Heroes Wanted! (Game Over)

[Nancy Drew 39]

There's a power of detonation coming up tmrw which can be used during the day and kills both the user and the target. I'm suggesting tomorrow's leader gives it to the townier half of the lynchpool (everyone outside the townblock ) and they use it on the lower half to nuke the fuck out of the entire lynchpool!

that way BAM we instantly know how many deepwolved have infiltrated the townblock. Worst case scenario I think it comes down to 9v3 or 7v3 or something which is still easily winnable.


pedit: correct
Problem?

So, you’re suggesting tomorrow’s leader pick the least scummier or more likely to be townier half of the lynchpool rather than the townblock? How do you know that this doesn’t contain 1 or more of the scumteam? The correct role of leader is to choose people for superheroes that they, in their best estimation, think are highly likely to be town.

Hebi I love you omg

also yeah same I skip like 10 pages at a time every time I wake up and I'm 99% sure I'm missing nothing

In a short sighted fashion I agree (I'm the antihero of this game--need an antihero name--I'll think about it).

Tell me in detail what you think the worst case scenario is if the leader goes full derp with reads and picks:
- 1 scum and 2 town
- 2 scum and 1 town
- all 3 scum

[Nancy Drew 39]

agreed Sakura but if even one scumfuck takes petrify instead of detonate, you still have enough lynches to blast them to pieces.

How would you determine who took what? Why can’t said “scumfuck” say take petrify and not use it on that particular night? Have you thought of that?

[hebichan]

FYI creature, I don't think everyone who scumreads me votes me is scum. Just you and the recently deceased Titus.

@tw, @gamma where are all of your town stances right now?

because for as much as you guys are complaining about my town stances, i have taken 9 as of this day phase and last that apply right now:
locktown: fa
near locktown: sando, sakura hana, mathblade
heavy duty town: toranaga
heavy townlean: drixx, nancydrew39
likely town: nosferatu, theta alpine —> both of these derived from a quick vca lookover.

so if you think i’m not taking enough stances, then help me out here sorting the other players!

Not sure rn and don't care to configure it rn, remind me tomorrow
but I don't really have a problem with the townblock

yes

Yes, I guess the odds of the leader hitting scum with your plan are way more likely than if they stick to consensus-read obvtown.

also @hebi sorry for the grits SEO shout out by name, I kinda get what you did but it was one of the more surprising and funny moments of the game so it's stuck with me

why do you think this is a problem?

[Sakura Hana]

Ok, im starting to get it.
Plan is if scum gets power they either get suicide bomb and use it (and die) or dont (and get lynched), and if scum didnt get power nor is in the lynchpool we accelerate 3 game days of 6 questionable ppl dying (hopefully 1-3 scum dying amongst them) instead of 1 questionable player and 1 obvtown.

Did i get that right?

[stungun0404]

the one thing that concerns me @tw, about your gameplay is it does not seem like you are focused on scumhunting on your own terms :p

you have sheeped a lot of reads, but you have not taken many groundbreaking stances yourself on players being scum to my memory. so that’s probably what’s giving me a slimy feeling

my gut wants to say gamma emerald is town... i’m not getting that same feeling with tw

That’s the idea but instead of giving it to scum who are asking we give it to obvTown still in the lynchpool like Sando and Creature and they hit the scummiest thus minimizing risk of Petrification

yes

So anyone who doesn’t not only chooses detonate but also doesn’t use it/ Anyone not in the town block who doesn’t self-detonate gets lynched?

[the worst]

yeah nailed it.

the worst case scenario realistically? is that we target 1-2 scum and they petrify a couple of obvtown players. we then use two lynches to get rid of them which puts us down to like 7v1 or something like that. every scum in the lynchpool is 33.3% of the scumteam's manpower so let's find out how solid the townblock is.


pedit: Math is also right yup
pesit2: absolutely right, nd39

[MathBlade]

We just compile a list and force the more Townie players to denotate on the target we assign them. No deviation allowed.

Well for one thing, you can only have one lynch per day. Why couldn’t scum drag this out into a victory?

[the worst]

how could they do that? we're in like 15v3 we have way more than 3 lynche

[the worst]

even if say 3 scum get picked for powers and stall and let's say the rest of the plan ends up nuking 6 townies

we're in 9v3 and lynch to victory!

bad math though, you are off 1


we currently have 17 players = 14 vs. 3; so it would be 8 vs. 3 and this is discounting any scum flips before then.

[stungun0404]

but i’m kinda pro the suicide bomb plan. if nothing else, i think it will make the game very interesting very fast

[the worst]

@stung I think it's been well established I'm the ideas antihero here, my attention span has long since been used up but yes you're right, I was one number off. point still stands!

[the worst]

it will make the game very interesting very fast

ngl killing the stagnantness is half of the agenda here :3

[Sakura Hana]

We still need to wait until tomorrow since we dont know how the gamestate will be by then.
