Shitposting here doesn't prevent me from shitposting there.

Besides posts in that thread don't add up to my post count. Shame.

Oh, snap, I remember you from the hockey thread.

How close do you follow the NHL from Deutschland? What's your favorite team?

I usually only watched my local home teams in the German 2nd/3rd div.
Then beginning of the year I was forced (by a Canadian from from the TL dominions group) to watch Habs games. You know, exactly that stretch of games where the Habs would only win if the game accidentally forgot to field enough players and never noticed during the entire game.
By now I watch basically 90% of all Habs games. Other games I watch by chance, whenever the Habs aren't playing and I'm bored. Well... plus reading NHL.com and whatever SN reports before and during Habs games :D

I'm going to sound dumb here, but wouldn't Setups 3 and 4 be town-sided? Town have 2 TPRs and the mafia have no PR roles to counter them.

Setup 2 also has too many Protective roles given the BP who cannot die/ be roleblocked, the Jailkeeper who can heal someone/ roleblock the mafia and the only role mafia has to counter them is the Roleblocker who can't roleblock the BP.

I haven't played in those setups before so if someone has evidence that said setups are balanced then I'll retract my concerns. This is just what stood out to me when reading the OP.


EDIT: Just realised that this is the Matrix6 setup from MS. My bad

I fail to see how that means that it has to be balanced?!

I think we should be okay. If you analyze one configuration or other by itself it may look unbalanced, but the thing with RNG semi-open setups like this is that they are balanced in part by the uncertainty over which particular sub-setup is actually in play, so looking at any one in isolation may not be the best way to judge them.

MS has some stats for their games and you might be surprised to discover that these perceived-town-favored configs actually have the most scum-favored results from among the 6 possibilities. MS have recorded an overall ~46% town wins in aggregate across all 6 sub-setups, though granted, site meta may differ.

A quick TL search yields these games:
- Newbie 58 (rb + 1bp + jk) scum win -- even with one extra vt (10 players)
- Newbie 59 (1bp + tracker) scum win
(those modkills tho.)

I think it's fine to give this a shot.

Not only was I asked nicely to signup but I was also in the first Touhou Mafia as well so... fitting I suppose.

Sure. c: One more /in.

This is what is going to happen this game:

1. I will roll town.
2. Game starts; unoriginal players'll say "First confirmed town!"
3. One town will have a weird or even scummy entry.
4. Calix will tunnel said player. NeverUnlucky will have a good read on Calix based on the tunnel.
5. Said town will claim that the intent behind his entry was to stir up conversation.
6. Everyone will mock him and some will town-read him.
7. Active players’ll shitpost, lurkers’ll lurk.
8. One player will case another player who’ll become the main wagon, but the case is weak, thus :
9. People will initiate a CFD at EoD, and a town will die.

Jokes on you. You won't see a single tunnel from me this round.
