Re the conversion to LYLO, I'm looking forward to Wicked's thoughts. His iteration of the setup changed that aspect of the game.- DiamondSentinel

I'm not sure it was a decision so much that Brian decided to sheep wicked completely.In post 3174, fferyllt wrote:
In this iteration of the game, I think the various decisions to powerbus on day 1/2 really hurt scum. But, I think scum not bussing at all would also highlight the team to some extent.

But I replaced in the middle of day 1 so what do I know.
Doesnt feel like the town needs any extra help to make it LyLo without issue.
When Nacho and I hydra'd in the second game, Nacho hoped we'd draw scum because he thought the setup was quite winnable and would be a lot of fun.
I was soooooo relieved we drew town.“Why was I chosen?'

BATMAN: Only jugg was the only one we didn’t scum read at least not me
Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.

Congrats town! You guys were pretty scary to play against. Everyone was voting scum at the end of day 1.
I don't regret my decision to bus DiamondSentinel in and of itself, but I definitely pushed him too aggressively - probably more-so than I would have as town. It seems like Not_Mafia and Wisdom caught on to that and that wasn't a promising way to start the game. Sorry team.
As far as the setup goes, I still really like this setup and would definitely play again. Personally, I'm fine with the playing the game as is even if town has a mathematical disadvantage. But if balance is an issue for people (maybe that's why this game took so long to fill up), then maybe PM IV could explore a slight alteration in the mechanic. Another idea crossed my mind: Perpetual LyLo... 6 scum, 7 town, town need three out of six lynches to win. This way the setup can still be run as a mini game. And three out of six lynches is easier for town than three out of five lynches (36% as opposed to 24%). Doesn't have the same ring to it as 'best three out of five' but if you add some equity for the game dynamic (as we discussed a little bit in the dead thread), this might be pretty balanced.
Spoiler: math
As for the LyLo discussion, I'll have to check the rule set that I used. I don't remember exactly off the top of my head."You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. -Wayne Gretzky"

Oh okay. I guess the unique thing about PM II is that it incorporated plurality voting. I did allow for no-lynch in that game, but I suppose I didn't want it to happen more than once (Max didn't either). I think multiple no-lynches could cause the game to stall.
I also liked giving scum the option of making it LyLo if town decides to no-lynch."You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. -Wayne Gretzky"
