SHEEPABLE READS/NIGHT ACTIONS
DO WHAT TOWN-DINO WOULD DO OR I'LL HAUNT YOU
Blocs:
Okay so we have a few different blocs going on.
1. The gamesolvers who will get nightkilled (in descending order of nightkill probability):
the worst, Mathdino, SIMYK, Eddie Cane.
2. The highly likely townies that will never get nightkilled and will probably not solve the game:
davesaz, Taly, mutantdevle
3. The scum high on the draft that we're too chicken to lynch today:
Iconeum, Lalendra, Ircher
4. The lynchbaity cannon fodder:
The Janitor, Myloninja, Ausuka, Lovebird
Remember,
if you make it to LyLo and are town, scum expects you to lose the game for town.
Don't be a dumb shit in LyLo. Read the game.
This is a townsided setup that towns keep losing because towns are dumb shits.
Remember that if Group 1 fails to deliver scum's heads on silver platters to you AND manages to live to LyLo, there is scum in Group 1. Even though I'm townreading them right now. Do What Mathdino Would Do, don't Do What D1 Mathdino Is Doing.
Everyone in Group 3 gets lynched or mechanically town-cleared this game. No exceptions. I don't care how much you like power roles. They're not all town. They will also not get nightkilled, because scum kills good players, not lynchbaity TPRs.
Reads:
- There is never not scum in {Iconeum, The Janitor, Ircher, SIMYK}.
- mutantdevle is always town if Eddie Cane is town. You could also sheep him on SIMYK.
- I have a secret towntell on Taly. He's town.
- Metadive davesaz before wagoning him later on. He gets scummier the more you wagon him, hilariously. He's probably town but feel free to recheck if he scumclaims by play down the line.
-
the worst is in charge of Doing What Mathdino Would Do after I die. Eddie Cane is in charge of reads generation.
This also means the worst is in charge of sheeping Eddie Cane when appropriate.
Setup/Night Actions Advice:
Massclaiming:
- Massclaim on D3 or D4. Do not be averse to massclaim. Either have a conftown decide the order (realistically this might end up being mutantdevle) or do it from the top down.
- If a kill is ever stopped, massclaim starting from "people who know they were roleblocked" to "Doctors, Roleblockers, and Jailkeepers".
- If there are like 3 or 4 conftown, massclaim the unconfirmeds.
- If you confirm a major suspect as town, might as well massclaim to reevaluate the gamestate.
- Honestly you can probably massclaim when someone gets a guilty on the second mafia. Massclaiming is pro.
Specific roles:
-
Cops
need to check in the following:
Eddie Cane (town Eddie townfirms a few slots by reads alone)
Ircher (supposedly useful in lategame)
The Janitor (high info)
Do NOT check {Lalendra, Mylo, Ausuka, Lovebird}. I'd recommend the worst/SIMYK but they get sorted by the NK.
-
Doctors
, stick to the upper half of the draft. The only decent nightkills in 1-7 are {the worst, Mathdino, SIMYK}.
-
Jailkeepers
, play defencively (don't hero the scum nightkill please) and stick to the lower half. Decent nightkills are {Taly, mutantdevle, Eddie Cane}.
- It's okay to collectively request Doc/JK protection. By doing so, you force scum to make suboptimal nightkill choices if they want to dodge the PRs.
-
Lynch the following on sight unless supertownish
: Vengeful, 1-shot PGO, 1-shot Redirector, 1-shot Commuter (if the original player rarely gets NK'd), Roleblocker, Neighborizer (useless after claiming, higher EV for scum than town). It is +EV to lynch all of these, trust me.
-
Vigs/venges
, shoot in the lynchbaity bloc (Group 4).
-
Trackers
, remember that scum can't action and nightkill on the same night. Do what you will with this.
-
REMEMBER THAT PRs ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SCUM, ESPECIALLY FURTHER DOWN THE DRAFT
. Scum had knowledge of what their buddies picked!
