I don't think explaining my reads on them important at the moment, unless you want to call either of them or me mafia.


To be frank, I don't think either of them have any big scummy things at the moment. It's just that the process of elimination is leading me to them so I'd like to know why you think they're clearly town.

I have a question. Xatalos do you seriously think Blazinghand - as town - believes that lynching by RNG on D1 has the best chances of hitting mafia? Like do you SERIOUSLY believe that?

All I can say that he's genuinely pushed that thing in all of his recent town games... And said that he likes the idea in those games... It's not like I think it's the way to go myself, except for the fun factor I guess, but he really seems to like that as town. At least as a discussion starter / fall-back option What's more, it would really be terrible to do as scum. Think about it... If the RNG hit your teammate, you'd be in an extremely bad position. You'd have to pressure your teammate all D1, quite likely making him falter in some way, in the worst case revealing both of you at the same time.

Here's a better question imo: do you really think that BH would have a problem arguing the benefits of RNG lynch as mafia?

He wouldn't have any problem doing that at all, given that he's done the exact same thing many times before and RNG lynch is by definition completely independent of BH's alignment.

Well, read my last post.... Also, like I said, even if it might sound good in theory, he hasn't done that so far in his scumgames and it wouldn't probably be as easy in practise ESPECIALLY if the RNG hit his teammate.

Well, you did react a bit when you entered the thread. I think someone less experienced could well fall into panic as scum. In my first Mafia game there was a random vote pile on my teammate and he basically revealed himself by reacting weirdly.

it's actually equally as likely, so i disagree with your premise entirely.

it's actually really simple. i mean i guess it's pretty simple for me cuz i read like 10 of BH's games in the recent past so i could accurately impersonate him. here's your guide to reading BH:

Did he RNG immediately @ the start of the game: if yes -> 80% chance to be town; if no -> 80% chance to be mafia

Did he push the RNG target or just leave it there like a dead fish: if push -> 95% chance to be town; if dead fish - 50% chance to be mafia

Did he gather reads from people arguing with him about why they are better than RNG: yes - DING DING DING town; i don't know he hasn't given reads - 75% town; no - 50% town

I mean, the votes were given to him before he had even made a single post.

okay who would you say in this game would feel pressured, as in who are these "new scum players" you would refer to here?

It's actually not.
Mafia players are lynched 26.0% of the time on day one.
Random lynching would result in a mafia lynch 25.2% of the time.
Mafia players are lynched only 16.4% of the time in newbie games on day one, so excluding these games brings the overall day one lynch percentage up to 28.1%!

I believe this is not a newbie game so you are just straight out lying.

gumshoe at least? What I've seen of his scumplay, it's extremely lacking. Not too sure about how good each player's scumgame is in this game. Well, it's a good point that if the scumteam was something like BH/rayn/marv, then it wouldn't be very risky at all. Still, even an experienced player might make some sort of weird reaction if he's never before been in a similar situation.

Not quite sure what the bolded means?


generally speaking he doesn't rng as mafia, but i wouldn't put it past him to break meta.


So you said he doesn't rng as mafia.
Now you said if BH rng's he is 80% town.

Does he or does he not rng as mafia?
Because if he doesn't, why is he not 100% town?
If he does, why is your read on him shit?

2.9% is within the margin of error to where it is negligible. also those statistics include the RNG user including themself in the RNG rather than excluding.

And in any case, going for that RNG plan limits your options and brings attention to yourself in the early game. Not really things scum would like, and looking at BH's scumgames, not even he seems to like that.

he types walls of text that glaze my eyes over. i thought he was mafia feels at the start, then he gave a respectable read progression on me and climbed up to null. i have 0 strong opinions on him now.
