According to the wiki its ELo/LiLo (Eliminate/Lim or lose)
Had to look up some of the new terms myself too lol.
Play too much chess that elo means something else to me. LiLo is quite the creative attempt at preserving the old pronunciation. Though in my brain i want to pronounce it differently from how i pronounced the old version.
i think i personally prefer xlo or ylo (yeet or lose), but will use elo if that’s what everyone else uses

Dread it, run from it, the altslip arrives eventually
I have only ever had one alt that I didn’t full-on slip with, and I revealed it after my second game on it

Anyone else familiarized themselves at all with previous runs of the setup? I'm mostly skimming them. The stats show 50-50 but I feel this should be more townsided than that stat shows. In 3 of the 4 mafia wins, a town PR was eliminated. Twice on D1, and once on D2 - never in ELO/MELO. Let's not have that happen this time.
I didn't really familiarize myself with the setup beyond win-rate and the basics of it. PR's getting voted off early though is a fairly common occurrence in my experience since people playing PR's tend to get angrier faster especially when they feel their getting voted by townies, which can lead to self-voting or simply being taken as being overly defensive.
I did briefly consider if hypoclaiming (everyone picks a town role off the clock and then claims a target/result at the beginning of D2, the actual town PR's could claim their real results and then if they die) would be useful here, and I think it might be unless the clock specifically landed on 5. Would require everyone to be on board with it, though.
VOTE: Puffalicious Back to E-2, 30 gave me some vibes.

The trick is to bookmark the threads you're in only on one account and only access that thread through bookmarks. That's how I do it.
Eh it's a bit of a shitshow really, upon further digging:
In one game House opens the game fakeclaiming Town Rolecop as VT which causes Save The Dragons, the actual Town Tracker, to get into a situation where he is eliminated D1. House's replacement is for some reason NKed right before ELO after that fakeclaim which could have easily lost Town the game on D3. They ended up losing in D4 ELO after catching scum D3.
In another maf win, the Town Babysitter self-hammered on D2 near deadline stating their death would give info after the other TPR was already NKed N1. So... if you're worried about getting deadlined as PR maybe claim earlier than normal to give people time to wagon elsewhere?
Finally there is a game where the Vanilla Cop just doesn't claim on D1 for some reason and is Eliminated. Like in that situation obviously you should claim as there is a 50-50 shot that a town doctor can protect you that night.

Can you expand on this? I hadn't considered hypoclaiming before you pointed that out, but now that you have I've noticed something. (waiting to post it for now)
All of that seems pretty par for the course for Town PR play that I've seen. They get the uber special role and really, really want to use it so they don't claim it (in hopes that maf won't target them), get angry really easily, self-vote/self-hammer, etc. Bad town-fake claims are also par for the course tbh.
If the clock lands on 5 our TPR's are Jailkeeper/Babysitter, both of which are not investigative roles so hypoclaiming doesn't really bear much fruit. JK can only really play as an investigative if there's 1 scum left IIRC.
