It's a pointless conversation today, I'd consider it tomorrow but I'm not basing today's lynch off it.

yeah nah most definitely. the good thing here is we have time to think thru it and if it does have some gaping flaw I'm not thinking of y'all can plan around it or I'll try. I'm OK at breaking games and this game isn't breakable but this is the best I can think of.


anyway back to lynchin'?

Yes please. I doubt you'll need my advice after my flip, but here's to hoping!

And Frozen Angel, you are a sweetheart, I mean that sincerely!

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ngl creature could go either way
his reads when he has been here have been more nuanced gamestate aware town creature indicative but his postocunt has been scum indicative so he could flip town, could flip scum. it's deffo within his scumrange to fake this and it's pingy that he rocks up and posts when he's called out but that's not high scum equity rn

I'd call him a good candidate for the DEATHENING or a food lynch shortly thereafter

I understand the suspicion on both kokichi (who did dick the whole game) and gamma

gamma is being quite the nonpresence, it's weird

I'm still lynching bbmolla for association with titus

It’s a hella risky idea. Which is why I am sketched out when we have the advantage right now.
yeah, the bomber is disadvantageous if it blows up 2 town. i do not think it’s worth it. especially if a scum player blows up an established town player with them.

In post 7886, Frozen Angel wrote:we cen get self detonation tomorrow night right? so it will be a plan for 2 days later in game. The number might be way shorter than what you're saying which is actually a positive thing for that plan
I am thinking if we do this (which I am not so sure about) we force them to go off that night on predefined targets rather than during the day.

This means scum can’t kill one of the recipients and stop it from going off.

In post 7891, Sando wrote:Math I assume I can't ask the mod yet, so I'm asking you, does the self detonation count as a night action? Could a scum use BP overnight and then blow themselves up safely the next day do you think?
It seems to count as a night action it doesn’t have the SS modifier that was there and is listed like a regular power.

I don’t think scum could do that based on the formatting

say you pick 3 town, you lose 3-6 townies who need to die for you to sort the rest of the list, plus 0-3 scum depending literally on how many scum are in the lynchpool

idk if that works though. i really don’t think it will benefit town to potentially lose a ton of townplayers when we have our poe pool set. i just think there are better ways we can handle this, like with the tracker power that is available apparently next day phase. it’s better to be safe than sorry imo

actually I liked this math
If everyone likes this can we plan it out though?

1) We give powers and targets during the day; deviating from them at night is a scum claim
2) We have to make sure that the most trust worthy get bombs like Stun Creature and Sando

Tracker doesn’t make them harder to kill.

They can be BP or track not both.

but like
worst case scenario, say we go pants on head and mislynch b2b we're down to 15 p in 12v3, say the nukefest somehow manages to wipe 6 townies

you're down to 6v3 and know for a fact that the townblock is fucked in the head and has three wolves in it
best case scenario? you ping 3 scum with the strat, all of them grab alternate abilities. even with petrification you just lynch the three of them b2b2b.

anyone who thinks the PoE lynchpool actually has scum in it should be blown away by how gr8 this strat is (unless they're scum).

you need to explain what your actual objective issue with it is fam >_>

Have a little faith in me I can read Creature. <3

Like I am pretty sure Sando Stun and Creature are all town. Add one more then distribute the bombs and force them to go off at night.

it completely depends on just how the power works and who we trust to let take it

like i think it would be safest to put it in the hands of the slot that we trust the most, but that could still be scum, like maybe theta alpine
