Hi o/

Lcp

[Lefty]

Are you actually a LCpl lol

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

No, it's a reference to one of my favourite shows, dads army

Is there anything majorly different between road to rome and here, apart from players being more experienced? Like, anything commonly done in R2R not done here or vice versa? This is my first game outside it

Lcp

[Lefty]

I’m new to MS so I’m not the one to ask

[Irrelephant11]

Oh gosh welcome guys

Not much changes from R2R to here, except players are generally a lot more unpredictable/familiar with each other
This one is gonna be a challenge for me, because two of these players know me really well (tw & Keyser)

[Lefty]

That’ll be fun

Randing scum against your bros is always hard

[Lefty]

@ManateeDude - when you say the majority of the scum has to make it into Heaven, do you mean just two of us?

Ye, but that also means that for town to win only two need to be in hell

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Looks like we want to lynch scum on even days (heaven), while lynching town on odd days (hell). Since our aim changes between days that makes it pretty difficult

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Basically if town sees someone who is good at lynching scum but on even days that would be indicative of scum?

So the easiest way to win this would seem actually to appear to be town on even days (they will lynch us and send us to heaven) and odd says (they will not lynch us and not send us to hell)

Basically just the same as a regular game now that I think of it

OH GOD NO
WHY
WHY ME

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Ok, well, my scumplay is really weak.
I'm gonna try to mimic my townplay super hard.
If it backfires, sorry guys.

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

I kinda think Labrat could be an easy push today

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Starting to think that he's less of an easy push.
I'm trying to think who could be easy to push.

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Shit, I just realized that Creature is in the game.
We'd need to either stage a ML on him before he obv!towns or just give up on trying to ML him.

So far, it seems like Carmen, Volxen, tw are the easiest pushes to make.
I kinda don't wanna gun for a marytr end-game situation, however, that seems like it may be the best option considering who we have playing.

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

I'm gonna start to try to throw doubt on Creature before he obv!towns, hopefully to get a ML on him.
Also wanna try to create doubt on Lab.

-Kor

[Irrelephant11]

yeah I think we should focus on looking towny more than finding a specific mislynch
or at least that'll be my play I think
We *can* win by avoiding ever getting lynched (to either hell or heaven) and just putting someone with bad reads in heaven
There's lots of ways to play this

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Yea, that's why my plan this game to mimic my play in stack the deck (as Vex), and try to obv!town myself hardcore and then coast to endgame.
I think already I'm doing a decent job, which means that how to read me will be changing hardcore after this game.

I know where my weaknesses as scum fall, and I'll try to compensate for them, (if not, LCPL certainly can compensate).

I think still, apart from trying to obv!town, we need to try to force one or two mislynches so town can keep off of us. If not, try to create as much doubt and suspicion around players so we can just hide in the chaos.

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

I'm not really sure which one I'm leaning more towards.

I also second what Irrel said, only major difference is players knowing each other better and unpredictability of said players.
Really, the only player who could know my meta is Irrel, (because Stack The Deck), however, it'll be unreliable because I'm gonna try to hyper-mask my scum-meta. I also need to play more confidently as scum in general.

-Kor

[Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]

Actually, tw as well.

[Irrelephant11]

piece of advice to us all: try to play like you don't feel pressure to play well
town wins don't rely on each vt being perfect, so we should come across somewhat casual sometimes (i.e. no need to apologize for lack of activity, the game isn't on your shoulders, you're just a single townie, and sometimes it's okay to post things like "eh I still feel how I did before")
these casual moments are things scum are usually missing

[Irrelephant11]

also feel free to completely change your mind on a slot at a moment's notice
