nah -- i hate that shi too -- it gets annoying to talk about petty stuff and stuff that wont progress the game. thats what it feels like coming from uIn post 246, Merlyn wrote:
LOL Well I definitely wasn't trying to do any noodle flopping. I don't enjoy interacting with folks on this site who will argue with you endlessly and escalate till you're in a battle for pages with them and I could see that's how it was going to go with GS. I'm not someone who will be having a 5-page fight in these games regardless of alignment. It's not fun for me and I play here for fun.In post 243, JasonWazza wrote: @Merlyn, your vote was never this super sticky with regards to RVS votes, is there a reason you aren't at least using it more for pressure like you normally do, and hell is there a reason for the general stickiness of your reads in that, it feels like at least in your past 2 games, you were actually using your vote with the questions like this, rather then letting them flop like a wet noodle with this sort of post.

i was gonna do it eventually
and the rotational targeting is just the default that everyone results to in a game of pr madness to eventually resolve prs during the night -- if u can think of something better pls tell me but planned night actions should always be the plan here

What I was thinking of was doing a partial massclaim, but I'm not sure if it's smart to do that or not.
Basically, we'd come up with a predetermined order (sussy bakas first) and claim either group 1 (Vig/Blank Vig) or group 2 (Bomb/SS). I did some caveman math and found that there's about a 66% chance we get meaningful information on which group scum are in, though it might be a little lower if we considered that scum can strategize or if I messed up the math.
I don't think it's too detrimental as scum still have to debate if it's worth it to kill in group 1 or safe to kill in group 2.
Any downsides I'm missing? Someone tell me if this is a terrible idea.I townread Alianna.

Actually, I went and calculated the probability of each individual setup occurring and wrote it all down. Idk why I did that, there was no real reason to. I guess punching numbers into a calculator was more fun than whatever I was procrastinating at the time lol.In post 292, Doctor Drew wrote:

Group 1 = Vig/Blank VigIn post 295, Doctor Drew wrote:

Not saying there isn't a benefit, I think I just need it to be explained to me like I am 5.
Group 2 = Bomb/SS
In this setup, we've got a 25% chance that there's 3 in group 1 and 4 in group 2, a 50% chance that there's 4 in group 1 and 3 in group 2, and a 25% chance that there's 5 in group 1 and 2 in group 2. And of course, there's always 2 mafia goons, so there's 2 extra claims regardless of what setup we're actually in.
The placement of the extra claims might end up being important. Depending on the numbers, we can gain information on what the scum might have claimed. There is a chance we gain nothing of use, a chance we can confirm one of the groups contains at least one scum, and a smaller chance we can confirm one of the groups contains both scum. I'm not going to go through possible setups/outcomes/strategies unless I need to, scum can do the work themselves.
I'm not dead-set on doing this, it's just an idea.I townread Alianna.
