rayn: I honestly think you are missing something here.

Scum not having their "optimal" roles is way more important than town not having its "optimal" roles. Town can win this game with all VTs if we need to, as long as scum doesn't have their "perfect" team. And the kicker is that scum aren't ever going to pick most of the town optimal roles (except maybe inventor) because they just aren't useful to scum and they have no reason to deny them from town. They would just be better off picking mediocre scum roles.

Yes

I agree with CPRdoc.
Why is it more beneficial for town to have top 1-3 to deny voterigger/janitor than them picking a good role like Inventor and have 4-7 worry about those roles?


Because as it was said EARLIER
AND IN THE FUCKING GAME I LINKED WHICH YOU DIDNT READ.

That denying scum roles is more important than picking town roles.

also we cant control 4-7 and I dont intend to ask them to claim so WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY PICKED.

We can't control anyone. Denying "scum roles" in 1-> is stupid.
So we disagree.

EBWOP: I meant to say "having people in "1-> to absolutely deny scum favored roles" is stupid."

No. Scum want to have a good variety of roles that are strong and work well together. For example medic is a fucking good role to scum, but not picked in the first ~6 slots (because you basically out yourself by doing so). I agree that there are many ways for scum to play this game, that's why i don't want to tell anyone what to pick. That's come up later when analyzing players.

Um how? we dont claim right?

Scum want to get as much KP as possible I think, cause more townies around longer isnt good.

Whats wrong with my plan Rayn?

BLARFFFFFFFFFFFFFF........ Someone in the mid section is gonna pick medic anyways and that'll come out at some point. If you were #3 picking medic you were dumb, or scum.

The reason why this plan is awful goes beyond how well you can identify 5 town reads 16 hours in when setup is the only thing to talk about (which is simply pitifully if you arent aware). There is simply no way to force people to pick specific numbers. I wont be following it.

So many different medics.

The point is if like #15 picked medic and got VT
there are 11 possibilities as to who picked medic.
Too many.

I dont think scum has a problem with that in the slightest.

I go back to my original plan which is to let the order fall as it shall and not direct it.

1 scum read each everyone?

Having the top 3-5 have preset picks is both unfun and non-productive. It tells scum who to thieve/swap with. That's why the preset pick list is bad. It's exactly why my plan of pod picks is much, much better. It gives people freedom to choose while still providing strong uncertainty as to what exactly has been happening.

Well, you're just wrong. Preventing scum from getting the obviously powerful scum roles is exceptionally bad for town. Especially with roles like Janitor. Shit can go bad exceptionally fast in that regard. Roles aren't that important for town. Town will be smart and lynch scum. It's going to happen. Preventing "bad shit" is just as important as being able to do "cool shit."

I don't see how this has anything to do with "#1 must pick X role"? Or if it does, what should #1 pick then? I meant we can't say #1 MUST deny the most powerful scum role, or even #2 or #3..

You mean, as opposed to claiming, you want people to claim. After you said claiming is nonsense and doesn't work.


New rule, whoever tries to get someone lynched of a joke is scum.

RO is scum.

Am I mafia independently of the first sentence, or did I already try to get someone lynched without myself noticing?


Pointing out contradictions is pointing out that the dude is lying and therefore scum. So yeah.

Also WHO ARE YOU

If I wanted to point out a person is mafia, I would have pointed out a person is mafia. However, I did no such thing.


pshhhh

words.

Intention is far more important than mere WORDS.
Why did you phrase that 'question' to Caller in a way to appear like you are discrediting him?

it's not the facts that matter, it's the meaning behind the facts.
