LOL. Every game I'm in,In post 46, Mathdino wrote: So since we seem to be in agreement that Tora/sheep are town, and given that sheep voted completely arbitrarily (on someone who hasn't even posted yet), I unironically think cy should be our lynch today. Since there's no nighttime I would even be good with a speedlynch here (long days are anti-town).
Cuz fuck playing for fun, I play to win.someonewants me to die day 1, and several times they almost get their wish, but as of yet, I've never died D1. Let's not start now

Not my fault the setup isn't great and makes dicelynching ideal xD
I see no reason to shy away from the arbitrarily lynching cytheflyguy/Lalendra strategy.
@cytheflyguy:What did you and Lalendra talk about last night?
Same question goes to@manrock.- sheepsaysmeep

I plagiarised from the wiki and checked the Math myself (along with the Math on a few scenarios).In post 62, manrock wrote:Outside of that how does letting it rand actually help town? Seems more like a problem with the players actually being unable to catch scum instead of randomizing lynches making sense
Like I said. Most open setups are BENEFITED from non-random lynching. Strategy/scumhunting is easier when town is given multiple lynches and mafia comprises 22% or 23% of the town. Mafia can't drive mislynches over and over because that puts them in a shitty situation in LyLo.
In this setup, mafia is 33% of the town and we can literally only mislynch twice. Mafia has no need to set themselves up for a good lategame. They ONLY need to drive 2 mislynches. Given that most early lynches are on town, AND that mafia has the opportunity to influence the vote, the dice roller is likely to be better at catching scum than the 12 of us.
THAT SAID, the 8 of us who are actually town are likely to be collectively better at catching scum than the dice roller. The problem is we don't have a reliable way of filtering out the scum agenda.
That's why my counterproposal is to just pick someone we think is town and sheep them on some arbitrary wagon. This bumps up our chances considerably because it has a massive chance of filtering out the scum agenda.
So sheep sheep.- Mathdino

Tor/sheep and redflavor/manrock are all probably town. I thought I said that already.
You don't need to scumhunt if you can townhunt well. I know I'm way better at townhunting.
cytheflyguy/Lalendra then have a 2/3 chance of being scum. cy has done nothing to indicate townishness to me so I'm pretty comfortable parking here.
Do you have any reads beyond complaining about setup-breaking?- sheepsaysmeep

I don't have a read on you. Toranaga towned it all the way up with that entrance.
manrock/Red have consistent interpretations of their lover PT. Honestly I just straight up believe them.
Also I'm not dice lynching
I'm just arbitrarily lynching someone you picked who's in neither my nor your lover PT who hasn't posted yet- sheepsaysmeep

You had a townread on me in the first place? Have I actually said something alignment indicative already?
My whole thing in the open queue is:
1. Hyperposting
2. Setup-breaking
I happen to have the luck of consistently rolling town in the open games that are breakable (speaking for completed games ofc). So far there hasn't actually been any risk to myself of doing that all the time. I guess I could tell you that as scum I would just not setup-break but that would be WIFOMy as shit. I think the one time I did roll scum I pretended to try to setup-break that ultimately was useless because I PR-hunted every single PR at night and shot them before they could do shit.
Regardless, this strategy does objectively work, and I knew that when the setup showed up in the queue. It's part of why I didn't /in in the first place. I'm good if you guys don't want to dice lynch but if not that I'm going to substitute with some kind of reasonable alternative/effective substitute. Like sheeping your team.
Edit: Long deadlines/long conversations hurt town. I have EXTREMELY little confidence in my scumhunting abilities in this setup in particular. Ask me why if you're interested.- sheepsaysmeep
