I don't think Art would tell his partners to vote Goss if it didn't certainly lead to a lynch

/m169 Yes, just do that. Maybe vote for Goss first claiming you thought I was town and don't know what's going on then end up changing it in the end.

I actually feel pretty good about my play considering my work schedule. A few things to note about this game:

Town:
1. You need to be active and productive. Most of D1 for over half the townies was literally the most unproductive shit ever. No player ever should be able to do very basic analysis and be instantly town read for it; especially when said analysis comes late in the day.
2. Posting/High Post Count =/= being active. The goal for town is to not give Scum room to hide. Artanis got to hide because he was doing very minimal things. Race was just posting random shit and no one was bothering to check him. DYH was just high activity.
3. Openings are important. In my experience, ~75% of scum are "caught" in the first 10 posts. Race and Artanis could easily have been lynched for their openings (for very different reasons); Race's townreads were really, really bad. Artanis was posting but basically worthless; he should've been the D2 lynch. A player who is as skilled as he is who isn't really trying to work with anyone else to get productive posts/lynches is scum.
4. Finding town is just (if not more) important than finding scum. Everyone had me as town on D1. The D1 lynch was culminating in a fuckfest of votes on random players. If you can't find a "good lynch" or a high scum flip, just vote with the player who's you're strongest townread. It's far more likely that whoever that person wants to lynch is scum than a random decision.
5. Town leaders who aren't leading and providing direction should be lynched. From what I saw, all the discussion basically focused around Artanis; by this I mean who he talked about, focused on, etc. But he literally spent zero time actively trying to push an effective agenda.
6. In a 3v2 LYLO when votes are 4:1 especially early on and everybody is staying on, you're lynching town. The last lynch was really bad.

Scum:
This game was basically a cake walk. After killing me it was just basically riding the D1 vote. Plus, Artanis basically filled the town leader role for you. However, you need to watch your early reads on people. Early townreads aren't necessarily a bad play, but you need those reads to be effective and defendable. Part of the reason why you should townread people is to help support allies (like Artanis and DYH), to buddy/pocket town players (to throw them off), or to help push a scumread on a townie.

Everyone:
1. You should ALWAYS have a reason for why you're posting what you're posting. If you're town, you should be trying to move the game forward. If you're scum, you should be holding the game back (somehow). Before you hit the button to post, ask your self "Is this post helping me meet my win condition?" If the answer is no, then change what you're writing or delete it.
2. Figure out your role in the game. By this I mean, do you need to be a follower or a leader. A team with all chieftans and no Indians will lose because there's no direction as the team is being drawn in too many directions. A team with all Indians and no chieftans will lose because there's never a direction anywhere. FYI, just because you're VT doesn't mean you're an indian. Just because your a role doesn't mean you're a chieftan.

Just a few tidbits on mylo.

Final phase, Race Bannon and DYH both had some VERY shady posts (esp DYH) and Kura was refuting them well unfortunately the rest of the town lacked presence.

DYH was playing to his scum meta of using WIFOM points to advance his agenda (i.e. Artanis and RB wouldn't be associated....how would you know either way and how does this explain why Kura is scum? Why is Kura scum? Well....) But otherwise he was harder to catch, mafia had it easy to move in this poor collective activity.

RB's biggest problem - and if anyone held him accountable for this I completely missed it - was his votes Day 1 and Day 2 as well as his poor basis for his townreads. His pushing on Kura was painting him scummy for completely NAI reasons - a more alert town would have kept him accountable. I pretty much had RB scumread nearly the entire game between the voting, his reads and his mylo behaviour. Would have 1000% vig shot him.

GGs scummers and cheers on the hosts.

RB seems town for tone. Hard for newbies to fake that level of paranoia/distrust.
