unintended necromancy sounds so ridiculous, i kinda want it to be real

still, i wonder what roles we will get, cuz this is already starting off really interesting.

samX500 wrote: 4e1z5d

So, with 9 player we can probably expect there to only be 2 scum? With 3 scum, it would be 2 miss-elimination for town to loose the game. With 2 it would be 3 miss-elimination for town to loose the game.

this i have no clue, i'd expect two scum, but as abraker said, it's igor's first hosted game and we don't really have much of a basis on what we could expect the number of scums to be.

it's better off if we play safe here.

I feel like having 3 scum in a 9 players game is kinda broken

what do we do now

Nothing cool

figure out a strategy

is it good idea to reveal roles since they will be replaced anyway?

First, let us all agree on a rule. If someone pulls a quickhammer again, then we vote them off the next day. Period.

anyway.

We shouldn't be afraid of miss-elim this early on. What we need right now is information. Plus, voting someone off gives the voters point to help them in the game. It's important that those who benefit from this exotic mechanic are town and not scum, the more points are given to town player, the bigger advantage to town.

I suppose it makes sense for town to tell their negative role. Not only does it help weed out scum, it also means we can coordinate which town should do the voting so that town with the worst ability get points to clear their negative role.

What would scum gain from knowing our negative role? I don't think scum has much to exploit from knowing my negative ability, or rather, any attempt at exploiting my ability will make people look very sus.

to be clear. I am not claiming scum have nothing to gain from knowing our negative role. I am asking the rest of town because I personally don't know.

Also @town it's best not to reveal when and if your negative role is gone.

not sure if its better or worse to reveal negative roles.

oh well, might as well say it

my negative role is uninformed, this would mean i am blindly picking my role and path because the path and role i'll pick will not be said to me until i use my points on it

tl;dr my role and path will be a surprise

also damn thats pretty bad to have if you are town and don't wanna quickhammer.

i feel like its better to keep ppl at E-2 if we do not want any sudden hammers until we are completely sure

the only problem with keeping people at E-2 is if there is someone with a negative role that randomizes their vote

oh we can reveal roles now? I can do nothing but My voting is restricted

also what the fuck, thats gotta be the worst negative if you don't manage to get it out in time

correction for my first sentence cuz it fucked up

is it locked to two specific people, or is it randomized.

i feel like if its locked to two only, that's a really bad thing if one of em is mafia or the two of em are

Two specific person

I don't think that there is a specific reasoning of why I can't vote them so i think it's pretty much vanilla but worse lol

well since i haven't posted my mandatory present post yet, i might as well reveal my neg since everyone else is doing it.

anyways my neg is my ability only works 50% of the time.

gg sub_kun

well shoot, there he goes.

hopefully bambi is at least active this time

Bruh this man wanted to play so much yet he failed to respond

My negative is like kinda weird tbh

If pentaqola dies then I can't do anything with my Path Points except for getting perks

so yeah please penta don't die

Ehhh can you explain more

I’m really confuse on what your negative is

ShinRun wrote: 4p6j2

Morning guys

We should be using votes for pressure and etc., but we should be coordinating wagons once we decide on a vote so that we can funnel points onto people that are a lot more likely to be town than not.

My negative role is that my night action targeting has a 50% chance of being randomized.

As a warning to everybody, this means that if ShinRun doesn't remove this and we remove town days 1 and 2 (with no stopped kills), we instantly lose.

If we hit town day one, we should force ShinRun to the start of the wagon we decide on day two to prevent this.

Shin and Yhu

My negative role is that if I am eliminated by town vote, the next day phase will be skipped. So essentially if you eliminate me there will be two night in a row and thus two scum kill.

As long as you trust that I am town, this doesn't do anything. Though this would be the ultimate excuse for a scum to prevent themselves from being voted off.

Also voting Sam off will speed up my death

So this is an interesting thought

1. Let's assume bambinex and penta are town
2. Based on bambinex's role, if penta is nk'd then scum can do double the damage to town
3. Damage 1: Penta, a town is nk'd. Damage 2: Town will be left with one less good role (bambinex's neg role)
4. Therefore, scum should target penta
5. However, this makes things way way too easy for scum and is quite unbalanced
6. Because of this, it does not make sense for both penta and bambi to be town - one of them are scum

Penta scum offers balanced gameplay. Scum is killed, but as a double edged sword, town looses a role.
Bambi scum offers gameplay in favor of town. Scum is killed and nothing bad happens to town

So what be it hmmm...

Also Yhuan cannot hammer. Idk how that's a negative role if you're town.

@Igorsprite We spend our path point during the night, but when does it take effect? It's not clear from the rules what the priority of ability is during the night.

aight, listing down the negative roles here


just doing this for future reference here, it might come in handy in ing the neg roles

i like this thought mainly because it delves into the negative role bambi has, however i can see some ways mafia can handle this setup.

if for example penta = town and bambi = scum, mafia can plan on keeping me alive until n2 or n3, or maybe until they see me as useless. this might favor town at first, but if kept for long it can cause some problems

if it is the other way around, they have the choice of voting me off in a specific day before bambi gets better roles. practically sacrificing me to cause problems to town. if they do sacrifice me, chances are its because my role for them is absolutely terrible and useless for what i have gotten blindly

if however this ends up being town + town for the two of us, I'll probably be dead at the next day, if not then i really wish that a town investigative role checks on this

i think the bambi scum, penta town thing can be balanced by rng by the way.

if i get a shitty and useless role and path (since i literally don't know what i am gonna pick), i can become a problem for town despite being town. this will be helpful for mafia as they have one less problem to deal with, if i ever become a problem in the first place

Exactly

Exactly

That’s why I’m saying they’re have the least scum negative role

Also I’m not here to debate whether someone is scum based on their role but instead I’m saying that judging who’s scum based on their role is a terrible idea

The negative role literally do nothing if we use our points to remove them so why are we even arguing about it


On an unrelated note, do we only learn points by voting someone

Realized I wrote “exactly twice”

Well since this is new territory let's decide whether we should judge neg roles like that.

Imo we should because certain roles may give a massive advantage to scum if that's true. I simply don't believe the game would be set up to skew in favor of scum that bad.

I do agree with abraker. We need to that scum also have negative ability. If someone has a negative ability that is bad if they are scum, but that is good if they are town, then we can probably extrapolate that that person is a scum.

Let's say I am not lying about my ability (If eliminated via town vote, skip next day phase). If I am scum, this is 100% a positive ability for me to have. So I wouldn't have that as a negative ability if I am scum.

I still wouldn’t prefer to vote someone based on their negative ability

Kinda ig since unlike other games, we gain ability the more we play so those who barely talk are probably not gonna be any help during the first few days of the game

Also it’s not like they have any useful ability right now so there isn’t really backlash for voting them off

I don't think we should do that because well that doesn't mean anything, like maybe igor just gave the negs randomly hence a townie could have a neg that is bad for scum, but the problem is that we don't know how igor has given the roles, so at least for now we shouldn't take them in

I think it's mostly meaningless since we know very little about the setup currently. It's very hard to tell whether any of this is even relevant to alignment until we can be reasonably sure whether they tie into our abilities or not.

The fact that scum apparently don't have fake claims either indicates that there isn't much correlation between our negatives and alignment or that there isn't enough forethought put into each role as a whole to make it cohesive (which can be checked by what abilities everyone has available to them)
