Not really. There will be more data and connections to analyse during the final part of the game, but the early stages should be quite similar. The main difficulty for towns in large games is that people will often have very different posting rates. Towns should as much as possible try to have similar posting rates (this include not lurking, but also not drowning the thread with quote wars)
You can also assume more easily the presence of some roles when planning night actions. The odds of a town protective role and a mafia roleblocking role are extremely high in the usual large games.I'm town. Please lynch someone else.-

post #3 Alright, while I address this accusation, I'm going to remake my case for Player #1 being scum
Post #4 listed reasons player is scum.
Post#5 I think you're a reasonable guy and you have a point, but these points: point 1, point 2, are flimsy and my points are a lot stronger, we can lynch a more probable scum today.
#6 Don't kill me! I have kids to feed!
Is that about right? Thank you very much!

5. X IS TOWN, Y IS TOWNISH, Z IS SCUM AND THE REST OF YOU GO DIE IN A HOLEJoin me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew-

Depends on how you define your action resolution. If you're using Natural Action Resolution (generally accepted as the standard), then hide precedes blocks.Current Avatar: Kronk. Duh.-

From the wiki:
In case of emergency breakdown of the Golden Rule
If there is really no other option, the traditional recommendation of Natural Action Resolution is to pick whichever of the conflicting actions comes first on the following list, and resolve it first:
Copy
Hide
Bus
Block
Redirect
Protect
Miscellaneous
Kill
Recruit
Inspect
Do not use this list unless actions are actually in conflict; that is, that both affect each other.
If only one of the actions affects another, resolve that one first, regardless of the positions on the list.Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?-

OK this is something that has popped up twice now.
Some of you may have heard of something like "too scummy to be scum"(tstbs). While similar I've seen a phenomenon where someone will seem to hit "EVERYTHING THAT WILL TRIGGER SOMEONE'S SCUMDAR". Waffling on role claims, telling bald faced lies, voting for their townreads, not voting for their scumreads: just hitting every possible scumnote. And then upon their flip they turn out to be town.
I'm sure that this type of play has been around forever but maybe I'm just getting unlucky and everyone who wants to ping my scumdar is playing in my games of late? My ability to detect scum seems to be going straight to hell because distractions keep popping up.
What should I do when a player's actions just scream scum? Because I have the feeling that maybe there's an upswing of people playing up VI tendencies in order to slip through via "tstbs".-
