This is fair, I just sorta felt like you got there too early/easily, so maybe it’s a partly caught-for-the-wrong-reasons thing

Although encouraging to hear I was thinking along the right lines with most of the rest

Mmm okay, I’m sympathetic to that

It’s unlucky that skitt wasn’t online any of the times she was at e-1, I think this game maybe does end differently if she gets off a self-hammer and I check in dwlee/DotW and then you kill me the next day while I’m still focussed on titanic/ydrasse

right, i only added the modifier

my feeling was that claiming aggressively was necessary to look town

the downside being i got too paranoid about someone actually visiting me so skitt had to carry the kill + she ran out of room to make an actual fakeclaim but i'm garbage at balancing night actions

^i think this is the post that meant you should have killed me tbh

Up until this i was leaning checking dragons still, but this hit me as towny enough to actually make myself look at you during the night

Yeah, I think the other unfortunate thing is that if you and skitt had swapped who made the kill which night she quite likely survives and we yeet ydrasse instead

Yah I’m really sorry the balance was fucked as per

I feel kinda bad about winning this, I wish they would sort the balance so that winning a mininormal doesn’t feel like a semi-foregone conclusion
i'm glad you said it and not me so it doesn't seem like sour grapes

i think in general the average mini normal is skewed toward a different set of expectations and with this playerlist things were always going to be more townsided (which is not to say that people didn't play well etc etc)

there were 4 roles that could generate some form of guilty, whether soft or hard. knowing that those roles existed was of almost no benefit to us because we couldn't do almost anything about them. obviously this was compounded because town played well here but realistically, idk what could have been done differently, think of a better claim for skitter i guess but other than that...nothing

i pieced it together the moment you talked about who your targets were, those weren't the checks a neap would make, eventually aristeia made it obvious she had a soft guilty on skitter

eh, not sure, i think aristeia dying was always going to be a flashing red sign pointing back to skitter. we should've engineered a better claim but

This is the glaring problem in a nutshell

Honestly nothing will change until the NRG accept that actual win rates as a proxy for balance is a terrible, terrible, terrible, immensely flawed idea that obviously does not work and that they need to account for subjective experience of games (but they won’t do that because ~numbers~ and ~data~) (I like most-to-all of the NRG group individually, but as a group they are destroying any enjoyment to be had from normals)

Oh uh, yeah, good point lol — wasn’t thinking of that part of how to figure out my role lol. I was more trying to think of who to target who wouldn’t die who could confirm me (that was why I hit MT, I was thinking *you* were likely to die (lol) but that MT would be a good person to have back me up and definitely wasn’t scum)

I actually totally missed the soft guilty on skitt from aristeia lmao, even after she flipped and I checked ISO. It wasn’t clear enough to me

right, you missed it but i think ta vera/titanic seized on it immediately, there was no chance that the entire town missed it

I still think scum need some sort of answer, maybe a 2s RB or a JOAT 1s rb/1s rc

Just something that allows them to hard counter town power / to identify it faster

That said I think you could have maybe marginalised titanic/ta vera enough for it to not be a meaningful threat or at least to survive one day?

I do wanna see why skitt decided the best option was pushing me tho, I think she should have gone for a pocket tbh and steered me towards titanic/ydrasse

I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

it's distinctly less about the number of elims needed and more the fact that there are 4 roles there that can guilty someone in some way, the probability something goes wrong for mafia will all that is...extremely high
