We have been talking the possability of a SK in this game, I will have to assume its true because I think a vig would have already admitted they shot if they were either a one shot or 2 shot vig. is there an odd/even night vig?

Mass claim is stupid and probably scum motivated. Taco is looking towner, and skitter and Sephi correspondingly scummer.

I guess 2IAM gets a pass for today for his role claim.

I never thought i would ever say this, but i think i trust Taco more than anyone right now. I...need to go away for a while to deal with that.

Skitter has had some towny posts recently though...

This is not optional. If you don't want to claim it's becuase you're scum and don't have a good fakeclaim.

its not xD lmfao this is so scummy lmfao.

Well if you think town can win in mylo and not have all the info then tell me how and I'm all ears.

I need to prod dodge, sorry.

Wow, it's almost like we'd be able to figure out what we're dealing with more easily if we knew what power roles we had in the town, and what we're dealing with heavily informs the way we should be playing this day!

I just wish there was some way, some mechanism, some process by which we could get a better idea of what those roles are

To put this in concrete terms.

It is potentially MYLO. 2:1:10, 3:1:9, and 3:10 are all completely possible right now. We have no good information that allows us to discern between those. All we know is that there's some killing role out there, and that it's likely-but-not-definitely an SK based on the FBI agent flip. If we lynch without massclaiming, we risk either lynching a confirmable or pseudoconfirmable power role (i.e. something that can be determined to be likely real based on setup speculation) or we risk letting scum claim something under pressure, rather than locking them down into a claim now, without us having the ability to resolve their claim because there might not be any more day phases if we mislynch.

If we massclaim, we can potentially just figure out full-stop if there's an SK or a vig (if there's no vig claim, there's an SK, if there is, then there's a player who is almost certainly either vig or SK which is useful information). We might even be able to pseudoconfirm TIAM as town if, for instance, there is very little or no town power claimed (2:1:10 with the three PRs flipped+claimed so far might be considered balanced, i think, but probably not with less). Basically, we can avoid a ton of different potential mistakes that we can make if we don't massclaim.

If we don't massclaim then we are basically lynching in likely MYLO blind. Yes, it's versus 3-4 scum. That does not make massclaim bad and I don't understand why people have said that's a reason not to massclaim. It's all the more reason to, because today's lynch is basically the potential tipping point where we can turn things around, and we can do that much more easily with concrete information. We are working off of like one piece of concrete information right now, which is TIAM's claim. That is jack shit to be working off of in potential MYLO where we can lose if we're wrong.

I'm really interested why Chip in particular is so staunchly opposed to it.

At first I was thinking that massclaim would be tomorrow if lynching tiam didn't bring us to endgame

Now I'm thinking it might help determine their alignment.

I'm VT

7 days to deadline means very little time to discuss the massclaim

Since we're apparently just doing this in any old order, I'm VT.

Chip, we're prob in MYLO - massclaim helps us figure out if we're dealing with a vig or an SK. We might not get enough info through the claim to resolve that question, but it's possible we will. If we mislynch today, it doesn't really matter what people's roles are since the game will be over.

Basically agreeing with what implosion said.

Also I'm going to be much lower activity for the next few days since

A) finals started yesterday

B) my campus is just outside the danger zone for one of the wildfires near LA.

Okay, there seems to be broad support for mc, so it can't be all scum driven. Interesting that wave was absent for this discussion. So...

I'm, uh, <cough> the vig. Sorry about the Dany shot, but let me explain...

See, I was recently vig in Open 698, and n1 and n2 I took the sensible, high-info shots, both being runners-up in the respective lynch votes. Both shots hit town, and town lost (At least partly because Ironstove gave the game to scum, but town was in a bad way d3). Anyway, I was wary of taking the same approach this time.

N1 i decided to holster. N2 i decided to take a chance on a shot. Why Dany? Partly because town.Mulch fingered him, and town.Mulch is supposed to be good at scumhunting, even if he struggles to look town. Also the way Dany leapt in in d2 twilight to point town at 2IAM pinged me, and his ISO seemed kind of neh, just going along with easy lynch trains and not contributing much that was original.

Take care out there skitter...

There we have it, a vig. Y'all happy now?

That's a pretty convenient claim. He could still be a sk.

Sigh.

Yeah, I started getting some niggling feelings that it might be you based on our interactions yesterday.

Still think you should have shot Two or Serg here always, but yeah, won't rehash that again.

KI'm like 85% certain you're town based on that last post. Guessing Wossi is a red herring. You prob shouldn't answer questions regarding how many shots you are etc etc etc.

Trying to figure out if we should finish this or not . . .

If you're actually a vig, there's no way there'd be an SK too I think? Too many kills that way.

So we're prob 5-3, which is still MYLO, so yeah I guess we finish this.



So yeah we're pretty much always in MYLO/LYLO here no matter what happens.

Should we talk about who you would target next?

I kinda want to make a flowchart about who ought to be shot depending on who gets lynched and what they flip to optimize this, but that's going to take time that I don't have today. (And of course accounting for the fact that the dude that I'd always want to get vigged here is apparently a backup roleblocker, so yeah).

(also everything's safe, just classes + exams have been cancelled, uncancelled, and recancelled about four trillion times in the last 36 hours, so my life has been a tad hectic).

I find it unlikely that he's town due to that he didn't use his shot early on. That would have been the town thing to do as his survival is not gauranteed.

SK motivation is to lay low and assume you'll survive to later on in the game and shoot then.

The fact that he didn't want to claim further incriminates him.

So, a vig should assume he won't survive until late game, and an SK should assume he will? Is this too dumb to be scum? I keep wavering on that question.

But skitter is right. I should have shot you, if only to stem the flow of dumb.
