I immediately assumed the Pinks were going to be scum when I read your flavor about each party.

I think the three of us being alive at the end had less to do with creating an unkillable block of townies (I'd never expect that to happen) but more that there were 1.5 protective roles still around, including someone who had obviously been the target of the scum submission. That would have made things difficult the longer the game went on, after we had all claimed.

I do like you a lot when you're not spamming song lyrics and so I want to make a game some day that actually pleases you fully: what about this setup would I need to change to make post-game dongsbot go "wow an actually good setupf rom ecco traven huh whoda thunk"? ideally keeping the "scum can't initially communicate" gimmick since otherwise it's just a boring mafia game.

TBH any game that generates this much post-game discussion was a good game, whether the players all think so or not.

Thanks for another fun game to read along with, Ecco!

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Yeah, I think this setup is incredibly swingy for scum. The entire scum game pretty much hinged entirely on me being able to make the right reads, and we saw how that played out. I definitely could have played things better (the big chain of reasoning post was dumb, and I crumbled under pressure late, though it was just too late by that point). It felt like with all of the generally accepted town power roles floating around (Somber in particular), there wasn't anyone I could really deflect onto once they started coming off of KFC.

again, though, when I ran the scum-blind setup a few years ago scum joined together by night 3 and steamrolled the town (save for the killer dying d1).

it's definitely swingy and does rely on the individual scum finding each other using their wits (and their abilities), Grandicap just only had his wits and got unlucky. in a future iteration I'd probably let Grandicap have some kind of ability to find scum on his own to limit the chance of being too detrimental.

that being said, there is an advantage to scum not knowing each other, and the "sincere bussing" of Grandicap's case on Hats is a good example of that. honestly had Bird not pinkclaimed I don't see town winning the game.


e:as a total aside I only just now finally get the pun in Grandicap's name. I dunno. I'm a dumb sometimes.
