Yeah. My point was that even if it wasn't multi ball, the distribution at least possibly favors town. Multi ball just made it very town favored IMO.

RachMarie accidentally outed herself in the neighborhood, which led to Egg calling her out in the game thread. People had already suspected RachMarie at that point, so she came out as a mason and claimed with (I think it was) Klingoncelt, who also had some people suspect her. amalgam confirmed.

That's assuming they're aiming for other scum.

If they have
other
targets, say outed Masons or Innocent Children or good town scumhunters, to go after that's not going to be the case.

Good point.

If at 45 players with Town vs 1 Scumteam, what's a good ratio?

35:10?

It depends on the roles. W few PRs, 6/7 wolves probably fine. In Role madness,unless the wolf roles legitimately counter town power (here they really don't) you need higher numbers.

This EV calculator can only handle 36 players. A 30:6 has a town EV of around 10%. 35:10 can only be worse.

I started on play dip, also play on MU.

Fwiw, even a +10% modifier brings town EV to like 35%. And I'd think town should be +10% or more over a LONG game even without PRs. And in a pr heavy game, town gets vigs, docs, watches, jks etc, all of which pay off substantially.

I agree. As much as I'm trolling in here, don't let what happened to you here turn you off to the site just yet, HC. I had to wade through a few mislynches as a newbie. It happens.
Unless you're me, then you never get mislynched no matter how bad you play and you never get night killed no matter how good you are.

Unless RadiantCowbells is an innocent child and I'm town, then my mislynch will be pushed by him every time.

We gave a lot of power to the SK, but he/she/it/they will really need it. 41 opponents, and no one as an ally to provide advice, deflect criticism/momentum, etc. Hell of a hard road to hoe.

Looking at EV calculator, if you have 10/3, with town at +10%, you get town win rate of 40%. And in a large game with a bunch of PR's, including ivestigative, killing, blocking, protecting, I'd think the votechance should be solidly north of 10%.

So if I use 24 v 6 at +15% (I think highly reasonable given the role madness structure whether the best roles are town roles), you get town win of 40%. Adding 8 town (to 32) and 4 wolves (to 10) probably scum-sides it compared to 24v6, but you also get multiple more days of voting and posting data and chances for the wolves to self out in the process. So yeah 32/10 is probably too scum-sided, even in the role madness structure, but I 'd submit not by all that much. Something like 33/9 with these roles/neighborhoods/etc is I think pretty reasonable for a town v scum setup. Then again I'm probably more or less on the far end of the philosophical balancing scale lol

PS on a shorter note... "reviewed by mhsmith0" is probably a good sign you have little risk of being in a severely town-sided structure ;)

It's more likely severely scum-sided imo.
