Mini Normal 2170: Stuff I’m Listening To [Game Over]

[Thestatusquo]

I want other opinions because I'm not great at balance, is the setup balanced without bulge's role? I'd like answers from anyone who is not the bulge or pooky.

[Thestatusquo]

Like my gut is still screaming its the bulge but even though I agree with some of pooky's argument something about the push in the last few pages feels really off from him.

[Blitzo]

This is also something I'm thinking about.
There's a ton of weird/weak town power but what would scum have here?

I'm actually terrible at setup resolution but I'd like to talk about it before moving forward as well.

[Thestatusquo]

Keep in mind also that I've got 4 hours of sleep in the last 48 because *gestures vaguely at everything*

[Thestatusquo]

What's your gut, blitzo?

What's your gut, blitzo?

I talked to Gamma overnight and decided that I was going to push you today.
Then Gamma did stuff that made me not so happy that is consistent with things that have been bothering me since the beginning of the game and I feel like I'm being led by the nose.

I think it's extremely likely that one of you/gamma is scum but I'm reading the terrain before I decide.

I also want to try to figure out this massclaim since this role distribution is sort of bonkers.

Basically I'm taking it slow and trying to see what's happening before I place my vote, since I think it's extremely unlikely I'm going to change my mind once I vote.

[Thestatusquo]

I meant what's your gut on the balance but that is all interesting as well.

[Thestatusquo]

Basically my thought process is kind of like this right now:

If bulge is town that would give me a town group of Blitzo, Kasumeat OutWorldER bulge me I think.

That would make the scum team gamma NM and Pooky.

That doesn't sound outrageous to me.

But I'm not convinced on bulge being scum, that would just be fucking wild to me considering his play the last 3 days.

So it hinges for me on what I think of the setup. If the setup is balanced with no additional town power I want to push bulge on the balance of his play. If I don't then I think I have a solve for this game in what I said above.

[Thestatusquo]

*not convinced on bulge being TOWN I mean, obviously. I still have not slept and I'm glued to the vote counting. :/

[Thestatusquo]

I fucking HATE trying to outguess the mod.

[Thestatusquo]

But my gut tells me that the setup isn't balanced without an additional town PR.

[Thestatusquo]

The more I think about that solve the more it makes sense to me too. :/

[Thestatusquo]

I'm gunna UNVOTE: so no one else can vote bulge and then have a scum pile on hammer happen.

[Not_Mafia]

I believe Bulge’s claim cos it has synergy with checker, you don’t put a checker in a set up without roles that can fail.

[Gamma Emerald]

Welcome to the club. Mind digging a little deeper?

[Not_Mafia]

I'm good for now

[Gamma Emerald]

I would prefer you try to do something if you’re town given you spent the entire game pushing the IC for the most part.

[Not_Mafia]

I have no regrets, he's a scummy slot with a scummy role

[Gamma Emerald]

Well I was TRing OWER early :/
And regardless of how you feel about that, you were wrong so you need to show you weren’t merely bullshitting in order for me to trust you

[Thestatusquo]

this definitely looks like scum theater to me.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

so every1 believes we had an IC, Neo, Checker who could be confirmed, neighbors and Jailkeeper too

[Not_Mafia]

Neapolitan gets worse the more PRs you add

[Not_Mafia]

Who says I’m trying to earn your trust

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yea im sure the mod was thinking hmm the town looks kinda powered up - let me nerf the neopolitian by adding another PR...
