Mini Normal 1929 - Game Over

[LlamaFluff]

Llama I'm talking about confirmation bias. Is this an old school thing

What is the difference between confirmation bias and not being convinced by defenses that a read is different to you? I think it is just in the eyes of the beholder. Nothing you really said made me think I was likely wrong because it just bounced around the point and tried to deflect things instead of showing how town did blatantly scummy things. To me a successful defense of an accusation is convincing me that "town would have done X because of Y" or "what happened wasn't X but Y" which you never did.

Ircher why the encryptor

[LlamaFluff]

Because it adds more swing to an already swingy game?

Ircher why the encryptor

I can answer this: it makes it so mafia can have daychat without town knowing.

[LlamaFluff]

Which is why with two scum it increases the swing factor.

I absolutely love encryptor as a role, widely underused despite being one of the most skill oriented roles in the game (meaning the better the scum team the better the role is). Just here it adds to swing factor because there are only two scum. One dies and the role is immediately rendered useless.

[Mulch]

... It's useless anyway

[LlamaFluff]

Good scum can make it very valuable. Knowing what your partners intentions behind moves are can really help scum make things look natural and build off each others actions throughout the day. Being surprised by your partner or knowing they are trying to do something but not being able to tell what is difficult in the day phase. Not having to sit there and guess what a move means, and instead being able to make the optimal reaction to help the team, is very important. Ive had a game where I think a win came mainly due to encryptor resulting in scum team knew all the PRs and set up multiple mislynches during a D1 bus that was coordinated backstage.

Like I said, it depends on who is scum, but when scum is strong, its an extremely strong advantage. If scum is bad or just ignored it, then its a bad role.

[Mulch]

I'm saying I had 2 scum anyway lol so it was useless

[Gamma Emerald]

No, encryptor makes it not public information that mafia have daychat in Normals.

This.

[Ircher]

All threads should be released by now.

[Mulch]

Carca, how many scum do you think they have?
Think they have any particular roles?

Uhhh I'm going to take a lucky guess and say 3.
I think maybe one of them would have a role. It seems standard.

[Mulch]

Lucky guess lmaaaaaaooooo
