I think the NK was unnecessary. Scum can make use of the nomination phases to position themselves if they play proactively, I don't think the original Nomination setup required a change. But I didn't feel particularly hobbled this game by the NK either, I think the game was very winnable as town even with marv getting shot.

In the end, while frustrating, I had a good time playing it mostly. Sometimes. I guess because I took longer breaks from it than I should have. It gets away from you quickly, though that wasn't as much of a problem once the activity on the whole plummeted.

Like I had lingering suspicion that Palmar was scum playing me the way Wave and HF were ACTUALLY playing me. He was basically unlynchable from the very first Nomination. Imagine if he /were/ scum.

That's the POINT of the game though yamato, to be townie enough to be nominated for lynch by scum. Scum HAVE to try and play that way too to blend in. It's not the setup's fault that most players don't play that way.

That first nomination could have been Risen/geript/Oats. geript lives in that nomination approximately 90% of the time. He then becomes soft confirmed town the rest of the game. He plays a mean soft-confirmed town too, except that he replaced out.

Like I would have put NONE of the top townie players this game in the nomination, because ALL of them are capable of looking relatively townie as scum. All of them. And they all know it, but they're all town so they don't all /know/ it.

That's what I would have done anyway. What you guys did was cool too.

Why on a regular day? In my fictional scum fairytale we're putting your "regular mislynch" players in the Nominations. You want to mislynch the good townies on regular days. We're talking about scum who are playing proactively, not the ~~lurky bullshit~~ aloofly distracted playstyle you guys were doing.

Like I think it's legitimately more difficult for good players to differentiate between bad, or low content trolly players than it is to differentiate between good ones. Do you disagree?
