What? I'm not advocating for the strategy, I'm advocating for him to engage the game. I'm not happy that he's not engaging the game. I just don't think being minimalist in engaging the game is scummy when you are advocating a strategy that depends on town roles remaining hidden.

Drop the nonsense and play mafia?

If there's actual math involved why the hell is that only being conjured up now. Surely all that reasoning existed when he came up with the Grand Plan. Surely he's not just making shit up on the fly.

given that you are explaining away problems for him, I doubt this. This:

Of course there is actual math. I doubt he's run the numbers and is operating off of gut. Same thing I was in post 1. I was too lazy to run the numbers past realizing that getting to day 3 with 5 results (including the 2 cops) is a guaranteed auto win, and that it could be an auto win with as few as 4, but I believe 3 is the most likely outcome. 3 is no better than just lynching. Unfortunately again, I think this all got taken off the table when 1 of the cops made themselves super obvious.

If I was happy with him not engaging the game why would I be telling him to engage the game? I don't think he's scum for it. There is space to no think hes scum for it, but still be unhappy with his play.

Not engaging with the game, except for the single instance where he could defend himself in a roundabout way, is not scummy.

You are bending yourself in strange ways to make this one work.

There was mathematics involved in it. Calculating the exact probability is a very long process, which I am in the middle of (and even then I am still making some simplifying assumptions). It mostly involves checking a huge number of cases and subacases. I mainly used heuristics to arrive at the conclusion that my breaking strategy is very likely to work.

I study mathematics. I am not going to simply make up rubbish.

I'd be super surprised you'd be scum together, it makes way more sense if you are and stuck to a read you knew to be true despite evidence. Or you are just being weird and I can't read you for shit and he's scum after all. But this situation is
wrong

I'm not bending at all. I think you are scum so it's not surprising that you are pulling accusations out of your ass, but if you are town you don't understand what I'm saying. Full stop.

Nah, it's what you don't say. I press you twice on the fact that btd takes one single deviation from his nonengagement, he comments on one scenario, to defend himself by proxy, and twice you refrain from comment to keep your positive outlook of him intact. There's no confusion.

I ignored it because it doesn't make any sense to me? I don't think he's done anything that I'd define as engaging the game.

In post 179, Gorkington wrote:like, what would have been the town way to go about that?
would town him have gone through all of the pros and cons of what town would do vs scum would do? why is it not just him taking a step back and thinking "what will scum do to fuck with whats going on?"?
are you actually confident that scum is more likely to do that than town or are you just spitballing here?
Do you see the town point of view turn up in his post at all?

Even if your first thought is how it could go horribly wrong through a certain line of scum's, how's not your next thought: "well how can I fix this". In this case, say you predominantly direct people to target their scumreads. For one, you get a claim situation where you can criticise people, the second, you avoid tenshii's line. And it's dead obvious first solution (if scum follow his strategy, they shoot in their mislynch pool), but he doesn't even give it a thought. I don't know if it's
the
solution, but then you can talk about it.

I don't understand how you can look at a post that makes the choice to think about the setup, and the only features the scum side of things, no interest in advancing what town could do about it, and consider this perfectly fine. It's as unnatural as it gets.
You're literally doing what you're pushing me for. Why aren't you continuing off of my thought process and trying to figure out a solution to fix it?

I think BTD's play so far is fine assuming he'll actually justifies where he stands as far as setup breaking goes.

Myko also pushed me for "lack of enthusiasm for scumhunting."

1) I'm pushing Chamber
2) It's hard to be enthusiastic while all of my questions for scumhunting (*cough* You *cough* Myko *cough*) are ignored.

You've barely posted at all and are now posting a V/lA for 40% of the remaining time. I'm tempted to just lynch you if you are going to be even less active during that period.

1. But why the conclusion is scum!Myko instead of stupid!Myko?
2. I have won a game as scum simply because I posted the game breaking strategy (to be precise, pointed out a bettery strategy). For meta divers, check The Purge in my wiki. Game breaking is the ultimate wifom as scum because "there's no way town would do that."

I'm somewhat convinced that Chamber v myko is T v T.
