First thing I want to address is the fact that there are elements of the set-up that are greatly being under-discussed. Let’s look at those elements –
Let’s address the second part first. Given the game starts with an odd number of players as long as we don’t lose multiple players to “not getting Kinky” in a phrase any permanent Lovers Sets of 2 are basically immune to Nightkill. If you have any questions as to why please ask but the upshots of this are as follows –In post 0, God of Power Outlets wrote:Each new day, the Orgy starts anew. Any Lovers are treated as a single slot for the purposes of Orgy Mechanic, although only the first player involved in a Get Kinky request will count for the Off-Limits check. IE Player A and B are lovers, and Player C requests to Get Kinky with Player B. Even if Player A isn't compatible with Player C, this would still work.
Each day phase will start with an odd-number of players. If at any time this cannot be accomplished, the Town will win.
This is bolded because it is of paramount importance everyone sees it and any “Oh, I didn’t know” posting is to be summarily ignored.
2. Any Town player lost to lack of “Getting Kinky” should very, very carefully choose what pairings they want to be made permanent. Given the possibilities Town has to be diligent and keep player numbers on Odds these Lover Twosomes can effectively become BP Townblocks and help direct how the game progresses safely without fear of Nightkills. Scum players making a “Book of Love” choice should have the choice considered WIFOM and basically little stock being put in the choice until such point that it is possible for Lover’s Pairs to be Nightkilled by scum.
Anyone who objects needs to pipe up right away.

Now on to my review of the thread –
DGB is probably Town. I know that “Thanks God I’m Town” may draw some attention as LAMIST or forced but I expect it from Town DGB given her recent run on MS.

How do you think this is any more likely to force scum to miss pairing up at all? And given that Off Limits Kinks probably submarines any plan that doesn’t take them into account I’m truly puzzled.In post 56, All In wrote:I was thinking we might "elect" a townread who then gets to select someone of their choice to partner up with. The partner then selects someone for the second pair and so on until only one person is left.
This also makes no sense to me in context of your “Let’s elect and pair up” plan which makes me feel it has the makings of posturing rather than honest Town posting.In post 57, All In wrote:outing off-limits will only give scum the opportunity to manipulate things. I'm not a big fan of that.
Given my opening post I’ve very curious how you don’t seem the potential for Town to win the game with carefully selected Town-Town BP immune lovers who box scum down into losing by keeping the number of living players at Odds at the start of each day.In post 81, All In wrote:I'm very interested in hearing how you're expecting scum to die if we're not going to agree on who is going to be unselected.
Clearly you haven’t read and considered carefully. Why not?In post 88, All In wrote:I have actually. I don't see the problem.

And here is my first scum read for piss-poor mechanical assessment of the set-up. And for 165 which is weak use of meta and feels like scum knowing Dram is town and looking for an easy reason to call him that.In post 121, podoboq wrote:Scum can't possibly have any compatible pairings within themselves, because if they did, they'd just auto-win by pairing with eachother every day.
Also for 169. If I could vote it would be here.

Elaborate. Curious the line of logic that gets you to this …In post 143, Gorkington wrote:hi fresh did you roll scum with thinkbig?

Here’s my second early scum-read. 6 pages is not something that requires “Serious catching up” given that there is a ton of RP fluffery going on.
Nn30 gets a similar mild scum read for 152.
