Predict the kill (7/7)

[Alchemist21]

Or really the mechanic

The game was fun. The mechanic is good in concept but I think it would work better in bigger setups. Early reads are probably always going to be too split for it to be a viable way for Town to win in a 7-p.

i confirmed you as town when you gave town a point and didn't claim it in thread

i was like ???? no way you do that as scum

guess i was wrong

To answer your question, I was going with what I think you originally thought of. I can't remember the exact post but you said it didn't sound like something that I'd do, but moreso someone else. Unless that wasn't you.

I mean you were obvTown and if the kills didn't point towards you and I wasn't seriously questioning my own reads I probably would have gone pyt in lylo.

I just don't know why you didn't consider if I would give Town a point and not try to confirm myself? I was the one candidly talking about my guess D2 lol.

the kills yeah, i didn't think you would kill ircher here

but why would you give town a point and not say you had guessed chamber for town credit?

i thought you were 100% town for that

Hmm

How exactly would I work this mechanic into a bigger game?

because when you claimed "i didn't guess chamber"

i had already explained that you would have try to guess it

so as scum i felt like you would say "no, i didn't do that"

Honestly, in the back of my head I felt it was way too scummy to say that I voted chamber when I had literally no reason behind it. So I picked you, knowing that you had scum reads on you already

Did that seriously not post

I'm not sure on the numbers. I just think a significant increase to the player count with a small increase to the points-to-win would work. The wtf kills are going to keep the score low early in the game so you would have to balance it around Town guessing what kills scum

have

to make late-game.

[pytdarque]

Ugh. I thought it would be scummy to select chamber with no reasoning behind it. You already had scum reads from numerous others, so I picked you instead

it wasn't perfect. We all pretty much nailed mary d1.

Thanks for hosting Singletonking.

[Ircher]

Thanks for hosting Singletonking.

[singletonking]

Eh I did think about balancing mechanics

I feel like town gets an average of 1 point every Night, but I wonder if later Nights should be worth more.

There's also a huge swing factor.

[Alchemist21]

Thanks for hosting Singletonking.

[Alchemist21]

And you as well, ircher, for hosting the last game.

[Ircher]

if we followed my strategy, we'd average 1 pt a night... or know someone was lying/scum.

[Rainn]

i think it was fine and pyt just made the more optimal kills to avoid giving us points.

i mean, if ircher hadn't been killed, we would have lynched him.

if chamber hadn't been killed, i would have lynched him.

everytime pyt killed those, his mislynching options decreased. and that's what this game is about:

making a predictable kill and giving town points, or killing lynchbaites and making day play harder.

[Ircher]

i feel like not claiming n1 guesses hurt town. Certainly there's a way to make use of that info, even w/o a point.
