OPEN 649 — PICK YOUR POWER X/Y. EXPERIMENT OVER.

Ehhghh this is kind of veering into set-up spec territory, which isn't god-awful, but I really think we should just get reads the conventional way here. Maybe referring to them could help with associatives, but we shouldn't just be policy-lynching people because they're early on the list.

Skelda, besides his position in the draft, how are you scumreading Creature?

Couldn't say it better myself

I'm not. I've barely read this thread because there is so. much. bullshit.

You could be scum tbh.

Kick me.

[Firebringer]

I like it when people complain about bullshit, because they are actively contributing to more bullshit lol.

#Hypocrite.

LOVE THEM!

Right? Sheez.

I am a hypocrite. Bend to my every whim and you'll be fine.

[Dunnstral]

yeah me and gigabyte picked same number

This gives me free reign to white knight them and take no heat if they flip scum

[Creature]

Could see scum!Charloux choosing a number like 4 (low but not that much).

[Dunnstral]

Could see scum!Charloux choosing a number like 4 (low but not that much).

Why would they pick 4 as scum but not as town

[Skelda]

Seriously though Creature needs to die asap.

Okay! *aims a kick and falls on face trying* Ow...

[Dunnstral]

VOTE: Skelda

[Creature]

Didn't say town!Charloux wouldn't.

[Skelda]

Could see scum!Charloux choosing a number like 4 (low but not that much).

Why would they pick 4 as scum but not as town

Because their scumbuddy took their first choice?

[Skelda]

Didn't say town!Charloux wouldn't.

And your point is..?

[Chrimi]

Didn't say town!Charloux wouldn't.

Oh my god

VOTE: Creature

[Dunnstral]

I'm not letting creature get lynched

[Skelda]

I'm not letting creature get lynched

Why?

He is seeming like low-hanging fruit to be honest. I'm embarrassed that he beat me in the draft.

[Creature]

lol Skelda can't scum hunt.

[Creature]

Tell me how I am being a low-hanging fruit.

[Skelda]

Tell me how I am being a low-hanging fruit.

You are just being a little simple-minded. It's okay, I'm pretty terrible at this too.

[Dunnstral]

I want to lynch Skelda.

reasoning: low-hanging fruit

[Skelda]

Can you please not?

1. I'm pretty busy IRL right now, and this activity level is ridiculous, so I'm not going to seriously try to keep up until it slows down a little. Gutting on Troubador but not going to even try to justify it.

2. Setup analysis incoming, prepare to cover your eyes if you hate that sort of thing!

I confirmed with Bins that the mafia had the ability to communicate during the draft phase.

Generally speaking scum, like anyone else, would like to maximize their position in draft order, so it's unlikely that two scum would pick the same number. The vague WIFOM benefits of doing something unexpected just don't compare to the tangible benefits of having a powerful role or depriving the town of same.

Based on this, and looking at the draft order, we can provisionally conclude:

• At most one of {Dunnstral, gigabyteTroubadour} is scum.
  
• At most one of {Skelda, Charloux} is scum.
  
• At most one of {Ümläüt, pisskop} is scum.
  
• At most one of {Zachstralkita, cytheflyguy} is scum.
  
• At most one of {Vedith, Shadpowstep} is scum.

In my last PYP game when this was pointed out someone responded that focusing too much on this makes it easy to forget that singletons could also be scum, so we should just keep it in mind for when we actually get some scum flips.

[Dunnstral]

alternatively I'd pick the same number as my scum buddy for super distancing haha


haha

[Ümläüt]

Dunn, I can vote you if Troubador flips scum if you want?
