He's being disruptive to this discussion, just like you. You're just both doing it in different ways.

For you, at least, I expect a certain amount of repeating bad questions. Caller, I know little about, but that's the point of asking.

Do you want mafia getting all of the ridiculous OP roles and auto-winning the game?

I don't. So I plan against that happening.

ANYWAY, let's talk about Oats/Caller.

Pick one and call him mafia for a good reason. Gogo.

I think we should be discussing which roles we want to deny but I dont think its alignment indicative at all.
Sorry if I didnt make that clear.

Ok on to the role denying part.

1. How many roles do we want to deny.
Im thinking either 2-3 I think it gets substantial less useful as a strategy the more roles you want to deny
2. Which are those roles?
Im thinking the same as Redux
CPR doc and Janitor basically.

Right, if we get people to choose from a list even if mafia go early, they have a problem selecting from a list above them and must instead pick from a list below them. While they'll be able to coordinate things as such, it still makes them pick less powerful roles in general instead of more powerful roles.

Hai

rolepicking is stupid and doesn't work, thanks for spamming the thread.

So let's move on to why people are calling Caller scum when it's pretty clear he's not.

Anyone wanna take credit for that... Bueller? Bueller?

1st of all: Sharrant requested roles like america to not be picked by town. No, scum can use it before getting lynched, so it doesn't matter if it outs them. Town needs the best of the best of the best, sir.

My idea: We get to an agreement about a few of the towniest mofos based on activity, interest and good ideas, and accept that they will roll the highest possible numbers and nobody who is town must roll the same.

That will leave a mixed pool of null/scum. Scum's main target will be to stop these elected townies from having these roles, so they will try to use the same draft, maybe while another teammate sends in other numbers to try and snatch the role.

That's where the null townies come into play. They will never use the same numbers as the elected townie mofos, forcing scum to waste their picks on taking away good roles from good townies by using the same numbers, leaving a limited amount of scum who will indeed try to roll good shit, and who has to affront a horde of townies who are less likely to take good roles away from each other.

Bad side: People might not give a fuck about the plan, and people might disagree on someone most believe to be town.

nonono..

The most towniest guys obviously pick 1,2,3, etc..

As i said the guys top in drafting order are gonna fall fast, thay have the "best" roles after all (or at least likely). If you were mafia why would you push an idea that's good for town? Doesn't it hurt your team? If you were mafia why would you push an idea that's bad for town? Doesn't it draw suspicion to you?

Do you think bad plans are coming from town or from mafia? Why?

@ Caller

Reading OP helped a little with that.

The idea is good, there's not really much incentive for mafia to make plans or post at all at this stage. They have an excuse for not being active cause they might say they regard draft discussion as unimportant, so rayn's candidates are good choices. They spontaneously try to get the best out of the game, and if they push bad ideas they might look scummy, as rayn said.

Still have to read them in detail, but this argument holds anyway, given that activity and intention to influence thread are there, argument quality aside.
