Given my intuition, this suggests that town benefits from the lack of nightkills in games like 4:8 Nightless and 3:9 Tree Stump (and the continuing participation of dead players in actual Tree Stump.) Basically, if a couple people can convince the town that they are townies and that they shouldn't be lynched, there's nothing scum can do about that.mith wrote:Had to include 4:7 Nightless, since I've noticed a rather common misconception about the Town's chances in Nightless games. 3:9 Treestump has also been run before, and 2:5 PairedLovers has at least been suggested (has it been run?). 3:32 Vanilla again demonstrates how many Townies you need to get a 50-50 balance in a Vanilla game... I think most would argue, however (and I'd agree) that the Town would be favored in such a game realistically.
Of course, that's "real life" which this doesn't quite model accurately.
