This.

Maybe it would be less town-favored if it were an even/odds thing? For example:

Odds (1 or 3 medics) target is saved,
Evens (2 or 4 medics) target dies.

That should be less easy for town to break I think.

Well, you know, it's kinda objectively town-favored if both sides play intelligently, to my thinking.

As long as you have at least two town medics you can effectively have a night lynch with nothing mafia can do about it unless they succesfully blue hunt and rb.

If people don't play intelligently yes it's swingy. And of course mafia can still win by looking townier than a lot of town players.

I just feel like the baseline is in town's favor. Thus the odds and evens suggestion that I feel would be harder for town medics to play around. But I'm still fine with trying it out as is

A second rb probably is not a good idea.

Idk why? You'd still have to guess 2 blues and hit with both rbs to prevent the vigi shot.

I think the odd - even suggestion you made makes the game random fest.

I suppose it prevents claiming to some extent to have two roleblockers, but that is really the extent of its usefulness imo.

And yes, my suggestion randomizes it. You're correct. But it also means one thing that you're missing: the vig shot can't be coordinated in thread.

If multiple medics = death you can openly coordinate in thread and expect the town medics to use their 'saves' as a lynch.

If odd medics = save, then three medics on one person is not a vig shot, and mafia can decide whether or not to make it one. This is similar with two medics on one person...mafia can choose to save or kill an openly coordinated medic target.

My suggestion is meant to prevent town from organizing night lynches, or at least make it harder. No more, no less.

Otherwise medics can vig whoever they want without claiming.

The problem with the odd-even suggestion imo is that the best play is to just not use medics at all (since youre more likely to get fucked by mafia medic in case you try to coordinate something -- or town medic(s) if you don't coordinate) until mafia medic is dead, and imo it kinda defeats the idea of the game.

I don't really understand how having a (coordinated) "unlimited shot vigi" is imba, because it really isn't. It is just a night lynch which you can decide to use or not to use. If you lynch mafia people you win, if not, you lose, just like in normal lynches. Like if you have a vigilante in the game does it make the vigi role imba that townies can say who they want the vigilante to kill? It doesn't.


-shrugs- I doubt we'll agree, Joni.

I've lost interest in this argument entirely, sorry. We'll just have to see how it goes.

I see no issue with a 1-shot strongman. Two roleblockers seems like overkill to me, personally, given that should be mafia's strongest role in this setup.

Wait, I got a strongman confused with a soup kill. Disregard that.

A one-shot soup kill would be good to counter claims.

You can't just make up roles.


Lol, why not? Besides, soup kills aren't new

Really, though, it's fine if we just try it as is. I may be overthinking it anyway

I thought Damdred was pretty town so far what makes you think he's scum?

My impression of his game so far can be boiled down to two sentences:

Hey guys how should we play the setup that doesn't matter for another 48 hours!

Hey guys do you have any thoughts?

The first is fine if he were trying to get reads, but given the lack of reads he apparently got from it hes coming across to me as existing rather than solving.

What don't you like? I like the idea of having a second medic vote, so that's the singular reason I gave him town points.

I'm terrible at reading tone, lol so am I right in saying you have a tone read on him?

Less tone and more not contributing anything.

And no I don't count suggesting the optimal strategy both hf and I pointed out pre-game as a contribution. <- Also thought someone else made that anyway but yeah. It doesn't substantially change my read. Hf and I were going to push that strat anyway so weaksauce.

Do you think he's right? Should we not talk about mass claiming D2? Is there a difference of talking about mass claiming and the timing of it? Does anyone actually think the medics shouldn't EVER mass claim? So, obviously if you are going to discuss strategy you will be talking about the timing. I didn't like him saying "talking about D2 claim is a distraction" and then he goes back to talking about mass claiming. It's scummy to try to shut down discussion especially when nothing else is going on.

Talking about D2 mass claim is a distraction, when we're not in D2. Again, we'll have more information on whether a D2 mass claim would be beneficial once we're actually IN D2. If we tried to make a decision about it now, something could happen before then that changes the equation.

Talking about whether to mass claim on D2 during D1 prevents scumhunting by letting the thread be clogged up with a decision that can't be acted on yet, based on variables that could be completely different by the time it CAN be acted on. It also needlessly lengthens the thread, making it tougher to re-read later.

And then I went back to talking about mass claiming. YUP. Because the decision to make on Day ONE is whether or not we should have a mass claim on Day ONE. THIS is what we should be talking about. But first, I'd sure like verification from the Narrator on whether the setup is the one posted in the OP, or the one he said he'd be changing it to, because that also changes the equation.

I'd say no, thus, bored.

Let's talk reads!

You're not wrong. I guess I'm giving Damdy slack since I think the only person who's done anything was n00bking. I don't count HF due to NAIness of what he did.

I'd actually put HF as slightly towny. It's mostly nai particularly given the earlier discussion but there's a dismissiveness and directness to the claim that I like. A scum HF might be more tempted to sit on the strat to see if town derps before committing.
