Are you going to do this the whole game?
If "this" means be annoyed by you not being able figuring things out yourself, then yes.

My possible scum-list based on draft contained in:

Pom
Porkens
Serial OR Manho (these 2 aren't scum together imo)
Superawesome
Ellibereth
Budja
Fate
Zang (did zang roll? remove if he rolled)

Lynch in this order ftw! Kgo!

Swap Fate for Parama and Zang for sorasgoof, and you have a pretty good list.

My theory eliminates them from my list.

Basically, these people don't double with people, and have low second numbers.

Knowing that low second numbers are almost always a good thing isn't generally realised I feel. And I think that scum, with 5 peoples pooled knowledge, would be more likely to realise this and put low numbers for second numbers.

As scum last game, our team recognised that putting 1 as your second number is optimal strategy because it's only used to differentiate in ties, so we conciously chose to scramble our second number to avoid this sort of speculation.

Know what the weirdest thing from the draft was? Single numbers on 10, 11, 12, 13 - there is no way scum put all their eggs in one basket and decided to go in sequence. I can see maybe one or two going high (gut feeling is Pom). But I also can't see town luckily picking those 4 numbers in a row without any scum there. The odds on that is quite low.

If there is scum in the 9 pool, there will only be one, but I think it's more probably there is none. This means that 5 scum must have put their X number on something 1-7 which seems unlikely, as I think the natural inclination is to spread out to a high number or two just in case. Out of the 10, 11, 12, 13 Pom is likeliest to be scum, and I probably won't be open to lynching anyone in the triple or quadruple pool, or maybe even the doubles.

Sando, if you recognise that high secondary numbers are enourmously advantageous (as I do, and have since PYP1), why did you pick such a low one?

Parama is actually quite easy to catch as scum.

Don't worry about him Hoopla.

Let's focus now on our good friend DGB.

Isn't she a well-known, active, etc. player to have posted in this thread? You know, to discuss stuff?

LOLMOARPREGAMESUSPICIONS.

Also I can see scum going with two high numbers.

Also the second number...well I'm a dumbass that didn't know how the draft worked so I picked a pretty number. I won't put too much emphasis on the "Y" analysis, "X" analysis took a whole heart-wrenching loss to convince me it had merit...
So I'll stick with that.

Is this how this game is supposed to work? Are we supposed to talk in the sign-up thread? plan strategy? pick numbers? Make scum lists? I mean, this isn't the game thread, is it?

The OP says "Scum and masons will have 24 hours to talk before the draft." Doesn't that mean that the rest of us should shut the hell up? Aren't we all, essentially, night talking?

That was based on one line that was completely irrelevant that did not end in my lynch!
Anyways my town meta and scum meta are basically the same, that is to say, meta sucks and is completely irrelevant so stop using it!

Porkens, you are absolutely right, which makes you completely wrong. No, this isn't the game thread, so posts here aren't considered game posts. Therefore it is impossible for us to be breaking any rules.

Ah, however it is discussing the game outside of the game thread, if you wanted to be pedantic about it :P.

At this point there IS no game thread so technically any rule involving the game thread cannot be broken yet.

I do not agree, at all. I think that statement is way out of the spirit of the game.

I officially hate everyone above me on the draft list until I find out who did this.
