[Game Over] Newbie 1784 - Escape Room

[nancy]

You are not locktown for every slot on the table, which should be your goal as VT.

[StealthyNoodle]

Well, you should've explained why he was locktown and made me read someone else. What a waste of time.

[nancy]

No, he isn't locktown at all, I am talking about you. You are locktown for me but not for everyone on the table, therefore your play has not been sufficiently good. The purpose of you casing Chronicle is to have people recognize that you are Town, which is your #1 job as VT.

[nancy]

You are locktown for me but not for everyone on the table, therefore your play has not been sufficiently good.

The latter isn't necessarily a logical conclusion of the former, btw. Towns are notoriously bad at recognizing each other and it is very often entirely the fault of the Towns not townreading you rather than yourself for not being Town enough. Look at the way that I've been treated this game, for instance. But you can't control other people, so you focus on your game and doing what you can to be painfully obvious Town.

[StealthyNoodle]

I'd say he's pretty locktown?
His track didn't go anywhere. Him not taking a shot at tracker would mean he probably guessed you were fake claiming BP as doc, and that there was a chance of him being targeted by tracker, thus went with his guts and did a nokill gambit, instead of going for a well chosen kill. It sounds like a highly unlikely scenario.

I rather wish I spent time today doing actual scumreads, than useless reads on a pretty much locked town.

[nancy]

lol

[nancy]

Sorry, I shouldn't be impatient.

The issue with this reasoning is that you're relying lazily on an intepretation of the NK rather than going through his ISO to determine whether or not you think he is a likely scumpartner. This is a very unsound way to develop locktown reads.

[nancy]

Go where your heart takes you, though. I am not objecting to that

[nancy]

There's no such thing as a "pretty much" locktown btw. That is just a strong Townread. Locktown means it is never flipping scum, ever.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Great case. I'm convinced.

[Alisae]

naaaaaaaancy I don't wanna put effort into the game ;~;

[Alisae]

Can we just lynch scumz already zzzzz

[TesXX]

It isn't autowin is it?
Pine lynch>>townie lynch>>nancy killed>>someone conf'd as town>>townie lynch>>BV killed>>1 non comfirmed townie, 1 scum, noodle, 1 confirmed townie are left
Even if noodle were confTown(which he technically isn't, he's just very likely town) it's not autowin.

From the perspective of any Town slot except me and Void, they need only 1 Townread to win the game. From my perspective and Void's perspective, we need 2 Townreads. Every scenario ends in your lynch before Day 5, where it would be 3:1 LyLo, so yes it is autowin.

[nancy]

Tonight I die and Void clears 1 slot as Town, which takes us to Day 3 at 7:1. If Town mislynches, it goes to Day 4 at 5:1, with Void dead. If Town mislynches, it goes to Day 5 at 3:1, with the tracker clear dead. At that point, the two remaining Town players need only 1 Townread (the other Town) to win the game.

[nancy]

This is why Noodle's laziness in vetting his Chronicle TR is so bad. If he locks that slot as Town, he is literally guaranteed to win this game.

[nancy]

Can we just lynch scumz already zzzzz

No, we play out the full 14 days because that's optimal play as Town. Then we lynch Tes.

[nancy]

Actually, it's pretty often optimal to lynch 3-4 Days before deadline, but that's another matter and not the case in this game or probably most newbies.

[nancy]

days*

That's not autowin. If you townread somebody in LyLo it isn't autowin.

[nancy]

It's not mechanically autowin but yes it is autowin.

[Srceenplay]

It's funny this game is called escape room

Saying it's not a scum post kind of makes it look like a scum post >:
