Shot in the Dark [GAME OVER]

[Firebringer]

I am not allowed to be on a winning team for marathon.

[Sakura Hana]

I just sux at marathon games in general i guess.

[Wisdom]

i mean it was obvious the scum was in the replacements given the night duration

I thought it was obvious too, I was like "Cant be Wisdom"

[Sakura Hana]

There was an important point tho, lynching scum D1 does seem to decrease town's chances of winning as it becomes mountainous which benefits scum.

nah. a good mod needs to let the night last extra or otherwise the replacements become "clear"

[inspectorscout]

Sakura you won anyway xd
PS: this was my first time scum ever lmao

[Creature]

The best strategy would be scumclaim D1 lol

[xyzzy]

a bit of analysis: mafia self-hammering day 1 definitely feels like a breaking strategy here; 1:6 mountainous technically has a lower EV for scum with completely random choices by a very thin margin, but since choices aren't random, it's probably worse for town.

[inspectorscout]

Yes, if one scum hardbusses the other D1 and gets towncred for it its easy for scum
Or juwt joins ''meh ok i guess''

Yeah but i like scum perfect wins =X
Hard to win as scum if im scumread anyways when i can barely keep up with what ppl are doing and i was trying to figure out the best way possible to "catch scum" with the game mechanics and apparently that got me scumread for some reason

[xyzzy]

does anyone have any thoughts on the following amendment to the rules:

the day 1 lynch's alignment isn't revealed until day 2, and townies are able to submit lists night 1 that include the day 1 lynch.

[inspectorscout]

@mod thanks for hosting (you can release maf pt, not that its interesting)

[Creature]

imo the setup should be 7:2 and town should only be able to submit guesses Night 1.

[inspectorscout]

Yes that would work better
Would obligated nolynch D1 work too?

next game

[Gorkington]

thanks for quickhammering me

[Gorkington]

[Wisdom]

anytime

[implosion]

it's definitely an interesting setup xyzzy. I agree that there needs to just be some kind of extra incentive to lynch scum d1 - the first thought i had was that if scum is lynched d1, then on n1 only, town can submit who they think the scumpartner is, and if at least two non-NKed townies submit the name of the scum then town win.

[Transcend]

I had a solid 2/3 on d1. Then scout fear killed me.

[Wisdom]

It crossed my mind that the Transcend kill pointed to scout but meh

[Transcend]

Gork was towny too. No worries, just a marathon game.

it's definitely an interesting setup xyzzy. I agree that there needs to just be some kind of extra incentive to lynch scum d1 - the first thought i had was that if scum is lynched d1, then on n1 only, town can submit who they think the scumpartner is, and if at least two non-NKed townies submit the name of the scum then town win.

this seems to be a really good variant; I might run another iteration of this later on today if there's interest with this change.
