I disagree with the mass-claim idea. I think we should scumhunt normally during Day 1 and come up with plans to optimize role usage later on. The setup speculation is boring and I don't have any reads yet. I'll check with Nacho and re-read to see where he is at regarding the claims and our reads. I don't feel confident about any reads yet.

Massclaim idea seems damaging at worst, useless at best. Scum already know the setup, so it's not like any scum will be outed claims wise. Massclaiming means that scum know which players are which hiders and thus it becomes easier to figure out when to commute and who to kill (especially since every claimed VT is a free kill when they need it, which might come into play if we ever get into MyLo). I haven't figured out a way to break up the setup yet and I don't think there are any decent strategies thanks to the chain rule (unless we have three or so scummy players create a chain, but that's not exactly a #swag strategy because scum doesn't have to claim hider). Why would we massclaim?In post 26, Varsoon wrote:So are we going to stick with a massclaim or not?
It'd be supes awkward if only like three people claimed.

Mostly, players should attempt to make themselves bulletproof, not find scum. The title of the game is cowardly hiders, not hero hiders.
No, it doesn't.In post 94, bubbajack8 wrote:Quick lynching requires others.-

I criticized your read on me (not really your fault considering I hadn't posted much), and I criticized that you didn't have a scumread as stronger scum (not a big deal), and I criticized a couple null reads. No adjustments were dramatic.In post 106, GuyInFreezer wrote:

I think GiF's list is actually pretty good, aside from some glaring faults in his read on us. I would move up notscience and move down Able and BRO (two slots), though, but I'm crazy and also better at the game than he is.
>criticize half of my reads
I'm sorry, were you actually trying to call this a scumtell? Because if so, that's fucking laughable.In post 108, BROseidon wrote:

You're a strong enough player that you should be able to grasp theory points like setup breaking fairly easily, and the fact that you're discouraging it is indicative of you not putting forth your 100% town game. Which implies you're scum.
And discrediting is fun. You should try it.

Why is notsci up? Why is BRO Waaaay down? As Xy asked, why Able down?
bro is down because bro is laughably scum
able is down because everyone with the exception of bro is town-

Reasons I'm scumreading BRO:In post 144, bubbajack8 wrote:What SPECIFICALLY about his meta then -_-
1) I don't like shooting down an early townread on Varsoon. I don't think it served any purpose for BRO as town and it seemed strange to criticize GiF reads before offering his own.
2) I can't believe I'm saying this, but OMGUS when GiF attacked him. It was pretty clear why the vote was happening when it was, so BRO calling the vote on him scum-motivated (as if GiF thought he could quell optimal strategy by voting BRO) was concerning as fuck.
His theory talk is the best thing that's come out of the slot so far and it's not really that great.
The scumreading BRO because meta comment was sarcastic as hell and I'm ashamed none of you caught onto that.
What basic theory have I fucked up?In post 152, BROseidon wrote:

Or you hide behind townreads that aren't likely to be killed (or who are bad kills) and make yourself bulletproof in the process...?In post 174, Varsoon wrote:If you hide and hit scum, you die (unless scum commutes).
You can't claim that you hid behind someone and that it therefore clears them because scum can lie about this AND scum can commute.
So, really, why would anyone hide behind anyone ever?
It's a thousand times easier if we all just never hide and try to pin scum through lynches.
I say we forget the mechanics entirely. Too scum-based. Too easily for scum to kill multiple town one night. Results mean nothing too.
We minimize town deaths by never hiding.
Easymode engaged.
I mean yeah generally results mean nothing but that doesn't mean the bulletproof aspect of things means nothing.-

These aren't pure percentages. I wouldn't hide if scum were shooting randomly, but scum most certainly are not shooting randomly. You get a good chance of bulletproof by being a priority target for death and by choosing a target that scum doesn't want to kill.In post 194, Varsoon wrote:If we play this vanilla, then you only have a 1/7 or a 1/6 chance of dying N1, depending on if scum or town is lynched.
If you hide behind someone, then you pick up a 1/7 or a 1/6 chance of bulletproof, but then you ALSO pick up a 2/9 or 1/9 chance of dying because of hiding behind scum on top of a 1/7 or 1/6 chance of dying because the person you hid behind was shot.
The bulletproofiness doesn't outweight the chance of death.-

