i argued to NSG pre-game that eldritchabomination was the biggest hit to the setup's balanceIn post 1452, WhemeStar wrote:Isn’t the eldritch role op??
we agreed that it's swingy dependent on how it's used
in this case, aneninen took a while to invite power players to the PT and kind of slow rolled a few players in
vaxkiller took mastina's suggestion but that (unfortunately???) brought a lot of chaos to the thread and made it essentially unworkable
neither took creature up on his offer to conf the slot as town by getting creature to pay attention to the game
but yeah i believe that the role in the right (active) hands can:
- conf itself as town with meta on the players in the PT
- crowdsource 90% accurate meta-reads by inviting every scummer that can soul-read every player
- break the game open with a good setup speccer
- crowdsource paraphrased cases and pushes on people by copy pasting and swapping out words and phrases
that said the game was kind of a stomp for town so there was really never any pressure for the hydra heads to do shit- northsidegal

omg, that is so perfect!!!In post 1449, pinturicchio wrote:I had this meme made in case I got lynched/killed
Thank you NSG and Dino, it was a great flavor and a great experience!
mathdino thought so when we were balancing the setup (he actually thought it was the most powerful town role), i kind of disagreed. i think it's as useful as the person using it makes it, and really has an upper limit of usefulness of, at best, conftowning yourself and just having good reads. as real massive hydras have shown, having tons of eyes to look at something doesn't necessarily mean that you always get crystal clear excellent reads. while thereIn post 1452, WhemeStar wrote:Isn’t the eldritch role op??werepeople in the hydra with really good reads, there was also a ton of distraction and people who disagreed.- WhemeStar

So, I was reading the Eldritch thread and found this which was posted before I died.
I fake claimed that my role checks if they perform a kill (obviously to bait a vig fake claim), so GG on figuring out I was actually a tracker.I mostly just lurk now.- TheFuzzylogic99

The survivor is generally +scum EV. If you can manage to get to LyLo with survivor still alive, surv can immediately win with scum -- it would almost be playing against wincon NOT to (as scum can just threaten to kill them if they don't play along).
The traitor was of course traitorised to bump scum down a bit. I think the lack of associations might've actually helped a lot with a more active bussy traitor with a better fakeclaim.
My opinion on EldritchAbomination does lead me to call this slightly townsided, which I think would've been rectified by coming up with believable fakeclaims for scum, but Eldritch turned out to not be as +town EV as I even expected. The vast majority of the roles are (by design) centred around dayplay more than nightplay -- town gets its information from talking and voting. Only two roles were confirmable, three if you add Eldritch+Creature. Which, against a scumteam + survivor, isn't THAT great.
So in this case I would say that perceived townsidedness was all in the form of one-two immediate scum lynches, and town earned that- WhemeStar

I don't think it was townsided. If town mislynched on D1 this game would've been so different. I was rooting for town because town was winning and the game would end earlier, increasing my chances to win, but with a mislynch on D1, I would've been rooting the scumteam. Also, what are the odds of the tracker catching the second scum on N1... The game was not townsided itself, it became townsided after D1 and N1.
@NSG, if you want to mod this game again with new picks, count me in!- TheGoldenParadox
