Oh I agree, I'm actually more interested in your question of scumchat pre-game though, since without that then that changes the calculations. I doubt it matters who goes first, but meh, I doubt it matters so go for it, I won't argueIn post 17, Cerberus v666 wrote:I think that the marginal scum equity mentioned by TW makes the optimal claiming order begin with the selected leader for any given day.
Actually this is also important and this is ambiguous, could mean yes there's daychat and we know that, or just that scum know it.

Either we just crapshoot the reveal and rely on the fact that scum want to see that info before they post to determine scumminess or, we set an order and hope we get scum early to nail them on forcing them to be truthful in their votes.
I don't see why one is necessarily better than the other.
Meh to your "give reasons", I'll give my reasons (he's basically the only person I play with a reasonable amount and I'm confident I can read into his actions as leader), but it's not time sensitive like the actual person is.- Sando

My only thought outside of random was just saying no-one to claim anymore until everyone has posted and claimed to vote you (if they did). This means anyone who voted you and doesn't want us to know that can't know that they won't be caught out in a lie because the numbers on non-winner aren't known.In post 101, Frozen Angel wrote:should we ask the people who I think voted me first or the rest- Sando

Basically if scum coordinated a little bit then it's best to get your voters to post first. But if scum coordinated a shitload like you're suggesting, then it's best to just leave it random or force an order.
Hence I'm happy to not be making this decision- Sando

Thoughts on super-hero team mechanics all?
FA can choose up to EOD yeah?
Do we control it ourselves and tell FA who to do
Do we let FA do it as long as it's announced (pre/post overnight)
Do we let FA do it and not announce it
Should the heroes themselves announce their choice (assuming we decide to out who they are)
Should we tell the heroes what to choose
Should we get FA to tell the heroes what to choose (is this allowed? It would require out of game comms I think? So probably not?)- Sando

FA assuming you're town, do you think scum would have seen you as a big enough threat as leader to try and get someone else leader, town or scum? Do you think there's anyone in the player pool that scum might have wanted to NOT be leader?In post 226, Frozen Angel wrote:ok 3 people claimed they voted me That is way under than what I thought I had
either scum really didn't have a pregame chat - they decided to split vote and allow town to choose people - or they voted me cause they think they can control me
Regarding the picks, you can semi-hide and still force them if we want. FA can pick 5 people, so they can outline 5 groups of ~4 (I think there's 22 not including FA) and say they'll pick one person in each group, and they can even define the power they should pick.
FA can also potentially pick Impenetrable skin, assuming scum only have the one NK for now, should get her through N2 and allow us to hold off claiming powers an extra day.- Sando

Oh yeah, I'm assuming scum want FA dead N2 if she's still around (ie we haven't decided to lynch her) since she has ALL THE KNOWLEDGE. Not outing our PRs is great for town, but only until FA is dead...getting her through to D3 would be a nice compromise at least. I assume this structure will continue through the game, where scum want the leaders dead asap to mess with the PR knowledge for town.In post 354, hebichan wrote:this is also a good point. Though, it means they probably shoot someone else... which is fine either way.

FA has complete immunity tonight afaik, bulletproof is to protect N2 onwards.In post 357, hebichan wrote:BUT but but but but. We don't have to and shouldn't out them today if FA takes the nightkill stopping power.
We also should consider setting up a townie huddle of protection/investigation. We don't have docs or investigative yet, but we could tell everyone to take BP (it's not very useful on scum anyway I don't think) and start building a defensive cadre. Use future day powers to hopefully investigate into the cadre and then start piling powers onto the cleared people and protect them with docs etc.
Either that or we decide that spread out is best and we get try to stay ahead of scum NKs by spreading powers far and wide and rely on overwhelming them with uncounterable powers.- Sando

So the reason for BP was mostly that it's fairly benign and protective, so giving it to scum isn't a big deal, and scum are always going to do whatever they want and lie about it, so "but scum might lie" is the basis for any system we establish. We can also do something like establish 6 BPs, then somehow get investigate clears on say 3 of them and protect the hell out of them while piling powers onto them. One of those protections might be something like a redirect onto one of the other BPs. If they lied about it, well they're going to die, if they didn't lie then they're helping town with their power. The other advantage of BP is it takes effect straight away, making scums ability to kill PRs really hard...In post 362, Cerberus v666 wrote:@Sando: universal BP is probably safest, but the fact that it exists does imply some degree of ease at bypassing it. The redirection is better as universal protection(or whatever you call it when you make actions that target you go elsewhere), but ONLY if the people using it only target consensus scum and/or lynchbait lurker types+we don't grab investigatives going forward. Sakura is correct that we have no way to test for someone taking BP, so any sort of plan we'd make with powers would have to assume that scum will not be following orders.
If we wanted to make this START as a functionally vanilla game, if we lynch town today everyone could pick the medium power, use that on the lynchee, and that would create a network of pts with a town center that would confirm everyone picked and used that power. That play sets up for some potentially very strong plays in the future, with repeated hero teams able to use that pt network to privately coordinate power selection, but it's dependent on the trust the dead slot has for the people it's communicating with, as well as the leaders ability to select a town group. There's also vulnerability to scum roleblocking used as a framing tool, but that would largely be a crapshoot.
I think the medium line has the greatest potential upside if executed perfectly, but is probably impractical.
That said, as I mentioned, the other option I see is to just spread our powers as widely and thinly as possible so scum can't keep up with killing all the heroes, safety in numbers. That way we're basically putting huge amounts of data out there for us to sift through, sure some of it will be lies, but it's gonna be damn hard for scum to keep the lies straight, probably...
I was reading as one kill per night, I think you're probably right though from what's been posted since then, making the BP plan not so great.In post 387, 123456789 wrote:The bulletproof only protects from one kill?- Sando

