i don't have any idea of how to play the setup really, or if there's some specific strategy for this setup that would cause it to be played any way different than a regular one.
i lean town on fua.
this may sound like some kind of attack or affront or something given that i'm saying it to you (it's not meant to be), but i wonder if it would be best for town / for overall game health if the top posters were to sit back for a while. there are still people who haven't posted and it's always daunting to arrive to there already being like ten pages, and in general it might help get reads on some of the lower frequency posters. like i said, that isn't a recommendation – it's actually just me wondering, perhaps the distribution of posting is the reason why nobody seems to have any serious reads. or maybe it's just because we've somehow gotten onto really non-revealing conversation topics, who knows.
I'm not an open setup aficionado, but I feel like this one doesn't lend itself to overly mechanics-focused play. We joined because catboi mentioned it was close to being pulled, and we like the player list.

Your point is decent, though in some of our recent games towns have been able to link up and overwhelm scum teams precisely because of early high activity.

I mean, it's really not that difficult to claim in this setup is it? Doc and cop are guaranteed, and the nights are randomized instead of sequential.

Getting some big TOWNVIBES from this post. That means Amazonian is confscum! Trust me on this one, I have never made a single incorrect read in my life.

VOTE: Amazonian Legends

... for real though, I need to finish reading through the first 7 pages. Give me a moment.

Oh also I think I just remembered we did play together in the olden days. Actually I'm fairly sure we were scum together once.

kkkkkk

come on it was a joke! I know I'm not funny but I try okay? it should count towards something...

But oh well, I've been relatively often told I'm kinda too self-aware at times (and I agree with the assessment?), so if you scum read that behavior I guess it's only natural/unavoidable you'll suspect me a bit at the start. I'm

self-aware that is rather rare for me to not be obvtown by D3 or so when I'm town though, so you'll see the light at some point and for now I'm gonna turn a blind eye to your impressions of me.

Hmm, as far as I know/could think of the standard play here is probably "cops claim result after the night they acted upon" and "doctors claim result if there's a no kill on a given night".

I tried to think about something more...
FUN
, and I kinda had a silly idea, but I felt a bit too self-conscious in this playerlist to open the game with it. Well either way that's as far as I know for town, for scum I can imagine multiple fun gambits to do...

hmm...yeah I've been kinda thinking I should have stopped posting for a bit it's been at least 10 posts or so, sorry. I feel it's possible to get out of this content limbo even without stopping the hyperposting but the easiest and perhaps more optimal way is to just wait other slots to check the game. Time to go eat, do the new event or something I guess.

NSG and both halves of morph are mechanics nerds, you will find safe haven for that sort of topic should you change your mind.

... it kinda seems like nothing has really happened yet. Just a lot of hydra discussion, admittedly I'm unfamiliar with the concept of hydra myself.

Oh hell yeah, page 8 wagon on me? Let's do it.

To be honest I don't really feel like we have much game content to analyze at the moment, so hopefully that'll change as more people join the thread. At the very least I haven't really picked up anything significant (except for my very serious vote on Amazonian, as one of the hydras is guaranteed to be evil).

nothing from pages 4-6?

like whether or not the vote was silly on amazonian there has been a little speaking of the slot that isn't related to their status as hydra, so just... no thoughts?

Genuinely, no not really. I wish I had the power to generate a semi-solid read from what I am currently reading but... Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with you guys to catch anything I wouldn't with randoms. Which is to say, I have never met most of ya'll or seen your posts. Which probably means a lot of homework for me.

It's page 8 and 3 day-3 passes are already punched.

I take it back about a re-rack.
