r.e. the choices, i think 1 is probably the red herring

What do you mean by red herring?

red herring was the wrong turn of phrase. i meant the pick that is worse than it seems out of the three.

[Randomnamechange]

But real talk:

1)

Double lynch option sounds good only if there's some form of near-conf that we have caught scum.

2)

I like the idea of learning more about the setup, since this is role madness.

3)

If I'm reading this correctly; I'd love to see Mafia shit themselves.

I'm undecided, but I'm liking 3 off initial first impressions.

there is a decent chance scum were aware of these options ahead of time in which case the probably know what they are losing already. i agree it is def a good option, but depending on what 2 is it could be rly useful as well.

[Randomnamechange]

Oh shit I didn't even notice we had choices to make, gimme a sec

...

k, thoughts on choices:
1) Double lynch D1 seems like a trap, if we're confident we can chain 2 scum D1 then by all means let's fuckin go for it but I don't think this is something we necessarily want at this point in time (although it does give us functionally 2 "days" to find scum without them having a chance to act unless their roles have some really weird day-phase interactions, so... ehhhhh? I think this is the sort of thing I want to get 10+ pages into the day and get a feel for the crowd before I reasonably evaluate it)

2) Knowledge is power is a mantra that gets repeated a lot (in more or less or different words) in Mafia, and this is definitely knowledge of a sort. This seems like the conservative pick but depends entirely on what information we actually get, which will probably be limited enough to stop us *air-quote* "breaking the format"

3) The power level of this varies wildly - I'm gonna try and explain this the only way I know how, with Magic The Gathering. There are cards in Magic referred to as "punisher" mechanics wherein they give your opponent 2 choices (in this case much more than 2 choices presumably) that in theory are both really fucking bad for them but in practice they just choose whichever choice does the least damage to them in terms of resources/lifetotal/board state/etc, and that's what this choice feels like - I'm not sure in strict terms of game theory this is actually that good a pick because it basically reads "scum pick the 2 abilities that are least useful and continue to not use them just like they were gonna anyway"

tl;dr right now I think Choice 2 is the safe pick (not

great

for us, but probably doesn't do anything for the scum either), Choice 3 probably has the lowest ceiling in terms of how much it will hamper scum and is probably not great (IMO), and Choice 1 is something we can't yea or nay until people have started posting in significant numbers (highest ceiling but the lowest floor IMO); and therefore we shouldn't make any calls yet. None of these are going to be as good as the initial read suggests.

i rly agree with the highest ceiling/lowest floor comment on option 1.

@mod how long do we have to make this choice?

[Randomnamechange]

Another thing about choice 3 is that if scum have day powers they'll have used them by the time we choose

that's a shout

[Randomnamechange]

Son, I voted Choice 1 because I like lynching scum.

Regarding disappearing people, I think Taly picked Beeboy and dragged him into a PT.

I was questioning on whether

Beeboy

or

Creature

becomes the object of my early hard-defense.

But I think my choice is close to being made.

I don't know why you would save a miller claim from a lynch though.

agree with this post.

i honestly think that option 1 and 3 are the obvious good ones, but 2 could have something lowkey good in it. i rly dont know which to go for rn
VOTE: srceenplay

[Randomnamechange]

basically he came in seeing people talk about the vote, tried to act nonchalant about it, then came up with a deviant position to try and show himself contributing original thought to the topic. could be genuine, could be faked.

[Randomnamechange]

So yeah I feel like the only chance for Taly-scum is that he's scum together with beeboy.

only useful post on this page

[Randomnamechange]

also screen airing me is either shit play or scummy js

What did I do?

ignore my push on you.

okay, im here guys. i will try in this game because it's maki's game and she will choke me if i dont. so what do we think of the disappearances?

not rly sure what to think atm ngl need to find the exact source of it first.

i'm on keychain's side of them vs purrcocet. purr has been rly week so far and the only reason i'm not voting them is that i want to wagon srceen rn

[Randomnamechange]

there is a serious differnece between thinking a wagon is a bad thing and thinking we shouldnt be wagonning srceen. is anyone opposed to wagonning screen but would support a wagon on someone else?

[Randomnamechange]

srceen is flailing rly hard rn

[Randomnamechange]

I still think srceen is the right post. The case on komichi was decent which makes me think gif is town. Creature is badposting but idk if its scumposting
