our goal should be to get close to each other and shine flashlights to identify angels, right? I'm assuming vigi and DT powers work like angel feeding-- that is to say, reliant on the board to operate

yeah i'm pretty sure you can't really shine at angels from a safe distance. maybe this is just me but it seems like our flashlights have pretty short range.

in terms of angels feeding on people, I'm fairly sure they're just gonna run up to us and start doing it anyways. If we all like delta split then it's possible if the angels are all in one place it'll slow them down a bit, but I don't think this is a good way of doing things, especially with the angles controlling fake players.

I guess it really depends on how fast angels move. If they are slow (2 or 3 move) then we should split up to slow down the feeding process. i suspect, (and this would make sense from a balance perspective too), that they are fast and we'll suffer from one feed per night basically regardless unless our various PRs can do their thing. our flashlights and vision are short range. I bet PRs work the same way. apart, we are weak, but together, we are strong.

It's the value of doing something yourself that you expect others to be doing. There's no point wildly accusing people of not scumhunting, when you have done literally zero scumhunting. Your filter is one of the longest in the game and yet it is completely devoid of any meaningless content.

In my humble opinion; the two events are trying to achieve different outcomes.

mass Roleclaim: as far as I understand it, is an attempt to solve the game setup; and establish individuals as confirmed town/scum.

Forced VT claim: is an attempt to understand whether "key roles" are in the game. The action itself should not be used to establish individuals as confirmed town/scum.

I see a clear dichotomy.

And for Oats, because I WOULD like to see most people state 3 powerful roles and WHY they want to deny those from mafia.

(1) CPR doc - In mafia hands this is a multi-shot vig but without accountability (america = multi-shot nuker but has to publicly out self). Doubles mafia KP, but secretly.

(2) Assassin - See above. Mafia knows all alignments, therefore this is a multi-shot vig without accountability.

(3) Janitor - Information from flips good for town. Lack of that information for town bad. LOTS of KP roles in this game, good chance that some townies will be firing as well as mafia maybe getting extra KP, so there's the chance to hide multiple flips.

(4) Role swapper/copy cat - These are dangerous only in that they can be used to get dangerous roles. Role swapper somewhat prevents town from denying mafia a role, but power still out of mafia hands for a night and the town role swapper then basically can DT check someone (if they've claimed, see if they're lying. If not, can you tell whether they've used their role, and in a townie/scummy way?). Copy cat another way to try and get a strong power passed down.

Roles that I considered but dont' think are as strong as they look:

(1) Hooker - Multi-shot vig without accountability. Stronger than the above because you CAN infect multiple targets. Weaker than the above because can be medic protected off. Also weaker than the above because, HOPEFULLY, if a townie knows he's going to die next cycle, he can be very vocal and is trustworthy/semi-confirmed-town (given that town hookers shouldn't be hooking willy-nilly, so we can assume he was targeted by a mafia hooker).

I strongly oppose a policy lynch on Oats. I'm sure the guy is readable. the fact of the matter is, the guy acts like this always in themed games as town. If you lynch him you're saying "i personally don't like oats" at this point

now like i will be on him (and others) for productivity going forwards but based on oats acting like he literally always acts you can't say he's scum. all you can say is you don't like him

Honestly your non-contribution imo is a big lead. I'm willing to eat my hat on that, etc etc. For what it's worth, if you are in fact a townie, you should share your thoughts with the thread before you flip. I drew a lot of my analysis from reading marv's filter etc knowing that he was town. I'd like you to leave behind, if not something comparably useful for us, something at least non-useless.

of course, if you're scum, feel free to ignore this and continue lurking!
