This is p tangential but I do think the informed modifier increases the value of tanking the draft like, a certain %, so speculation is a lil more interesting than in the original pypx/yIn post 144, Dunnstral wrote:

There is a difference between using draft information as just information, and using it to predict alignments or team composition in the absence of other more important things like the actual posts and votes in the game. In prior games of this family of setups, I have seen players say things like "x and y can't possibly be scum together because they picked the same number", where in fact scum who are very confident in their discussion abilities might actually choose the same number specifically to be ruled out as teammates. Separately, the concept that x and y are more likely to be s/t than t/t picking the same number is also dangerous, as it is no more or less likely that scum would want to keep a PR out of town's hands than it is that two town really want a PR.In post 41, Oblivion wrote:
It is of the opinion that this is a very defensive post that doesn't seem to have a prediction for how on guard it is. Yes, can you explain to it why you felt the need to bring up and defend yourself from an attack that hasn't even been levied?In post 17, davesaz wrote: I think reading too much into the draft would be a mistake. You have to go pretty deep into my history, given it's been ages since I played this (modded it a lot), but it will be clear I've always had this position.
Further, it thinks that the major element of this game is draft speculation and reading into player mentality for the choices that are made. Why shut that down?
So I strongly recommend thinking first about what people say. That doesn't mean that the draft numbers should be ignored, I just don't think they're the first or only way to sort people.
not sure how many times this exact set-up has been run-

Firstly, it wants to allow for others to understand it and how it speaks. If it is not being understood, that is concerning for it. It can try its best to help you, but it speaks as it is because it is who it is.
Secondly, it wonders, perhaps from a place of deeper paranoia, if this isn't intended to discredit what we've said or choose not to engage with our concerns with you. It feels like you could likely erase those concerns by answering our questions we directed towards you, but for the moment we are a little... put off by this.Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends?

This is a game of "could"s, though. Determining what is more likely and staking your moves on that, then adapting with new information is the entire methodology of the game.In post 158, davesaz wrote:

Simply stating that because somehting "could" happen that we shouldn't act upon the idea that it is unlikely and attempt to solve with a mentality in mind feels reductive and dismissive, to it.
It thinks there is a good line of reasoning and ability to choose where to look first in the logic it has presented. It even stated that it wasn't willing to say it was a certainty, and yet here we are discussing in a circle about "if something IS possible then we should consider both worlds" instead of hedging and using logic to try and eliminate worlds until proven otherwise.This is the law, written in the stars and seeds: in the end, all things must fail. They are old as the stars.But not older.
And you, who have your human heart again, know all their secrets still.
This is the truth you will use to break them, to rend chains apart and set their prisoners free:no one else has ever loved this way before.-

Pp didn't vote me because I am in the masonry and eating his Doritos on the couch but I'm using such a large tv tray and them vacuuming the couch afterwards even though there's no crumbs and it just seems so respectful even though he even asked to go halfsies on the Doritos and I said "I wouldn't eat them"-

This is good analysis. I think last time I naked voted I was mafia.In post 14, gob wrote: davesaz and yesiree also less likely to be w/w than fire and brian
But actually not… because Fire would ssy something everytime regardless of alignment. So nevermind.
All those people who voted without saying shit r on the same tier. I think May’s vote is the worst though, because i can see Fire and Dave noth making naked votes (no explanations) as town.
Maybe this game since claiming scum annoys with people I will just case myself all game but then insist I'm town
I'm a firm believer that memes improve town EV, just like a water stone improves a city Eevee, and unlike the way a thunder stone ruins one
