i feel kind of silly with how 100% convinced i was that norris was pooky, and then i spent half an hour wondering who blair was...I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M-

Okay. I am going to 1/4 claim.
I am an invest role. I will not be claiming what role that is. I will also not be revealing my results yet.
This is part of the reason that I was thinking about whether invests should claim start of day with post 727. And part of why I was digging into Childs thoughts on the balance of 1 shot Vig + 1 shot Cop + 1 shot mailman and if it could fit another PR in there.
I was worried that it couldn't, and I wanted to get Childs's thoughts on that on the record, and if they said that that had to be it, then I could potentially reveal I am a PR and see if they then changed their thinking on Palmer.
Copper and Clark need to claim Vanilla/Not Vanilla in their next post and claim their targets each night they could fire.-

We went for Lars. As I recall we were hoping it might lead town to think scum was off the Clark wagon. We did consider going for MacReady instead thoughIn post 1004, skitter30 wrote:

I figured Childs was one shot and kinda agreed with whoever said the vig power was double edged. Thought we'd have a chance to kill Childs N2.
It seemed likely if there was a protective role it was on Childs or Fuchs. And Garry, Copper and Norris all seemed possible future mislims.
On a different note we were hoping the fact all three of us were on Copper most of D1 would seem too aligned making it less likely for all three of us to be scum together, but no one even noticed that lol."holy shit this entire time i thought imaginalitys profile was a purple seahorse" - camelCasedSnivy-

Both obviously town, and leading us towards scum kills.
You were the person I guessed was going to be the night 1 kill during that night actually-

Without being able to rely on meta, it felt super 'back to basics', and i was actually able to focus on the text and context of the posts, which i think helped a lotIn post 1014, Lukewarm wrote:Yeah, you were crushing it this game.ShowHiatus once more.

Well I think everyone immediately knew who I was by my stream-of-consciousness spampost style and generally weird wording. This was fun but I kinda felt like I was on the sidelines while town crushed.

I appreciate the carry from people ignoring my wrong setup spec, getting a guilty, and telling me who to shoot tho. All I really had to do was be a PR and be able to be me convincingly so.-

And yeah, not giving Things PRs (or at least telling town there are no Thing PRs) was a mistake and kinda half-broke the setup.-

I didn't submit a list because I suck at picking up relatively subtle things like post style and I'd be off on everything, so.-

Did you change the account's theme from the default the mod gave you? Do you have the beige theme on your main? Your alts should always have different themes.-

i do think revealing the things had no power roles was a mistake, i somewhat absent-mindedly gave that info out in the setup posts without thinking about the implications. that being said, the only confirmable power roles in the setup were the friendly neighbor, which cleared itself regardless, and the vig, which is basically always town in MS site meta. i suppose the motion detector could confirm itself too but that's a somewhat unlikely scenario.In post 984, mastina wrote:Btw on the setup:
I feel like this setup would be balanced if it was not known the Things had no power roles, but knowing that every power role had to be town, I do think the setup was townsided, here.
For it to not be, assimilation needed to be more viable than it actually was. I thought that we had only three power roles--the 1x cop, the 1x "messenger" (friendly neighbor), and the 1x vig--because that was three conftown, and that wemaybehad room for like a 1x doctor (or as it turned out, x-shot bodyguard).
With the knowledge that Things had no PRs, that's about the level I'd expect for town power, but we had another investigative on top of that.
If we didn't have the knowledge of Things not having PRs, then I think the town has the perfect level of town power; this setup would be close to the balanced range in a mini normal, for instance. The lack of flips and Things having the assimilation mechanic would aid the scum, as would the lack of knowing for sure some things.
But imo, it needed to be one of the two, not both.
We needed either fewer PRs with the knowledge we had, or the number of PRs with less knowledge than we had.
That said, obviously, scum elimination with scum guilty and town being right on the third meant scum got a disproportionately bad start, and I think the win wasmostlyfrom good play, but I def think it was townsided at least somewhat.
it is hard to assess balance when town stomps, i think the power obviously had a cumulative strength since town rolled, the intention was building in some redundancy to counteract the no reveals + assimilation mechanics. I think, for instance, the 1-shot cop is much less powerful when getting a clear because town can't be assured the cop or his clear are legitimate, and even if they are, if they haven't been jumped on later days. motion detector in most instances is unlikely to get anything useful at all. i think probably the vig was underestimated in review where it was seen as being mostly antitown, which was probably not correct.
but yeah basically was counting on the prs being less useful than they actually werefree crypto
