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.
:good:

Okay so Steven Universe mafia 2, rc was an innocent child AGAIN and after death tunneling obvtown RR and getting him quicklynched (he was town) he spent the rest of the game trying to lynch me while I just frowned.
To be fair,
RR was scumreading him. Even though he was an IC.

He wasn't confirmed at that point however, and both heads of RR are incredibly rigorous. Also I don't think scumreading a claimed IC can be considered alignment indicative, unless I'm missing something.

>the idea of fakeclaiming IC

I wonder if you could try to do that close to deadline to force a no-lynch...

Probably wouldn't work though

Mod confirms IC though. Pulling that shit near deadline as a non IC is basically a scum claim if it results in a no lynch.

I also saw a townie fake claim tracker on day 1 to avoid lynch. It... did not go well. Then again I subbed in D2 (as wolf) and got lynched D2 and town eventually won, so I guess it sorta worked out for them after all :oops:

That's the thing though, the way this role worked (or was claimed at least, I'm fuzzy on details), either some condition had to be met in order to trigger it, or triggering it incurred a penalty, or something. So RC could have potentially gotten away with never triggering his IC, and had everyone defending him because "hurr who would fakeclaim IC".

RR called bullshit and I feel they were right to do so. After they got mislynched RC relented and triggered the IC.

It would've been different if it was almost anyone else who claimed...

"RC" is a very good answer to "who would fakeclaim IC"

RC's play, including strongarming the lynch on FA-scum, should've made him town enough to not
have
to trigger the IC.

So the Vig hasn't submitted a Night Action yet, even though I BBC'd the remaining players and he/she has read the PM.

If the Vig is online and refusing to do anything in a game this massive, that's... lame.

I mean, I know you're a chronic lurker, but you can KILL people, IN A MASSIVE GAME.

And you've been online, and I know you've read your PM. Why does that happen.

Tempted to send another PM.

I doubt that it's Klingoncelt. She'd have two confirmed town voices directing her shot.

Is it one of the "vigilantes are negative utility" players? At this point, about half of the player list qualifies as lurkers.
