I was listening to this on Spotify when I read this thread:


Makes your luck so much sadder than it is.
I mostly just lurk now.

If you're always lynched day one or two it probably doesn't have much to do with luck.

Maybe
I use mafBlack and generally get lynched either on day 1 or day 3 it seems
if not those I typically make it to endgame

You gotta make it risky for scum to leave you alive.

Outlouding them is usually enough.

I think the point being made is more that, if you consistently get lynched early (it seems as both alignments?) there's probably something that you're doing wrong, and that can probably be fixed.

Bad luck is more like a bunch of results that are:

When you're town

D1 scum lynch
N1 you get shot
every lynch after that is on town

or constantly randing town against scum teams that are actually good, and/or randing town when all your teammates are a motley crew of #FreeDeadVillager, Derptunnellers, Gamethrowing PRs, etc

or having your best games, where your reads are awesome and you're legitimately kicking ass, get cancelled
Spoiler: This Has Happened to Me
TWICE
Once because someone cheated
Once because someone decided that traitor wasn't a fun role so he PM'd like half the game his entire scum team (while his godfather was about to get lynched ON DAY TWO)




When you're scum

Frequently randing shitty scum teammates who keep getting derplynched d1 and d2 (or who have a bad tendency to bus in fairly obvious ways, or who lurk the whole game out, or who forget to log their night actions and the host won't let you send it in for them),
and/or randing a lot of mechanically unwinnable setups
