This is truly the biggest mistake you could have made. You sent scum a "very basic setup that shouldn't be broken" that was actually broken. If 1 is Town the scumteam is {2,B,C,D} but 3 is voting A, which is impossible. Therefore 1 is confscum.
If you ever run this setup again, let me know. I would like to help with giving scum the recommendations.- Comparing Realities

I haven't even made a post yet, and already you solved it.In post 12, BTD6_maker wrote:Suppose Infinity were Town.
In this case, Wingback, CR, and enomis are all scum for voting Infinity. In addition, Infinity is voting Creature so Creature is scum.
Hence Infinity being Town implies {CR, Creature, Enomis, Wingback} scum.
However, Farside22 (Town) is voting DLA (Town). This is impossible.
Hence,Infinity is confscum.
Your lies are no match for a Townie armed with logical analysis.
VOTE: Infinity
I have solved this already.
Just to be sure, I'm in the process of checking if you actually did.I have little hope for democracy as an effective means of government, but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their own destruction.- Comparing Realities

Hmmm for some reason this one got changed from the prior one:
Scum 1: A, B, C
Scum 2: D, E, 1
Scum 3:
Scum 4:
Town A: 2, 3, 4
Town B:
Town C:
Town D:
Town E:
I must have come across a different version in my notes when I posted it.
Anyway, i won't run this setup for a while until I've established a few aren't broken. I think it's better for me to provide a few options for scum to pick from rather than give them discretion anyway.- BTD6_maker

You will need more setups in the list. If scum pick a "BTD-approved" setup currently, AAAA11122 and AA4344433 are bad (Town can lynch whoever has 3 votes). AA4341344 is also bad (lynch whoever has 4 votes).
This is not a complete broken as scum may have picked a setup that was not on my list, plus there is a lot of WIFOM potential here. This is why going by raw probabilities is often not helpful.
However, in both remaining BTD-approved setups, scum have a 1 in 3 chance of winning. I am not sure if it is possible to get better or if it is even meaningful (due to WIFOM).- BTD6_maker

Looking at the first example, we have that if 1 is town, then 4, B, C, D are the scum. But 2 and 3 are claiming a guilty on A for some reason. So something's clearly gone wrong at some point in the process.
Sorry for accidentally ruining your game with a PM I sent in 2012. I can confirm that there's no typo in the example from what I sent, so something must have gone wrong at my end, either with the searching program or with the way I translated the results for the thread.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- callforjudgement

My current guess as to what happened is that the algorithm is right but it made mistakes in the output code, giving players the wrong names. (The presence of any illegal setups should have been a huge red flag that something was wrong.)

Actually, I just found my original notes in the program.
It produced its output in a different format, and it's possible I made mistakes translating it into the one seen here. It looks like it also only identified candidates for non-brokenness that I had to filter by hand. Now I'm intrigued to see if I can make a more automated version to remove the possibility of human error (especially as the format it was using was fairly unintuitive).scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- callforjudgement

I just ran the program again and used a more automated way to produce the output.@BTD6_maker: care to check the following setups for me?
Code: Select all
1234ABCDE ========= AAA324433 ABBB11441 ABB114441 AA4324433 ABBB14441 ABCB14331 ABCC12421 AAA344433 AA4344433 AAA334433 AAAA44433 ABCC12421 ABCB12331 ABCC12221 ABBB14331 ABB113441 AA4A34433
If there are any problems here, there's something wrong with the program.
Otherwise, I guess 2012-me was either overconfident or having a bad day.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- BTD6_maker

None of these are broken. Be careful, though, as I saw ABCC12421 twice.In post 65, callforjudgement wrote:I just ran the program again and used a more automated way to produce the output.@BTD6_maker: care to check the following setups for me?

OK. So it seems that back in 2012 I tried to change the numbers round manually to use 1s and 2s in preference to 3s and 4s and screwed up.
I guess if we agree that this list is unbroken, it's the one we can use in the future (with duplicates removed). It wouldn't surprise me if many of the list entries were conceptually identical and the program didn't notice.scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- BTD6_maker
