Guys, I feel like the content of Gentleman 8’s post may come from a player who is a vampire, warlock, or werewolf. Is there anything that you can point me to to assuage my doubts!?

Also why did you invite mafia to the dance? We really could have avoided this entire situation if you had better friends.

Who said anything about mafia? Don't slip on the dance floor, Lady 7.

Thank you, please do that. Given he invited a vampire, warlock and a werewolf it seems he knows what he was doing. Quite frankly the Scarlet Devil Mansion is full of lunatics and I imagine that's where the mafia came from.
I can see why they would invite the werewolf given you are also one, but I don't really get why he would want to invite the other 2.

I am actually incredibly excited to play this game. Given we are all on secret alts we can probably try and play the predance phase optimally which I don't think has ever been done before.
Basically my plan is I think the Prince should pick his top 2 Ladies and gentlemen who will then pair among each other based on personal preference. This creates a baseline of 3 solid pairs when we include the 3rd rate Lady being paired with the IC. This makes the kill somewhat unclear for the mafia although the IC is likely still dying in this situation. Not saying those 2 pairs should never die but it gives us a good baseline.
The rest of the pairs can be people who trust each other, basically basic dance strategy.
Any objections to this plan?

We only need to correctly identify 1 T-T pairing to win, right? Then yeah, that sounds pretty solid.

That sounds basically like a good plan, is the problem not that VWW are going to be trying very hard to play for a pocket on G8, meaning that his ability to successfully make calls on who actually are the towniest 2 ladies and 2 gents will be impaired.
I also kind of like the idea of choosing on my own steam whether or not to accept a proposal, but I guess that’s reasonably likely anyway.
So yeah overall I’m on board with that plan, but I think the prince should talk through his choices properly before dictating them to give us a chance to check for bias in his picks

on a serious note, i have mod confirmation that the werewolf is hiding her ears by lowering them and making them blend with her hair. do with this vital piece of information what you will... i'm off to find the cordial i was promised

Two, technically, as VWW can kill one. I suppose it’s optimal to kill the IC but not guaranteed.

How is a werewolf/vampire/warlock (from now on will be referred to as a vamlolf) going to pocket an IC?

Lady 5 rapidly fluffs up her hair to give it extra volume for no reason whatsoever

I mean idk, probably the same way scum would pocket an IC in other games?

I agree with all your reads, Gentlemen 8. We're really mindmelding here, bud.
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:20 am
by Lady 5
Engaging with them a lot, trying to predict what their reads will be and get their first to simulate mind melding, pushing back on some things lightly so it doesn’t look too much like a pocket, being really nice, flirting
There’s a very long list that doesn’t end there, but I don’t know why scum wouldn’t play to pocket the IC, or at least why one of VWW wouldnt

Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking too narrowly about townreading someone = pocketing them.

I never said we couldn't lynch the pairs, new info will always become available.
While I agree with you that pocketing 1 player isn't that difficult we can always readjust, being wrong is a tool we can use to solve the game. I don't think we should ignore the request of the Prince assuming he works with the team because that kind of dissonance is usually how these dance games go south.

We'd need 2-3.
Wolves can pair together which means 1 town pair gets end gamed against a W/W pair.
Wolves also get 1 kill which makes it 2 pairs ignoring the above.
Not sure how I feel about this town slip as I am the only one to have noticed it. But I think Gentleman 1 is probably town.
