Agree. It's definitely best if we know the hider's target. We can confirm townies and scum. It's worth it in this setup, when we know that there's a hider. I've been Hider before, and this makes sense.don_johnson wrote:okay. don't freak out. but.
at some point before the end of the day our hider should claim. DO NOT CLAIM YET. it is my understanding of the role that hider dies if they hide behind scum, no? so better to be out in the open and verbalizing targets. agree/disagree?

Uhhh, Guys. if the hider verbalises who they're hiding behind, the mafia gets a 2 for 1. And they'll only have to trade 1 goon for it, at which point a watcher has to claim to get said goon, at which point the watcher is NK'd...
So we lose a Watcher, The hider, and a VT, all for 1 goon, leaving us in 8:2 with 1 watcher, then 7:1 mountainous.
wcs: The hider hides behind a Watcher. 8:2 Mountainous.

It's not really relevant to day play.Did anyone notice we've already lost a town powerole?
No. Verbalises target, scum kill that guy hider gets twofer'd. Play is hider does what he wants for a bit and we potentially get windfall later potentially he dies. Watcher can prevent but we don't want watcher to prevent for various reasons. Strength of role is not in actual role ability but in rock solid claim itself, with benefits, .at some point before the end of the day our hider should claim. DO NOT CLAIM YET. it is my understanding of the role that hider dies if they hide behind scum, no? so better to be out in the open and verbalizing targets. agree/disagree?
Watcher confusion irrelevant. If watcher recieves result and target not dead, guy he has the result on is hider or target is hider. Former case is more likely, latter case creates much more confusion so should be avoided until late game and clear.who they are targeting then it prevents watcher confusion-

Except that unless the hider says (or breadcrumbs, I guess), his role is not of any use. So if he doesn't say his target he may as well not hide, if he may.
Chrono, you said that we lose a Watcher, Hider, and VT. Where'd the VT come in? Also, it would be D3 by the time the watcher was killed.Show"You're a silly Pom. Silly silly girl." -Fate

I'm aware of what the role does. That not the same thing as how we treat the role. I don't see the benefit of any town interference against the way this would normally play out.Pomegranate wrote:

We treat the role as a role we can rely on as existing and being confirmable. We don't rely on it to do shit it is unreliable at doing by virtue of it's fundamental design.-

mafia trades a goon on day 2 in order to take out the hider. watchers targets are narrowed down greatly. watchers don't need to claim to engineer a lynch if they are good at building cases and whatnot. we are in a low number game, using every resource available to us is an optimal strategy imo. a dead hider on day 2 does us no good without a claimed target or a watcher seeing it. with three goons there is a good potential for us to end up with a nk'd player and a dead hider and nothing to show for it, whereas if hider claims we most certainly reap benefits. if mafia chooses not to kill hider, then we have a confirmed townie. either way, it seems to swing the numbers in favor of town. also, an early claim becomes uncounterable late game. scum would be bold to counterclaim the hider on day 1, no?town 39-32

No watcher is good enough to make a case against someone who they have not previously have suspected in a way serious enough to end in that guys lynch without it being obvious to the scum they are the watcher, sorry. Besides, if we're relying on hypothetical good play, then I'll have caught all the scum by the end of the today anyway, so what the watcher does isn't really relevant.don_johnson wrote:mafia trades a goon on day 2 in order to take out the hider. watchers targets are narrowed down greatly. watchers don't need to claim to engineer a lynch if they are good at building cases and whatnot. we are in a low number game, using every resource available to us is an optimal strategy imo. a dead hider on day 2 does us no good without a claimed target or a watcher seeing it. with three goons there is a good potential for us to end up with a nk'd player and a dead hider and nothing to show for it, whereas if hider claims we most certainly reap benefits. if mafia chooses not to kill hider, then we have a confirmed townie. either way, it seems to swing the numbers in favor of town. also, an early claim becomes uncounterable late game. scum would be bold to counterclaim the hider on day 1, no?
That's basically the root of my disagreement. I don't think it's possible to go through with an out the hider and watcher plan without publicising the watcher to any scum who's paying the slightest attention, and that pushes it into not worth it.
I also don't like claiming early with town power irregardless because that person is generally killed by endgame anyway, and all it means is that the scum have had more time to plan without having to account for surprises. A cast iron derailed lynch can really fuck up scum with a plan.-

Let's lynch scum instead.

His talks of being thorough without doing any scumhunting do not make me believe he has honest intentions in this game.

I agree with hider not claiming for the stated above reasons because there is a chance of 2/10 of actually hitting scum (excluding the hider himself). At Day 1 it's not an optimal strategy because the chances are slim and it could lead to a disadvantage going into Day 2.
However the hider claiming at Day 2 or 3 might work out depending how the day and night play out. The hider claim should be kept open for a possible move later on but I believe day 1 would not be the best option.The great blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.