I was figuring that with 1 scumfaction and 23 people there'd be more than 1 NK possibility, especially as the leader is the only known quantity to scum and immune to them. I'm really just saying that I very much doubt the BP is protection against a determined scumfaction.In post 465, Gamma Emerald wrote:

1: Why are you thinking scum would ever have multiple factional kills as a standard thing?
2: Why do you seem to believe there's 5 scum (you jump from 4 to all)?
Isn't the setup 5 scum? I was just doing the fairly common "1,2,3...lots!" type of linguistic post. Beyond the ability to get through some BPs I haven't got much more theories on what they might have. My guess is they have a few 1-shot extra kills, or 1-shot strongmen etc. But having extra kills seems more likely than strongmen to me, given BP status and numbers of players.
Oh that poor poor dead person, this will create 6 one-on-one conversations for that dead person won't it, not a single 6-7 person "medium thread"? Also basically means we'd have to lynch town today since you'd need to be confident that the dead person is relaying messages correctly.In post 578, Cerberus v666 wrote: I think the strongest long term option is probably the 6x medium for the coordination it will offer

So my current TRs are FA, duckling and Sakura (who doesn't pick a mechanical fight with me as scum imo). I normally build a "Town list", a "not to be lynched today list", a "yeah ok you can lynch them list" and a "scum list". That said, are we coordinating the next leader openly? Cause while I think we should obviously go for as townie as possible in our leader list, there's some townies that I don't feel completely comfortable picking as leader (although still better choices than anyone not in townie list).
Scum have daychat correct? Otherwise I'd say as a means of coded messages.In post 769, 123456789 wrote:How exactly is it scum-motivated? Or rather, why are you jumping the gun here?

I think we either force everyone to vote inside, or force anyone voting outside of it who scumreads both to vote something like the person after them in the player list. That way we know we cannot end up with more than a single vote on someone not nominated without scum interference.In post 809, zMuffinMan wrote:just force people to vote in those two names and claim it before the day ends so there's a roughly even split (e.g. 10ish people on each name), but this can be kinda iffy if theyre not both universal town reads (and i don't think i've seen someone that's actually a universal town read yet)- Sando

If you want to insist that any theorising is scummy...you're gonna have a bad time. This is a complex game, people gonna theorise yo.

Actively Null. I think the posts gut-strike me as town, but I'm not all that happy about content of some posts. Whilst I like the idea of recording things like leader-votes vs wagons, I think it's too early to actually glean anything from it, especially at those numbers. I also can't see how she's come to the conclusion that scum helped FA without thinking they lied about the votes. FA seems to have "won" by 1 vote at 4 votes. That's a small margin and exactly the number of scum. Either all-scum voted FA and no-one else, or they threw one or two votes on her to try and tip the scales (well judged if so scum) without blowing it out, or they all voted FA and are lying about it. If scum did want FA as leader then my guess is the last as that's the most logical, in which case this should prompt investigation of the vote-claim order.In post 1122, Toranaga wrote:do you have a read on titus?- Sando

Is this referring to me?In post 1131, Cerberus v666 wrote:There are 5 scum per the opening posts of this game.
I like 129, that's almost as good as ASDPI(Which I'll keep referring to you as, so long as you keep spamming the thread with single quote post replies).
You can't vote for yourself as leader per rules post, so assuming scum coordinated onto one other scum, the max votes they can put on someone is 4.- Sando

Maybe, my 4 was merely an indicator that that's the max scum-votes they can put on scum, and it's how many FA seems to have gotten.In post 1133, Cerberus v666 wrote:Oh. I took Titus' post as being more concerned with the scum team selecting someone who *isn't* on their team.
But assuming scum coordinated (I assume they coordinated in some degree) they:
Conspired to ensure their votes were split
Conspired to elect someone they wanted to elect
If they conspired to split their votes then I don't see us getting any out of it today, so I'm assuming Titus is looking at conspiring to elect someone (town or scum). If they conspired to elect, they either put 1-2 people on a popular person, figuring that'd push them over the edge, or they piled on figuring they could lie about it today.
If they're lying (which seems a reasonable bet if you think they conspired to get FA elected, regardless of her alignment) then the biggest tell for that is going to be when they declared. Doubt they wanted us to KNOW they were lying, so they likely wanted FA to appear as having the most votes, without giving away everyone that voted her. So they needed to know 2nd places number of votes and the number of town votes on FA before knowing how much they needed to prop it up.
Basically, of the people that declared for FA, the most likely ones to be scum are the late declarers.
Titus has started the speculation but not actually dug into it, which I don't like.- Sando

