I feel like it always happens and it's the least funny thing ever. I don't care if this puts a huge target on my back, obviously now the mafia has to nightkill me for standing up and being so braveIn post 25, derp wrote:i have an even better question: who scumread the mod?

I think hypoclaiming is a good idea

which is more or less what I said. but if real cop ever gets a guilty do they claim the guilty or random inno?In post 68, MiniVirgo wrote:I think we should just do something like
Bus Drive - MiniVirgo/Big Elephant
Cop - Big Elephant (inno)
That way we have a 50% clear on any town that the real cop hypoclaimed, more or less chance depending on who and when it was.

not really imo, but i need to think about this more but at first glance i think scum would try to use SBD to make sure their kill doesn't get interfered with TBD(?)In post 65, MiniVirgo wrote:2/3. Scum has their own bus drive, that happens before Town's meaning that protective the most pro-town is semi-useless and we shouldn't ever tell the Cop who to check. Not even in a given poe, they can decide on their own.-

yes, you're the bestIn post 77, yessiree wrote:imo the ideal scenario that we get out of hypoclaiming should be
1. force maf to choose sub-optimal kills, or risk killing a bussed target
this is the main reason hypoclaiming bus targets is good so mafia has to guess which one is the genuine bus targets
for it to work though, the hypo target A should be the one we want to protect, and hypo target B should be spread out
I mean sure mafia can try to out-WIFOM the hypo targets but that means the plan is already working by forcing them to choose a sub-optimal target
2. allow cop to get as many valid results as possible
so yes, cop should cop the nulls/hard-to-sorts to avoid getting tangled up with the busses
cop has to claim targets imo, its THE way to optimise getting useful info.

well that's not that bad

Been giving this some thought
I think virgo is rather obvious town? they're trying to think of mechanical options when if they were scum. could have just done in the PT. Overall tone also quite townie, I'm slightly paranoid of them but I think considering optimal strategies for town (which make sense) is rather town!AI
I think yessiree's #87 reads decently genuine, engaging with JV about mechanics and thinking about strategies is unnecessary as scum
I've got pings on Johnny, giving explanations are pretty much NAI, looks like johnny is just trying to make waves out of nowhere. This isn't getting the game out of RVS, its just shitpushing imo-

I do genuinely think you as my strongest TR atm, scum!JV coasts around a whole lot more, while you're engaging yessiree, you're trying to engage N_M-

I mean, it's not the talk itelf that gives JV and yessiree townpoints, it's the proactivity, it's how they suggest solutions to solve this game and furthering the game out of RVS, and how they engage each other in a very genuine tone

ugh signing posts as hydra is officially my least favourite thing
not really sure what to think of prof. mafia for that vote on me as it's *something* that's game furthering, but at least it's quite a hot take given the townblock between me/JV/yessiree emerging

N_M's bold style is pretty town!AI. Scum usually don't go against the grain like that imo.
"People who have really out there reads, stick out too much, don't agree with the generally established townblock, and want to do their own thing which people don't largely agree with get lynched incredibly consistently. They also incredibly consistently flip town." - RadiantCowbells
re: self townblocking, its not really such a bad idea, im just currently identifying yessiree and JV as town and you're doing the same

as town to get out of RVS is to find something scummy and push it to become a wagon which leads to more points of discussion
johnny vanity votes professor mafia without any explanation at all, and does not have the motivation of making their vote into a wagon, instead its voting for the sake of voting, which is quite scummy.

Read my post but slowly, or maybe I screwed the wording
A50: lets just play mountainous!
is different because A50 didn't entertain the (more optimal) way of playing this through

You did entertain the more optimal play and actually put thought and proactivity in trying to mech-solve this via hypoclaiming, while A50 just suggested to play this like mountainous so there's a fundamental difference and you don't deserve an SR for thinking about just ignoring the mechplay, simply because 1) you didn't state it at the time and 2) you entertained mechsolving
my read is not solely based on this, I have other reasons
