i think my viewpoint was impacted by the open we played where like i wrote you off as town tunneling me or something and you were scum, made me want to give you less slack this gameIn post 162, Doctor Drew wrote: I have never seen her as scum, but she knows how I sometimes can be as town......don't get her push on me.
i think in the future i'll change my approach to you since it clearly backfired in this gametry as you might, you continue to be yourself.-

anyway uh i don't think anyone was talking shit about me in the pts which is all i really cared about so yeah
i think i like the idea of the setup but 9:4 does tend to be very scumsided? it doesn't really matter because when you sign up for a role madness game you shouldn't expect perfect balance, and the mafia played well in this game - i even had roden as my top townread at one point! he was very goodtry as you might, you continue to be yourself.-

Sucks, I think other than Hu Tao, I would have ended up with that solve.
Was already leaning CSF.
Unfortunate that I had Roden early Day 1, but they flipped it. Good on Roden .CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

Hard agree. I haven't looked at the hidden info yet, but it was basically mountainous, which has only a 39.5% expected town winrate at an 11:2 ratio.

Scum didn't have totally reliable nightkills but it certainly was good enough that it's far off of being a nightless.

That's right, I was waiting to say this post game, but I looked undertale up and it's right up my alley! I love a retro look game and I also love it when choices matter in games. Into the Steam cart it has gone

Disclaimer, setup design is not my forte, but I have to agree with this. I thought the concept was cool and I really enjoyed the mechanic of town power being decided by public vote, but I'm not sure 4:9 was the best ratio for this. It felt like there was a lot of possibilities in the setup and a lot of room for development, but very little time for us to actually explore those possibilities or to really get anywhere mechanically. D3 was MeLo and we didn't even know it. I do think this could have worked better as a 10v3 or even as a large. I do also agree that the amount of scum information and power seemed disproportionate.In post 2589, Aureal wrote:

Yeah, after witnessing how it did play out, 4:9 was definitely not the correct ratio. 3:10 does feel to me like it would be notably townsided thou, town could potentially mislim 6 times and still win which does not sound right. Probably you are right this should have been a large to give you time to do stuff.
Tbf here if you nailed a scum D1 or D2 then there would have been quite a lot more breathing room, but the swing here is likely excessive-

Yeah so it’s easy to get in the mindstate that town needs to hit back with like sacrifice or assassination if they miss on the elim. But the potential to kill 4 town off in the first 2 days without any scum ability involved is really damning.In post 2598, biancospino wrote: Yeah, after witnessing how it did play out, 4:9 was definitely not the correct ratio. 3:10 does feel to me like it would be notably townsided thou, town could potentially mislim 6 times and still win which does not sound right.