I'm fairly confident scum coordinated, but everyone seems to assume that means they coordinated to elect FA. I just think they coordinated to only vote one person each and minimise the risk, however small, that we nail em with it.In post 1139, Shiro wrote:I am pretty sure leader votes were popularity thing since the start of the game.
It's Titus' seeming confidence that they coordinated to elect FAandthen not taking that to its logical conclusion that has me worried.- Sando

Again, I'm not saying that scum did X or Y, or saying that anyone assuming scum did X or Y is scummy.In post 1145, Shiro wrote:I think they just said for the first day vote naturally as if you were town.
They already have a chance of getting powers without having to worry about being found out, plus look how paranoid it made some people. By doing nothing other than acting naturally they only win.
Thing is by voting on likeness they also raise their chance of being picked because if someone likes you more your chances of being picked are better imo
Sooo
What I'm saying is that Titus seems to assume scum coordinated to elect FA and then does not follow that assumption through to it's logical conclusion.
It's the not following through that I find scummy/worrying, not the underlying assumption.- Sando

Wat?In post 1202, Titus wrote:
FA has no accountability D1. If I try to find who might be scum buddying FA, I get voted by all those who selected FA as leader. Thus negating my ability to find who it is. I get voted for being "incompetent" for trying to find a solution to scum possibily buddying FA.In post 1201, Ankamius wrote:
I don't understand what you're even trying to argue hereIn post 1199, Titus wrote:
But that leaves us where day 1?In post 1197, Ankamius wrote:She won't be leader day two.
Same predicament. I try to sort my theory. Get jumped. Try to create ideas that remove scum advantage. Get jumped. Like I get disagreeing with mh random theory and wanting to sort me but at least sort me and try to bring something better than out the PRs d2. It does nothing to solve d1.
The forcing FA to claim day 2 does nothing for Day 1. Scum already likely get their hooks in.
So what's your idea to stop FA from giving PRs to scum that are charismatic?
I think it's likely numbers because of the major pushback there.
UFO is just basically being UFO. Cerb was second place according to claimed votes, so he's probably buddied. That leaves numbers.
Why do you need something for D1? For starters, this is the best chance for us to scumhunt, afaik we can't string up a town PR since they don't exist yet, and you could string up a scum PR since they might exist. That's great for town! Only scum should be scared of D1 lynches.
Scum!FA giving scum powers is going to have to justify that in the coming days, for example, giving it to you when you're being reasonably widely scumread and not really townread...if you turn out to be scum then FA is on the chopping block.
Town!FA is just as motivated as anyone else to give it to townie, making it open firstly gives scum a say that they otherwise wouldn't, and narrows down the scum-kill to guaranteed PRs.
FA claiming D2 is flat out better than D1, D3 would be nice if we think we can get that far, we'll see.- Sando

Ank why is Tora townier than me? Like in what world is buddying up to me an indication that I'm scum? Also why is no-one asking Tora whether he lock-clears me? He's quoted a few readlists that have me as weaktown to weakscum and never questioned those reads, but "with reservations" got a question. Surely in a world where I lock-clear Tora for agreeing with him, he lock-clears me too.

Get someone to vote you for stupid reasons, works for me.In post 2063, the worst wrote:If you work it out lmk Mylo
Nos seems keen on that sort of thing, see if he'll help you out.
Titus is still talking about mechanics in a particularly bad and self serving manner, so that's D3 lynch sorted.
I'm second last or something in the list for vote-claim yeah?
I'm not sure I see a decent situation where scum manipulate the vote to give it to Titus, is a D3 mislynch really worth giving the choice to town? Only thing it makes me think is FA and Titus are not the same faction, scum don't give townie a second nights power-choice just for the chance of a D3 mislynch. Regardless of how scummy you think Titus is, you can assume she'll act in towns interests overnight if she's town. If FA is scum, maybe they throw it to a townie.
I can see scum voting Cerb and killing him, gives them plausible deniability and leaves the leader vote falling somewhat randomly. Decent plan for scum, but I can't see town voting Titus up, even with Cerb dead, but let's see the vote claims.
I really don't see how Titus gets leader without scum influence (beyond the Cerb kill).
I also think the single kill overnight when BP was an option says those complaining about speculation yesterday should be treated with significant suspicion. Leaving our leader choice open to scum NKs is opening the door to fuckery, but with BP on the table and seemingly confirmed single-kill, it was a good option for us to have declared our vote target(s) last night. Only scum knew that though.- Sando

Basically anything not involving scum voting Titus pretty obviously relies on town voting her, and that's really what I can't see, (enough of) town doing that. There is another option, but it's super slim and vote-claims will confirm/deny it.- Sando
