A successful RNG campaign is like getting the 1500wins with all 3 races achievement in starcraft. i.e. its fuckn hard achievement (even 2 years into SC) To do this in the newbie league, is like getting the 1500wins with all 3 races achievement NOW in Heart of the Swarm. Fellow newbies, we have an opportunity here to be part of something great. Something unique. SOMETHING that will be recorded in the history of TL-Forum Mafia. We may even make the 2013 TL Mafia awards for BEST PLAY 2013. How can you seriously consider turning down this opportunity? Join me! ##Vote: RNG For those worried about "hacking the source". that is fine.(what he said went over my head). That is fine, im here to look for solutions to get this bandwagon starting. How about: Make a live video of opening a new workbook in excel, setup a random number between 1-13 and lynch from that. I dont see how that can be faked (because its new, there is no vba behind it). Start the live feed by posting in the thread, so we know its live as well? | ||

e: probably still easily fake-able (even live) if you're a video processing wizard, but I don't really know (I'm a software wizard by profession  ) | ||

Blank day, waste of time and only really reduces town chance of winning Have you gone through every newbie, and recorded the success rate of hitting scum Day 1? If not, perhaps you're not in a position to give an opinion that is indicative of expertise. Let me tell you, we are up to Newbie 37. The last game I know of scum lynched Day1 = newbie 31. The last game before that, is so long ago, it is a statistical outlier. 1 D1 scum in 6 games = 16.6% chance to lynch scum RNG (3 / 13) = 23% chance to lynch scum. Dunno about you, but my maths suggest 23% >>> 16.6% Henceforth, RNG >>> Newbie Scum hunting. | ||

Look at the post below The percentages speak for themselves. If you do not vote RNG after the Role PMs, then YOU SIR, are scummy in my eyes! | ||

You might conceivably have a better chance of hitting scum with RNG then with scumhunting (I don't believe that, but whatever). Even if that's true the difference wouldn't be huge. With an RNG lynch you lose ALL the information from the day one lynch, which is basically the point of a day one lynch. If you're not getting any information you may as well no-lynch and have done with it. Conclusion: RNG lynch is terribad. You're better off no-lynching, which is itself terribad. | ||

Guess you forgot about your Day1 mislynch campaign on Spaghetticus already. Its OK, everyone can name 13 people in the obs qt to hit scum Day 1  | ||

I would contest you gain MORE INFORMATION. Why? If the RNG is scum; who is going to save their buddies from a Day1 "mislynch". I should *NOT* need to explain this one to you. The percentages speak for themselves. RNG >> Newbie level scum hunting | ||

In XXXI I wanted to lynch Kick day 1, and he was scum (Kick is always scum in my games, go figure.) But my actual point is... the reactions of everyone to that case on Spaghetticus told me FAR, FAR more than a random lynch would have. | ||

Edit: You do seem to be assuming that you'll always hit scum with a RNG lynch. Which is so very not true. | ||

You know if someone else wrote this RNG stuff, I am not so certain you would bother saying your 2cents. Regardless, Anyone can say they had a scum read on Day1 in the firing line. This game isnt about shoulda, woulda, coulda. Its about who has the majority when the timer runs out. Suffice to say, your track record isn't looking relevant to coming in here and playing the expert card. | ||

I'm not sold on RNG though, and I think using a predetermined RNG from the pre-game is probably cheating. The difference between (unmanipulated) RNG and trying to lynch a scum (absent an obvious scumslip) is huge. Scums use their information advantage to lead the bandwagon on D1 to make sure a town is lynched. They can use multiple town targets to obfuscate their voting patterns. True RNG is random, which a D1 "scumhunt" will never be. e: To clarify, a true RNG has a chance of hitting scum D1. Absent terribly bad scum play, trying to hunt scum D1 has a 100% chance of lynching a town (although there can be information in the voting patterns). | ||

Edit: You do seem to be assuming that you'll always hit scum with a RNG lynch. Which is so very not true. Im not pretending the game is solved by implementing Day1 RNG. Im also not pretending OR overstating that the game is solved by scum hunting Day 1. I am stating, RNG gives us statistically a better chance to have town in even-stead with scum Day2. That has not been refuted by any arguments thus far. You act as if RNG means, discussion in town is over; in fact it is not. Discussion continues, one guy is voted; and the hunt continues for more scum. Stop pretending as if this action stops all other criteria for good town play. It most certainly does not. | ||
