I guess if Drew's town and you're town that would increase the chances of grouping scum.

But if one of you isn't town then that wincon is forfeited.

Are you that confident that Drew and I are town? Willing to take that leap?


I don't know that I am.

When I posed the question, not really.

But I do like both of your replies to it, so the idea isn't off the table and I will pushback any hasty votes on
Dungeon

Could you explain this a little further? I'm not quite getting what you mean here.
Town wins if all three scum are grouped into the same box. With someone (Drew) declaring a box, that leaves two spots in that box of course.

If Drew is Town, scum just needs one scum to declare the same box as Drew and there's no way we can group the scum together and hit the grand slam.

If Drew is scum, scum just needs to avoid placing another one of themselves into that box.

Either way scum has the advantage as far as the grand slam wincon goes. (grouping the 3 mafs in the same box)
My initial interpretation of this was that you were just saying the former (the Town|Drew scenario), without considering the latter possibility (scum|Drew).

Maybe the real Mafia was the friends we made along the way

If all 3 Insurrectionists are in the same location by the end of the day, the Devotees will win.
So, I just saw this and it really doesn’t matter where the three scum are as long as it’s in the same place, so does it really matter which place we choose so long as it’s coordinated?

If we can find those players and assign them to the same place we win. Taly, not disputing what you said but can you explain to me why Mega’s posts are town? Because I don’t understand what she said.

Okay but that works if Drew is scum but what if he isn’t? Fact is he’s already locked in and because of that I think we need to be flexible.

We need to first I think try to solve Drew and decided after that. It’s possible Drew did what he did as town or could be scum replicating that, we don’t know but if we decide he’s more likely town than wouldn’t that need to change?

Oh never mind, it still might because you have palace first. I thought you were basing this off of Drew being scum. If it’s not, then probably forget what I just said.

We don’t know where they are. I wish we could win by grouping three townies, I think that would probably be easier.

I just agree with his perspective on approaching this game more than I did anyone else.

prioritized gamesolving, which is inevitably what
does
prevent scum grouping, rather than assigning variables to specific locations that give informed scum a blueprint to coordinating their interactions.

and acknowledged the Day 2 scenario, I wrote this pre-emptively in my TL;DR.

TL;DR, it's good to try and group the scumteam, but who catches the scumteam D1 - or it is the consensus among town? It's unrealistic to focus on that ahead of this being a typical mafia game where townies can pick the players
they feel confident in solving
.

I feel like this argument can also come from scum, but considering I nodded a lot in a short period of time, it feels likelier town.

I'll add more context here
In post 131, Bellaphant wrote: I'm not feeling the herta town vibes really
Herta
is the person I am most familiar with on this list, both in playing as the same alignment and different alignment - alongside hydra'ing.

So even if I don't have a concrete read on them, my bias skews toward being able to determine their alignment.

Is there something else I should consider?

No, another, more town sided (maybe) strategy is to pair people who actually think they can read each other. Like, rats has played with me a fair bunch recently, for example

Okay fair, I’m not completely sure how to play this setup and I really wasn’t clear on what stances were protown or not, other than of course consensus is the most optimal.

I think maybe if we try to townblock we can figure out the three scummiest slots who we’re least confident on but of course that’s bearing on their being no deep wolves and I’m not yet extremely confident on anyone but so far not being pinged by RR, you, Meg. I’m tempted to like Elements’ townreading me though.

Also liking Bella. So if all of Rat, Taly, Meg, Bella and I are town, that leaves Elements, Herta, Drew. So unless I’m wrong somewhere. Hmmm . . . that would be right if I’m right but also seems to easy and I’m kind of wary of easy, so I don’t think we should rush into any unalterable decisions yet. But Elements’ townreading me also gave me good vibes.

I said earlier that I'd like Palace. I feel pretty comfortable on Meg being Town so far, so fine with them joining. You (Taly) would be my other main townread so far, but you've expressed a desire for Dungeon with Herta, which works for me assuming Drew is Town. Then Bella's right we have played a lot recently, though I don't think I've ever seen her scumgame.

I would prefer NOT to be paired with Nona, Drew, or Farren. Mainly just since I haven't played with them before,so not confident on readability.

I guess final preference then would be Palace with Meg and Bella?
