This is a given!
I never meant to sign up for THIS setup, and when I did, certainly didn't plan on drawing town.
You can blame KTS for that. :P
I just don't see a scumteam ever losing this game except in a case of EXTREME incompetence or EXTREME bad luck. We're talking, roleblocker blocks scum 2-3 times, luck. (I think that roleblocker is honestly the only town role in this setup that holds any value whatsoever: it can give the town an extra mislynch while catching scum. It does everything the tracker does, just...better.) I mean, doesn't matter all too much to me: from the moment I did join this game, I resolved to not count it as a game in my statistics.
Still, the setup is not something I think should be in the normal rotation since competent scum...just won't ever lose this. And by competent scum, I don't mean 'Don Corelone' scum. I mean, "not the worst scum players of all time", and
even then
, I wouldn't put it past the town to screw up. None of the town's power roles except the roleblocker (a conditionally-powerful role at best) can really get good info. The goon cop can get guilties, sure, but the traitor is immune and the goon cop can easily be countered by specific combinations of stacking should the scum decide to stack at all.
FUCKING KNEW IT.
Of course we did!
You were obviously scum when you buttered up to me. I thought you were scum even if Vedith was. Vedith flipping town only solidified it.
Sir Bastion was a scumread which came upon the realization that Vedith was town, so we needed to look at the game again. His posting made it pretty obvious he was scum, and I was fairly certain that AT LEAST one of you were scum if not both; I knew you weren't both town.
Lilith:
Can you please release the PT you made for our hydra?
I want to show the thought I put into our actions.
I actually DID put careful thought into it.
The Vedith block was very strategically done.
The Sir Bastion block was a good target (he was scum!), even if not quite the right one I needed.
It's really frustrating though.
IF I were to count this game as a game in my statistics, I'd be on a
nine-game losing streak
. NINE. Nine games, in a ROW, where I lost, usually for factors completely out of my control. (That being, either I was lynched or I was nightkilled or a certain reckless townie TWICE voted recklessly in lylo allowing scum to quick-hammer which...I can't really control.) Ten if you count DC Dual Universe as two games rather than one, actually.
