I legitimately just don't pay attention to setups because I'm not a mechanical player. Solving games mechanically doesn't work for me. I need back and forths with people to game solve

You could reference how trash I was in the Liars Club tournament as proof of this, if you wanna do your research

Idk if you read that incorrectly or if I just didn't make myself clear

Mechanically solving the game (meaning in an open setup this person can mechanically deduce this from this and that simple based on the mathematical interpretation of optimal strats and how the mechanical operation of roles works)

Vs

Power clearing in which a cop role clears you via a check.

I don't do the first, but will gladly encourage someone to do the latter for me and make this game a cakewalk in terms of me having to prove my townieness.


On a side note: the mechanical solution of games is one of the reasons I prefer closed setups to open ones, as closed role games benefits players of my style

You might try saying a few things about what you think about other people’s posts. Do a good enough job and Powers can be used to find scum, a much better use than clearing.

I believe 3 v 10 is the standard for Normal games

I often, perhaps even usually, notice weird pushes that tend to be awkward as hell and/or based on really hard to follow logic.
See my ISO in HMS Erebus for some posts that try to explain it.
I have previously pointed it out in this thread that his posting seems different to me.


Kinda makes me want to look up some scum games. Scumlean for the moment.
Could you expand on how his posting is different?

In post 397, bristep123 wrote: Regarding Egix - I gave reasons for my read, and their speculation on Bambi was more reasonable than Volxen and DS's. Again, I have no read on Bambi and I've covered this before; I didn't vote for DS or Volxen on that first post because there was no context to weigh up what I had seen. Also -
I said on Reaper's read that I thought his vote removal was weird
, so hence I gave Egix credit for picking it up.
Do you scumread unvotes at the end of rvs as a general rule?
