Yes. I was going to get some other things done first, but let's get it rolling.In post 4099, Grendel wrote:Subject: Hell is other people

There were an absolute crapton of Town fakeclaim gambits this game. I'm looking at you, Rautherdir and RC.
I don't find them to be helpful or pro-Town. Theyrepeatedlyalmost screwed Town over, to the point where it was sheer dumb luck that they didn't. Rautherdir claimed roleblock at the start of D3, after MBGjust happenedto jailkeep him the night before. If he'd claimed any kind of investigation at all, it would have (and should have) gotten him MLed. He also faked an innocent on RC (I think) which could have been disastrous if it had been wrong and believed.
All of the fakeclaims also completely screwed up your setup speculation. This was a very low-power game, and the Deputy + Motion Detector claims really threw that off its axle.
And that's not even touching all of RC's claims. Yeesh.
I'm not saying Town fakeclaims are always a bad idea, but they were way overboard this time around."Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

They all turned out exceptionally well in this game, but I get the feeling we were also exceptionally lucky. Pushing RC, the inno, not retracting, it all aligned in a weirdly perfect way for Town.In post 4099, Grendel wrote:Subject: Hell is other people

Trust your gut a bit more. You tend to bounce all over the place and turn on a dime. While guarding against complacency is a trait that the best Town cultivate, too much of it can turn into paranoia. Conversely, perseverating on stale reads you don't really believe in anymore is just as destructive. It's a fine balance.In post 4103, nancy wrote:Also, if anyone has any advice for me, I'd love to hear it. Learned such a lot over the course of this game, about myself and about the game.
Well......you have a distinct reputation for making fakeclaims, so I don't think they actually affected the game much at all. Which is kind of its own problem. When you gambit so much that it has no effect, you're kind of just spinning your wheels.In post 4104, RadiantCowbells wrote:Which claim of mine do you believe hurt down or had serious potential to?"Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

No it didn't. TB no-killed for the WIFOM, you didn't have anything to do with it. He was hoping to get MBG's jailkeep target MLed. I'd be utterly shocked if anyone failed to see through the tracker claim."Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

Not really you had 3 votes on you, 2 of which were scum, and most of the town was against your lynch.In post 4112, RadiantCowbells wrote:Hell, if I hadn't been fake innod I may or may not have been lynched D2. If I was do you think town ends up winning?
Anyways GGs to all, and thanks for modding Pine. The flavor was great, and would love to /in if you mod again anytime soon.

Motion detector was LUV!scum's fake claim. That's a bit different then town fake claiming somethingIn post 4101, Pine wrote:

Fair enough. And I'm not intending to defend Rautherdir because I believe that they hurt town badly in a number of ways and should have immediately retracted on D3.
But I don't think anything I did hurt town besides the Gerry push and besides having an incorrect read I don't think anything there was my fault.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.- mattblackguy

If Cooperative Sheep wasn't a universal scumread it may have been him too but I didn't feel like fighting crowd sentiment when I was equally certain that you were town.
Idk it's just kind of rattling that I started the JJD wagon, immediately called the associatives with LUV, only to get sidetracked by town fakeclaiming (and if Fro99er wasn't so adamant I'd have still insisted on lynching Uzi that day), then immediately nailed Gin/TB in consecution to read a dead thread of people bitching about my play.
Even if you don't like my gambits I feel like my scumhunting after the Gerryoat fuckup was on point. I am sad.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.- mastina

In post 4111, RadiantCowbells wrote:Ok. speaking specifically gambits wise:
do you or do you not think that me treating mbg like confscum in the EOD of D3 contributed to him surviving? Was that a good or a bad thing?
I don't think your gambits had anything to do with any of what you just mentioned. The only thing that may have been believed was that you were full bulletproof, a fib I'd make every time.In post 4112, RadiantCowbells wrote:Hell, if I hadn't been fake innod I may or may not have been lynched D2. If I was do you think town ends up winning?
It's pretty limited. For starters, they're best used sparingly. I'd go several games between attempts, bare minimum. They are also best when they are exaggerations or minimizations of the truth, such as claiming Doc when you're actually a Bodyguard, or Cop as a Hider. My various waffling about my abilities in Clumsy's Curse of Strahd mini is a good example of a Town lie.In post 4114, Grendel wrote:What are some situations you've seen that you'd classify as a town fake claim done right?
When they're bad is when they're provably or demonstrably falsifiable, or when they're made without a clear-cut and direct agenda. Anything that requires you to produce results that could be found to be wrong is dangerous. Doubling down on investigative roles greatly complicates setup spec. Claiming Tracker would have been just fine as BP, because you might draw the kill onto your shield. But doing so flippantly for a murky reason with a robust investigator already flipped when you've already claimed something else is just unhelpful. The dead thread and I collectively rolled our eyes."Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

I thought that Gin/Luv's slot flipping scum made it pretty clear that sheep was town.

I think everything you did post D1's mislynch kept town moving in the right direction RC. You, and Keyser, were pivotal to town's victory imo. Things probably would have turned out differently if you died early/ weren't here for D3-D5. - Grendel
