I haven't played enough recently to be particularly certain, but it's pretty rare day one, IIRC. Usually you'll have to look at the way people are saying things - scum seem a bit less likely to slip at surface level in longer days, IMO.In post 25, minhyukwithagun wrote:Out of curiosity, how often do town correctly identify mafia here? It seems like 12 days is counterproductive because it gives mafia more time to blend in or cover their tracks, versus something high pressure like 30 seconds.-

How often? Fairly regularly, though I think scum tend to win mountainous (no Power-role) setups more often on-site.In post 25, minhyukwithagun wrote:Out of curiosity, how often do town correctly identify mafia here?

Yeah, you do lose some immediacy but you gain a lot more from having a wider breadth of content to take in and more time to engage players and positions.
Basically applying pressure and checking player consistency across several posts is what tends to net scum.
You usually still get higher pressure situations when deadlines draw near.
A lot of people have trouble blending in for months at a time as scum, y'know. It can be a hard act to keep up.-

if you don't mind my asking, what's your mafia experience?In post 25, minhyukwithagun wrote:Out of curiosity, how often do town correctly identify mafia here?

idk the exact stats but town do a pretty decent job finding scum imo; not always on day1 but holistically as the game progresses. iirc there's been some discussion about the link between longer deadlines and scum winrates; some people believe pretty strongly that they actively harm town winrates, i think at least in part beacuse it gives scum the ability to induce and weaponize apathy
i personally like the long deadlines quite a lot actually; i like the time to debate and to give myself time to mull things over and i don't like feeling rushed, and i think that playing scum for weeks (if not months) on end is fairly exhausting, having to try to maintain the right perspective and progression for that long

skitter's opinion on it is pretty close to mine so i won't repeat.
and the thing about having more time to cover one's tracks is you also have more time to leave accidental tells."Sibling," Farkran asked, starting slowly.
"The CORE is full of lasers, and Chemist1422's entire existence depends on her eye. If she looks into a laser, she will almost certainly die. Did you think about that?"

My brain wants to process this as a question, but there is no question mark at the end, which leaves me to believe this is a statement.In post 37, implosion wrote:It is, isn't it!
Would you like to explain why you are making statements (which are far more in opposition of open discussion than asking questions)?-

No. I don't think I've been serious yet. Just enjoying RVS while we're here.In post 39, implosion wrote:"open discussion" is a very nebulous thing; I don't see how making a statement is somehow in opposition to it.
Are you serious in calling Papa Zito my scumread?-