We never articulated any part of our push against you until after Varsoon asked that question.In post 207, BROseidon wrote:
Their push of me-scum for doing things like assuming that F-16 would have basic theory knowledge and for shooting down GiF's terrible plan.In post 155, Varsoon wrote:Articulate what you mean by bullshit.
F-16 also said "setup discussion is boring". He didn't say shit about actual theory, so calling his actual theory bullshit when none was presented is dumb.
We never said you were scum for shooting down GiF's plan (in fact, notice how we also disagree with it).
Were you this bad at reading when you wrecked the hell out of me in Xenoblades? Or are you just having an off game?
Which is good and well if you went "that townread on Varsoon is bullshit, you're scum".In post 212, BROseidon wrote:...Except early unsubstantiated town reads indicate a scum-interest of trying to avoid conflict and appear natural.
But you didn't.
Do you share BRO's opinion that good players tend to become actual shit at theory when they're scum? Because otherwise, this isn't a good reason to townread him.In post 222, penguin_alien wrote:I'm inclined to think BRO is towny for trying to avoid people haring off and revealing things via bad crumbing.-

I don't think he's scum because of the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of his plan. I don't think the effectiveness or the ineffectiveness of his plan is related to his alignment. Why do you disagree?In post 231, penguin_alien wrote:I interpreted BRO's posts as trying to find a way for PRs to leave indicators of their night actions without broadcasting everything to scum. I'm not seeing the scum motivation there.
Not quite. I do think that him attacking F-16's disinterest in breaking the game after I showed up and starting pushing him is scummy, though.In post 231, penguin_alien wrote:Are you saying his plan is flawed or that him attacking your hydra's disinterest in breaking the game is scummy?-

I can't remember a time when ns was like "I can't read Nacho so I won't even try ;.;". He usually makes an attempt to sort me out as his #1 priority, but here he doesn't give a gut lean, anything.In post 202, notscience wrote:I kinda liked nacho's bravado but I'm not really confident in my ability to read him so yeah.
Ditto with GiF read: I don't think GiF posting a lot and being ridiculously pro-town makes him harder to read than when he lurks, so that's another bit of bullshit.In post 202, notscience wrote:I don't know spamposty GIF so I have 0 idea what to do with him
Swapped his read on BRO immediately despite not knowing my alignment; the "kinda see BROscum" phraseage doesn't seem like one typical of townNS, and waiting for the votecount to make sure he doesn't immediately hammer is just ???In post 202, notscience wrote:I can kinda see bro-scum but I want to check the votes on him so I don't derphammer-

You're correct. I don't have a very long case on you.In post 286, BROseidon wrote:It's sad that Nacho/F-16 don't have a real case on me and are using their presence to get me mislynched.
It's fucking pathetic.
I just have a very large scumread on you. Believe it or not, when you play with someone a lot of times you can occasionally form things like that.
All it takes is one person to call him out for bullshitting setup spec and he's sunk.In post 301, penguin_alien wrote:Aside from you and GiF, I'm not sure who he'd be afraid of, and GiF's a guess. And no, I'm not being disingenuous by leaving myself off that list, given how thoroughly BRO snookered me in NY 165 and would have in bork's Mini Touhou.
So again, why would he risk "leading town down the garden path" with false setup spec when he could instead fake setup spec for towncred? What do you think of BRO implying that he wouldn't attempt to "break" the game as scum?
And I think he might be doing so again!In post 301, penguin_alien wrote:Aside from you and GiF, I'm not sure who he'd be afraid of, and GiF's a guess.

What about the issue of the order of his engaging with you and F-16?
You still haven't really provided anything close to convincing on why BRO isn't scum this game.
I don't get your question.
So you're not even going to try?
