I mean if the player who claims miller is in that group, then go hard

Otherwise your policy is pretty much meaningless

#4666

This is all assuming you’d do the same as town here though

#4667

I probably would barring meta for the reasons of A misclearing is worse than mislynching and B it discourages future scum from the strat

#4668

That’s more of an argument to avoid clearing someone on a miller claim though isn’t it?

You discourage scum, assuming you get enough coverage of this technique with the players you’re likely to play with. You also discourage town from claiming miller immediately to avoid you mislynching them, when the purpose of that is usually so they commit early instead of only claiming after they’re red checked.

In the end, you get town who either get mislynched for claiming or they get mislynched on investigation, which is worse than having them claim miller outright and sorting them without mechanical help.

@bepwei gj modding. Glad you picked up on how to do the votecounts from my silent edits. :stuck_out_tongue:

I only skimmed postgame but my general “foolproof but time consuming” advice on improving at (and only at) reading people is to choose a particular player (someone with a large corpus of completed games and ideally has a reputation for being easier to read). Get like 20 or 30 completed games they played and read them, take a guess for some behaviors/phrases/etc. that you think are alignment indicative. Actually go through and match instances for that guess with the player’s alignment (to check how indicative or not it is). Eventually do this for multiple specific players and then trying grouping players into archetypes to guess tells for unsorted players etc.etc.

Now in practice if you do this for 1 or 2 players you play semi-regularly this and can clear them as town or get them as mafia with decently above rand you’re already a super contributor once you have the track record. Nice bonus is it more or less makes actually playing irrelevant for improving.

I disagree there’s any reason that determining a redchecked miller claim is actually town is any harder than determining a D1 miller claim is actually town

#4673

tbh I’d argue the time before they were checked actually makes that way easier

Especially because a Miller will NOT want to be checked and so should double down on being extra good

#4674

If you knew me, you would realize that I don’t like meta reading.

#4675

That’s not the point

You aren’t comparing them game to game

You’re looking at specific actions they do from alignment to alignment, and then using that to extrapolate to other players

It’s a solid idea, even from the standpoint of people like you and I who don’t like relying on meta.

#4676

it’s key :wink:

Good job town (and most notably from my skimming, firekitten) and good job andres. obv I had some run ins with andres very early in the thread, and while I do think his day 1 interaction with me was really bad and not towny, I do give him props for meeting his win condition that only got tougher when jake was modkilled.

I was so confused why you kept editing my posts and making your vote counts. Then after you told me how to reset the VC I realized what you had done to my posts that whole time. :rofl:
