They do, by setup elimination.

They had all the information to figure out what setup they were in in pregame, when they got their roles.

Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.

I disagreed with the ability of scum to use their own action plus the NK, when a partner exists to do the NK. Both teams seem to have identified the potential to nerf the tracker (and to a lesser extent JK) by having both actions submitted by the same player.

For this specific setup, I'm not sure about the balance of having two full RB's. It seems to leave town vulnerable, though maybe I'm thinking swing more than balance. Or maybe it just feels that way because so many roles got outed early.

A two wolf team knows for sure it's multiball, but do mafia also know? That could give wolves an advantage.


I'd assume they would based on the setup combinations.

Two full RBs is incredibly balanced but the cop being obvious so early just made the RB actions predictable.

Yeah it wasn't particularly great that we had essentially 3 PRs outed day 1.

Once the cops were a limited problem, the solution became eliminating those who would lynch us.

I can't believe people didn't call me out on my BC interaction. I kept them in a position where I never needed to vote them: defending them when it was within reason to defend them, and when the tides turned against them for scummy content which was undeniably scummy (even if not impossible from town), scumreading them lightly without actually pushing them.

To be fair, I was legitimately scumhunting. I thought acryon was scum up until KainTepes flipped. I thought Kop was legitimately scum prior to that. (Not to mention, thinking chilledtea was scum until chilledtea claimed tracker; I thought Xtoxm was the tracker, or failing that, KainTepes.) Totally BSed my Almost50 read (and Almost50 actually correctly picked up on my scumtell: no listing!), but other than that I was being honest, so I suppose that helped. Being scum in multiball allows for a lot of similarity to my town game.

As for the Setup.

Pisskop, I've been thinking. As I said, this Setup is very close to the one I designed (Matrix–14), although it seems to be based upon different things.
Doubling-up PRs in the table would result that the Setup could be solved later. Once a town-PR gets forced to out (just like in this game), things will be much easier for any scum faction(s). Unless it's Setup6 with 5 town-PRs: I don't think the scumteam could ever win that after a Day1 massclaim. (3 and 5 would be tricky, too). This is a common thing which could be improved.

Others too pointed it out that the Roleblocker being able to Block and Nightkill at the same time literally turns off a town-PR.

Almost every Setup has more than one Anti-Town faction, which makes the games very swingy. If any scum factions gets a good start at Day1, the Setup is pretty unforgiving for the town. And once some PRs are outed, the chance for a crosskill drops significantly... However, if a scum faction gets into trouble too early in a town-PR-heavy Setup, it's the opposite.

Maybe Daytalk is a thing which could be tinkered with. What if scum factions get Daytalk for ONE selected Day only?

Eh I can't help but disagree. His playstyle, town or scum, makes the game less enjoyable for everyone in town. There are a million ways to play the game that don't have that effect on town. Maybe I'm a bit of a purist, but I don't like the idea of leading people astray based on something other than words.

I've been thinking about this with a few drinks in, but I'm thinking an encryptor role might be better.
