I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

your fates are sealed together at this point. if you flip town, Kommando is scum (and vice vercae).

Not necessarily. Beet and I (and Anidav I guess) certainly proved that wrong in just the last game. This is a bad assumption to make.

Yeah It's such a weak argument that it really draws negative attention to Small Keating.

I originally suspected Kommando was scum, but instead I think he's just trying to stir poo poo up, as he has less of a stake in the game. This should actually be a pretty useful thing for us, we have a suicidal inquisitor who might provoke some interesting reactions.

Yeah, you're right. To be fair, that was my assumption reading page 10, but I prefer TOML's theory that Kommando is some sort of rogue operator. Doesn't explain his weird fixation on MC being scum though.

i was thinking about this earlier and basically came to the same conclusion. you can't add in a townie who is gonna get modkilled later in the game without disadvantaging the town and i reckon gaspy would have considered that

and yeah, kommando is pinging my scumdar p hard and this is precisely why it's good to keep the thread open

having said all that, i only vaguely suspect kommando is scummy, whereas i am absolutely convinced that anidav is a liability, so i aint gonna change my vote

Gaspy has not run a game before and asked for my advise. Dont assume he knows what he is doing or that this game is in any way balanced.

this is an outright lie

if you have 26 players, then add one vanilla town, then subtract him four days later, there is no net change in the game other than an additional one vote required for lynch for a few days



also re all this theorycrafting, im strongly reminded of Mill's caution against white noise empty speculation being a sure tell for scum

white noise posting a la belljar and beets is part of ausPOO. Fruity's kind of nonsense talk that makes her sound engaged but actually offers nothing is verryyyy suspicious though

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

So the options you are trying are Anidav or no lynch? Because it is entirely paranoid to go "if we don't lynch Anidav with all this bandwagon momentum NO ONE WILL DIE!"

what are you talking about? It's always important, I for one want town to actually win.

Everyday should have a lynch, but the lynch has to be the person with the highest chance of being scum. And frankly, you're looking a little suspect.

Phyx is not a seasoned GM, and can play it however he likes. Plurality with Hammer makes fine sense.
When the game is indecisive the day ends and *someone* gets killed. However if they are decisive, they can crush someone at a time of their choosing.

Not being able to get enough votes for a hammer, and not lynching as a result, is how mafia works. If you change that everything goes out the window.
