I mean, it is "psuedo-random", but calling it that doesn't actually say anything negative about its use here. It's like noting that a dice roll isn't always perfectly random, or that it's really hard to generate randomness using computer. Sure, the Random class in Java isn't great, and maybe this is less random, but still this is SUPER random, so random you'd have to do it probably hundreds of thousands of time before there was a problem, or alternatively, due it a few hundred times per second or something.

It's random enough taht it's already way more random than it needs to be, and unlike literally all other attempts at RNG, it's provably not influenced by me.

I just don't take you seriously.

If I do that and you're town, one of us is almost certainly going to die.

If I do that and you're mafia, it won't help lynch you in any way.

It was mainly referring to the pressure on the votecount tool (with the harsh voting rules requiring its perfect functioning etc.). Well, I'm pretty confident in it after so many test games.

That doesn't make any sense.

Your reply isn't influenced by my alignment, only by yours.

Besides you might reverse that and say that if I'm mafia one of us is going to die, which is good.
Or that if I'm town it won't help get me lynched, which is also good.

But you chose to be a party pooper.
So you're mafia.

Anyways I was under the impression that TL towns have mostly beaten RNG in recent years.

Clear post editing? I agree he's felt a bit "forced" with his entrance.

He has been super fatigued of rolling scum since he rolled scum for several games in a row. In the last game or two he rolled scum, he barely played and complained about wanting to be town. This game, if Marv is scum, he'll probably say/do nothing. If he's town expect him to be excited and energized about finally being able to be town and "recharge his batteries". Contrast Scum Marv that's on his game, who busts out hecka sweet moves. Marv's alignment should be obvious this game, even after he reads this post from me.




in general, maybe, but

1. Not by much
2. the reasons I laid out (skilled scum players, vanilla setup without extra townies, etc) all apply here
3. even in setups where town does have these advantages, RNG is still a good idea.

Why don't we sit down and discuss rayn's play so far? Is anyone else suspicious of his lack of contribution?

Because you feel he tried too hard to say something funny, and is therefore making a noticeable effort to try and blend in, or because you consider any anti chocolate agenda heresy?

not a bad idea

I guess you mean the difference between the earlier and latter part of this post and their style?

me no play long time / : I'm all pent up, but aside from that, it wasn't ballsy at all. You set the value of the vote. That value is equivalent to that of a hat. Atm voting for someone is the equivalent of storing your hat on a rack. Basically for the first day we all have awesome racks but shitty hats. As the game goes on, our racks will deteriorate, the wood changing from fine oak to base mahogany, but our hats shall grow in splendor. Soon they will be both outlandish and dignified. Not just one flavor, but two in conjunction. Chocolate and Vannila in perfect harmony.

Vivax would you consider yourself a prickly dude?
