That’s sad.In post 1, Prof Hamm T Smiggles III wrote:Persuasion (as Town)
If you are town you have three goals:
1. Stay alive.
2. Find scum.
3. Get scum lynched or otherwise killed.
To accomplish your goals you must be able to pursuade others. Common approaches to persuasion include:
1. Screaming
2. Whining
3. Desperate pleading
4. Active lurking combined with naked votes
5. Presenting evidence-based cases that clearly articulate the reasons why a player is of a certain alignment.
Research shows that the first four methods are highly effective persuasion techniques, While the last technique will almost certainly result in your own lynch.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

Nancy-town feels like a magnifying glass in the sun glaring down at an insect.~Taly-

Quick: There is little to no chance this slot is Power-Wolfing.

You laugh but a pretty solid % of my wolf games have come against pretty stacked towns.
Like, as an example, my 2017 MU hydra game 13/4 against
nancy/camn (ragequit d1 [THANK GOD for the record] but still)
Dunn/MariaR
Quick/darcstar
Sooh/xicor (xicor is super lynchbait but sooh is competent)
delphine/pozzai (2 competent players, i've played w/ delphine before and she's somewhat familiar w/ my meta)
proph/ryker (also 2 competent players, though i don't know them well)
(and then mainly town potatoes so far as I remember, though town got a huge gift in an n2 sub-in of BATMAN/Frog replacing a potato slot before I, uh... blasted them in the face that night )
that's probably around the mid point, maybe even a bit below average for towns I've faced up against
so it's an important question for me given my meta and rand historyShowhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0
Conq: you, sir, are great at being town.
BATMAN: Only jugg was the only one we didn’t scum read at least not me

Town isIn post 107, mhsmith0 wrote:What happens when you're scum in a game where the town ISN'T a gigantic collection of morons? And in those cases, what is your best recommendation for how to drive (or at least achieve) mislynches?alwaysa gigantic collection of morons who will eat themselves alive. Don't get me wrong, there are many excellent town players who have instinctively good reads, solid analysis, and are persuasive. But all it takes is one bad townie and Town becomes a gigantic collection of morons. This is illustrated by the Sewage PrincipleTM: A barrel of sewage is still sewage no matter how much fine wine is added, and a barrel of the finest wine is turned to sewage by one ounce of sewage.
If you insist on making me offer advice on this mythical world where a non-moronic Town exists, here is one (impossible to pull off) approach: Form a townbloc with theentirescumteam and let the townies fight each other to get inside. They'll never see it coming unless they read it here first.
Or replace out due to IRL problems, leaving your partners to their inevitable loss, and /in to the next game you find.Class is in session.-
