I think your plan overnight is extremely sensible. But here? I don’t agree.
You can’t disagree with this unless you’re saying the mafia is purposely bad. can you relink or resummarize your explanation instead of leaving me with a black abyss for a reason?
No. Mafia is not purposefully bad by eliminating players that are thinking critically, are being Town Read for the most part, and have a good sense of who the Scum might be. That’s not bad play. Mechanical considerations don’t outweigh all of that. Why NK Nanook then? When he was the Vig and had used it?
K you’re right, I missed that their single doctor would block their own kill x.x ugh.
I mean like why would scum buy 1 doctor only though then? it keeps one out of the hands of town I guess but…
Probs wanted to bid big on players seeing as they didn’t get vig either.
You do it because it gives you the option to block the Doc. If Town has both Docs, it makes it that much harder to NK people. It makes perfect sense.
and just got faith healer for free
The budget for roles and players was separate. We’ve been over this.
I mean the chance of blocking their doc with your doc is kinda unrealistically small, now that I know the mafia would block their own kill if they only had their doc on the kill. The real utility is keeping a doc out of town’s hands (to make night kills easier yes).
Also I want to be clear. None of what I’m saying clears GTacc or the other Doctor. But I have a strong feeling that overbidding on both Doctors by Scum didn’t happen, so Wisp (who I TR anyway) is not going to flip Scum (assuming your deduction that he’s the Doctor is correct). So then what does that say about GTacc? I still don’t know, but don’t think that’s Scum either.
Elli knows Srceen typically lasts long into games. Giving it to him was fairly sensible, in that over time, blocking the Town Doc becomes more likely. The other consideration is the more important one obviously. But still.
@M2H what were the mechanics of the player auction?
I know in earlier drafts of your game / in our DMs you said you’d have the captains nominate 8 players that COULD be bid on and the other 7 would automatically go to town. Was this how it actually was? I do know I expressed concern with this method and wanted player caps for scum and then the rules got changed a lot since then. But yeah just looking for a bit of clarification.
@Andresvmb I really don’t think hannah’s the best bet now. She said she’ll neighborize me, and I will have a whole night/day cycle to see how she acts in the neighborhood if she isn’t lynched tonight. She very well might be scum, but there’s nothing definitively scummy about her and I still really don’t see a legit reason why Elli would pick her since she mostly plays eimm and oc stuff. It would literally be a pick just because we wouldn’t expect it. But blah, when we’re this close to a mislynch and lose, I really don’t have anywhere enough confidence to think hannah is scum. Maybe I’m wrong and you’ll have a lynch you can throw in my face after I was right about DS… But I just don’t see enough from hannah to move her from my null category to my scum reads.
She is the best bet, because she’s highly likely to be Scum. If you haven’t been able to figure it out yet, and think that her talking to you in the neighborhood is going to do it, then we’ve already lost.
And how is there nothing definitively Scummy about her? Do you want her to hardclaim Scum? Nuxl and AD are basically null spots with very limited content and participation that we are collectively Scum Reading because of it. Hannahh has been openly Scummy, particularly if you think I’m Town (like every other Town player that has been NK’ed).
What odds would you place on having a random null spot flip Scum? The odds that Hannahh flips Scum are much higher, I guarantee it.
Or maybe you think I’m Scum. In which case, lynch me! But going for the null spots and thinking that’s more likely to lead to a win is ridiculous in my mind.
Your 1839 is basically ONLY saying that she didn’t vote screen and must be scum. I also didn’t vote screen. : / Your other posts listed above literally are a rehash of the same reason repackaged, too x.x
