Also, I did RNG the setup out of the six possible setups. The numbers on the three setups are definitely slightly mafia favored. If I had to guess, the double blue roles are a bit harsher for town, than the single blue are for mafia, but probably not as extreme as 25 : 75 like you claim. With a random setup like this, you have to average the possibilities for the overall balance, though ideally the parity cop//doctor one should probably be removed, which Palmar ran originally. Even that game came down to a double LYLO, rather than being won by blue actions.

If I had to do the numbers, I'd probably say cop/jailer is about 40:60. I think you're over-estimating the success rate of a parity cop pulling off a meaningful d3 check, though I do admit that I would have preferred a single blue setup. If the cop is not shot, role cop'd, jailed, lynched by day three and town believes the check at a likely lylo position, you're still only dealing with 1 alignment check with a different check vs a dead player, or a same/different check from alive players where town still needs to make a decision at lylo.

On not sure how the hydra factor comes into play. In the past versions of the game, I've heard town say its easier because they have someone to bounce ideas off of and I've heard mafia say its easier because each mafia player doubles their chances of being seen as the "so active he has to be town" player.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

Eden got you lynched. On his own. He is like Koshi jr. But he did it on a scum rayn. I only get town rayn lynched.

All in all tho it's obvious my save game needs work since I missed w/25% random chance to save n1... A normal doc would dream of such odds. Lol
What do y'all consider optimal save strat? My reason for top town read is I assume I won't outguess the mafia and try to create best floor which is "ensure top town read safe"

Eden1892 the problem is town lynched town on D1. Noone really looks "better" than anyone else based on the votes and the game has been going on for not so long. Your townread might very well be scum. Hell even if they led a lynch on scum they would probably not be hit because possible protective role(s).

The best play definitely is to protect the "biggest asset" to the town. I told Slendy on phne at some point to kill Palmar because marv get's docced 100%. I didn't even realize we had 2kp and my first reaction on seeing the daypost was "HAHA WHO THE FUCK SHOT ON THOSE GUYS?!?!?".

Yeah, one of my worst scumgames.
Sorry team <3

Protect your assets, not the dude likeliest to be town (unless he is also clearly an asset)

Also minigames are definitely townfavoured. Really really really town favoured, if you need three mislynches.
There is just no room to hide for mafia in case at least SOME townies play really well.
Also also hydra game makes it town favoured x2.

And i always roll fucking mafia in hydra games. Annoying shit, next time there is a hydra game i am confirmed mafia and you can just lynch me.

I guess we disagree on who was best assets then. I felt OK was best asset too tbh. Maybe I misread/got tunnel but I felt like we were by far doing the most work itt

I was in a mini in which scum needed 4 misslynches if the selfprotecting doc got a safe off.

I was scum so we won but that was fucking hard.

The Plays

You can work out likelihoods though. That's what makes a good blue. You made a protect which had very little chance of making a save.

You can carry on thinking that protecting your top townread is the correct play though.

With no meta knowledge to speak of? Not really, even if I just tried to random pick a vet, I saw all the vets snoozing thru d1 and saved a guy I felt sure was town instead


I'm not trying to discredit OK's clear town play on D1, but for a bit of perspective, marv/Palmar have been killed n1 a combined 25 times, where as the sinani/OK haven't been hit once, as far as I can tell. When certain vets like that are not clear town, they are actually more likely to take a hit because the mafia team can be more confident that their shots will go through.

doing most work != best asset.

You both lynched a town with utter certainty. That isn't a slight on your play or anything, shit happens. But you'd both been proven to be demonstrably very wrong.

I mean I got NK after my final reads on N1 which were that all townies were town and both mafia were in a pool of 3.

I think I should stop making big posts. This clearly shows my cases were completely ignored.
Btw, what is smashboard?

And kita, can you give me tips on the way I've played this game?
