full doc, 1xcop, 1xvig, a WIFOM anti-town pr is pretty weak but I don't think we were strong either. I'm also p sure that the "point" of the hood was to get prof lynched and then the hood functions as a masonry. If you mean weak from bad town play then yeah.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm definitely on team "this was a townsided game." The moderation was very good and I like xyzzy, but, like, I do believe that doc + 1-shot cop + 1-shot vig + a neighbourhood isn't balanced against 3 goons, let alone a watcher. It's not like I'm an expert on balance but judging by what I see in most games I think most mods would believe the same thing. I think if it weren't for that there's a high chance I could have been lynched today.
I wonder if this is going to be a "everyone played bad, town played worse, fuck everyone" dead PT or a "nobody posts anything" dead PT?No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.- Momrangal

I don't really think this game was townsided? 1-shot cop and 1-shot vig gives 2-3 clears, doc maybe 1-2, so if town plays very optimally they CAN get a lot of clears, but I think most of the time this power just collapses, like it did in this game.No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.- Ausuka

ok this is incoherent. Let me rephrase it.In post 1259, Ausuka wrote:I think the way the RB claim played out in getting me TR'd towards the end was largely due to assumptions people made about the setup after massclaim, I feel.
"The way I got TR'd towards the end for my RB claim was largely due to assumptions made about the setup, in my opinion."No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.- Nero Cain

I don't feel like it was all that scum sided or town sided. I guess you could go "oh this town was weak, and its light mountianous!" Wich is considered scumsided but town still had a fair bit of pwer here.
I think the RB was a good claim. I dunno if it should be considered scummy worthy b/c it was only made possible by the setup and me not claiming PR. But if Ausuka does get a scummie then Proffi should get credit too b/c he was the one that had my watch her wich made RB safe to claim.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

I don’t know if it is typical of scum to use their PRs to use their roles to essentially “play defence” by self watching someone in the team thereby allowing us to make certain moves more safely but it seemed quite effective
I actually missed the RB claim by Ausuka and I didn’t want to query it in case anyone actually went “no she’s not town at all”

I definitely think the overall time limit turned out to be helpful to scum - although saying that, even as town id probably policy QL day 1In post 1255, Momrangal wrote:I think the setup was a little townsided, but the nature of the game was more beneficial to scum so it evened out a bit kinda.

The way you claimed was super organic as well, making it highly unlikely as a fakeclaim. If the game continued i may have questioned scumrb but your confidence in stopping the kill would have made that unlikelyIn post 1259, Ausuka wrote:I think the way the RB claim played out in getting me TR'd towards the end was largely due to assumptions people made about the setup after massclaim, I feel.- Momrangal

I mean it's actually a valid strategy, and I applaud whoever came up with it for finding a clever use for the role.In post 1262, profii wrote:I don’t know if it is typical of scum to use their PRs to use their roles to essentially “play defence” by self watching someone in the team thereby allowing us to make certain moves more safely but it seemed quite effective

internal memo -- do not distribute
some of you may have heard that a shipment was made containing our proprietary technology. we are launching an internal review effective immediately to determine how this happened, and we will keep you informed in the coming days. we have sent out a team of three operatives to intercept this shipment before it arrives, and we anticipate no issues retrieving the package.

internal memo -- do not distribute
our operatives have successfully reacquired the delivery. we are still in the process of determining how it got out in the first place, and you should expect organizational changes in the coming days to ensure that no incidents like this happen again. to address some ongoing rumors, yes, we did plant an explosive device in the town set to go off if our operatives failed to retrieve the package in time. were our operatives in danger from this? no. they carried out their mission with precision. the correct response to this event is not to lose faith in this company but to remain assured that we are absolutely in control. the Echo Bay SmartBullet is the most innovative technological achievement in human history and will radically alter the way we carry out our work in the future. did we put the lives of our operatives in danger? I would argue that we did not. I am confident that there will be some long conversations ahead regarding the welfare of our employees, but please remain assured that we are on your side. the operatives should be arriving back at our headquarters tomorrow, at which point we will have an amicable discussion of our next steps.
