redFF isn't a DT or a medic or anything. I'm not sure that it's imbalanced for all the claims to be true AND there to be exactly 4 mafia.

Thats it in a nutshell yes. Good point about the 'win condition mod.' That seems to make some sense. I still am honestly nervous about red but like...

From Scummiest to Not as Scummiest -

GGQ (99.9999% confirmed)
Zeph
RedFF

I keep thinking about Hess saying 5 scum.

I want to just turbo through these days now.

Yeah I mean, I guess the big thing is, even if there's a 5th scum, we should GGQ and Zeph first. If there are 4 scum, we win, and if there are 5 scum, well... crap, we already lost several phases ago.

Like, ASSUMING there are 5 scum, we can still get a draw, but only if redFF is clean. see, redFF is bulletproof, and after we've lynched GGQ and Zeph (and 2 of V7, blazinghand, and cwave have been shot), it'll be redFF and a scum player hanging out in the thread, unable to lynch or shoot, in a draw situation.

In the 5 scum situation, cwave or I is a godfather or vader7 is a scum DT.

Cya. I think we basically have this locked up as a win for town if there's 4 scum, a draw if there's a 5th scum, or a loss of redFF is the 5th scum.

Would anyone be opposed to switching to a 24/24 cycle?

v7 could be a scum rolecop of some sort doing some bussing of sexyness but i doubt that. If we lynch ggq and zeph and the game isn't over then we will have to look over stuff more carefully.

If 2 cops is true then it's highly likely there's a gf in this game.
