I'll take the information given by that choice over information given by a leader choosing based on his "reads". Seems pretty simple to me.
Do you want information from the choice of one person, or do you want information given from the choices of three people (four, kind of, since you still get information from who the leader chooses)?

This is fucking stupid. You are aware of this right? Everyone can and should pick themselves. Town know 100% that they are town and scum know that town 100% know themselves to be town so choosing anyone but themselves is butt fuck backwards. This explanation is well past pants on head.
Marv: while Hapa is a cute little hedgehog he is usually a responsive one. Not getting a scum read from his behavior but I am uncomfortable with him not explaining himself and getting defensive instead.

Marv expressed what I was leading up to pretty well. The bastard.

You already said that town will pick themselves, scum also have to pick themselves cause of what you just said...
I really dont see the point

So you want to be as unaccountable as possible. I want you to explain what USEFUL information you think we can gain from this plan? It gives us more sources of information, but less information about more things. Seems to confuse matters. How do you plan to put this "extra" information to good use?

of course Marv sniped me, the bastard

What's there to explain? If you insist on one, I changed my mind when I finally figured out how the setup worked and realized I was just spouting nonsensical assumptions about the party system.

First of all, marv is really aware of this part of his game and already compensated for it (i.e. "town read" on iamperfection in GSL III). Second of all, don't trust a hypothetical scum marv to include town people on the team. Hell for all we know electing a scum member as the party leader could be an auto-mission fail.
We need to vote someone as party leader who we are sure is town. Not rationalize picking a vet because he makes accurate "town reads" as either alignment. That's fucking stupid.

All this does is show us that you have no confidence in your reads... Also passing the blame if town fails the mission you are leading by saying you didnt pick the party members.. Suspicious behavior
You have confident reads this early? I'm taking the decision given to one person and spreading it to four. Leader can say who he's picking and give his reasons why (if he wants to), and then the three chosen can choose who they want on the team and give their reasons why (if they want to)
That gives us four times the information. How is this bad? Because you have to put more effort into the game and keep track of what people are doing?

Out of context. I am talking about the end of the day, not now.
If I am proposing myself as party leader, I would have confident reads in the 3 other people I want to choose. OTHERWISE, I will not want to be the party leader.
I am not going to repeat why the information part is bad because it has been already explained

I don't want to be as unaccountable as possible. If you think it's a better idea then why not have it go leader chooses three > three choose 3 others, can't choose themselves. Leader will want to choose people who he has certain reads on, since he will want the event to succeed, and those three will want to choose someone they have a certain read on. We get information from all the choices, and avoid the problem where everyone will just choose themselves.

Let me explain it easier why this is stupid:
Let's say player X chooses player Y and so on and the mission fails. What does that tell us about the alignments of the people who picked? Nothing. So it doesn't give us any extra info, because you are relying on 3 dif day 1 reads of 3 dif players, with no way of knowing who made a wrong read or who is scum anyway/

Oats: you fluff post was useless. You knew it, I knew it, everyone knew it. Don't fluff. There is no need. I'm glad to see that you are adding thoughts to the thread now though. Keep that up.
So, Chronicler, you do remember that you are on a Smurf and don't need to be intentionally thick to avoid the NK, right? Because I assume you are a good enough player to need a smurf so you are a good enough player to know that the things you are saying are dumb and won't work.
Hapa: Nothing to explain now. Sorry, didn't word that as well as I meant to. I expected an explanation from you when you were questioned
|
You are really not making sense Chronicler..
leader chooses three > three choose 3 others, can't choose themselves
Leader will want to choose people who he has certain reads on, since he will want the event to succeed, and those three will want to choose someone they have a certain read on.
So the leader has to crapshoot 3 people that he thinks will pick town players?
This just makes it harder to complete the task successfully. Also, as Prome already pointed out, 1 mafia may cause the party to fail and since 3 people are picking 3 other people, it is more likely that they will pick a scum...

Quantity of information does not equal quality of information.
Moving on... I agree with hapa that the person we vote for has to be clear town, but not newbie town as they need to be strong analytically.
