I'm going to play a mafia game in 2032, roll scum, paste at least 4 exact quotes from this game with only player names changed, win, and quote this post in postgame

Tragically, it would be better if you didn't
I think quoting yourself as scum should be mandatory though, if you don't make funny posts as scum then you're not maximising how much fun you can have in this game

I want to try modding the 10:5 version of this setup and seeing if that skews the balance the other way.

Thank you for modding Morning Tweet! Fantastic flavor

Also a very nice player list it was a fun game

I was probably the person the most afraid of seeing the result of the Isis flip lmao.

I put a lot into that vote, I spent 4 straight hours thinking about my choice in Heaven, Hectic made it look a lot easier then I did lol. I hammered since I basically spent 4 hours creating concrete connections between 2 of the actual scum and randomly throwing in Clidd and Dann freaking out about a "what if" moment. I don't think I ever feared Hectic because his reads had enough accuracy, I couldn't really weave him into any sensible teams even when I tried lol.

I tried to find a past game with town being heavened round 1 to see how they approached it to see if that would help me out.
The only game I found involved someone voting RC for being RC lol.

Not sure how I feel about balance of this setup, looking back I saw scum win it but it feels town sided especially for the current quality of play on site.
The scum wins I found were back from a time I don't consider towns to be as good as they are nowadays.

Oddly enough I was totally fine with helled since I knew I would the most likely candidate if town was someone else and got helled.

Hayasaka, you were great. The Isis call was not one I would've been able to make.

Not sure why you would expect it to? It's still a 2:1 ratio of town to scum.
I know there's the "towns throw larges" thesis but it seems weak in comparison to plenty of test info about this ratio and how strong town's advantages look on paper.
Is there something else I'm missing?

- Town win if they achieve send 4 scum hells.
- Scum win if they send 3 to heaven or win a judgement day.
- After sending a 3rd scum to Hell the game will no longer have heaven phases.

Do you think that would be enough?

Generally it's completely mountainous when I think evens it out

and the WIFOM that surrounds associations could be considered scum sided

I wonder if two people could have a secret agreed council where they approve of the judged person?
K this is taking away from vanilla.
Or have a scum role for heaven that says during h1 to h2 phase select one player they may not be heavened this phase.
Or have a scum Idk the role name where they are elim in a hell phase if not judgement then take someone along with them.

Is this all for a 10:5? Yeah, I think that's good enough to try out for a 10:5.

That looks pretty good
60% scum in heaven is a better ratio
