You make less than 0 sense as I already explained I am not scum. Your results are being hosed with. I am currently at a wedding and will be unable to post until tomorrow evening and I would appreciate not being hammered before then but do what you want

I'm here and would vote but will also let people check in and say things. I do think it's possible that there are 4 scum , since right now we have: SCUM: Mason, Bulletproof*, (probably another Mason?) vs. TOWN: Cop, Backup Cop, Doctor, Mason *(essentially a Goon unless there's some way for scum to get shot that I'm missing?) I don't ever run games so my ideas on balance might be off but right now it feels to me like if there were 3 scum, town would win that game every time. Also I feel like four scum might explain their willingness to try the Infinitum gambit - I'd bet that Kumba was supposed to help sell it but they were foiled by Keane's dedication to town

The only other thing I can think of, which seems like a huge stretch, is that "Scum Bulletproof" is a joke role where the punchline is that there's no way for scum to get shot. And then the way to balance that would be to give town such a role, which could be "Town Backup Cop" in a game where there's no cop. In that scenario tpink is the last scum. But there's really no need to worry about that unless Kumba flips town, and reading over his history (he dismisses my case on Ecco but jumps right about the case on Revolver), I really don't think he's going to.

CCKeane posted:I wouldn't buy kumba as mafia. Kum a could be SK I guess, though. He would have to be the world's least successful SK given the lack of secondary kills on the night. What makes you think he's not scum? Kumbamontu posted:I just reread the whole game and didnt get much. I agree MMT's posts seem fake. Her initial vote on Ecco for instance reads as a big overreaction to what was a list of early D1 reads that didn't need any more substantiation. I'm also having trouble making sense of how, after all of the back and forth, MMT ends up with a "null-lean-scum" read on Ecco. Reads as overly hedged after that long confrontation. Between posts like this and a cop investigation on him I find it to be kind of open-and-close.

I guess mostly because being masons with two mafia would be pretty out there. I'd buy a mafia, town, 3p group though. For what its worth, KK died after I speculated that he was cop. That said, if it wasn't for the investigation, I wouldn't be looking at kumba at all so.

If we lynch Kumba and he flips town, I'd be shocked. It would either mean that tpink is lying, or that scum has a framer. If scum had a framer, it would have to be either me or Keane unless we're thinking there's a Framer/Godfather combo role. If we lynch Kumba and he flips scum but the game doesn't end, I would guess that there's 4 scum and Keane is the godfather. If we lynch Kumba and he flips scum and there were only three scum,  :

 Kumba, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Scum Mason has been CANCELED on Day 5.  All of the scum have been eliminated, TOWN WINSSetup: 13 players 3 Mafia 1x Scum Traitor. Bulletproof. Knows who the other two scum are, cannot communicate with them. 2x Scum Masons. Bulletproof. Each has a Night Kill. DO NOT know who the other scum are. (In the event that one of the masons die, the remaining two scum will be linked up.) 10 Town 1x Cop 1x Back-up Cop 1x Doctor 1x Unconfirmed Mason 6x Vanilla So, scum had a hard go of it. The main mechanic of the scum team being split up didn’t really come into play past day 1. You can look at the mason doc, but Infinitum actually had a kind of good idea in the way he claimed, he just chose the complete wrong time to do so. I believe his idea was to word his claim in a way to let the other scum know that he was definitely scum, as he figured there had to be at least one more in the masonry. Kumba would have caught on to it. If they had done this during the night phase, they could have coordinated at that point and just killed Keane (unless he got doc protected that night.) So really, that was always a gamble. Kumba, you will notice, did not really bring any of this up to Ecco when they got together. Especially the bit about not knowing who the other scum were. I think they could have eventually constructed an argument to lunch Keane, had they put that together, given the wording of Infinitum’s claim. But really, there wasn’t much to do after they lost the second NK except hope they kill the cop. They were doing fairly well until the mass claim, honestly. Hitting only uninvestigated Vanilla players didn’t help. This was literally carbon copied from a setup Token Female ran 8 years ago, which had a similar situation happen where one of the scum masons died on D1, however scum won out in the end by nailing the cop. I suppose we’ll never see how that plays out the way it was intended. You can see it here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3025691 I’m sure Tokes has more to say, so I’ll leave my piece at that. Thanks for playing! Here is a link to the various docs: Scum Doc Mason Doc Setup / Night Action Doc Flavor Doc Max fucked around with this message at 00:08 on May 1, 2016 |

I think a framer or a roleblock on the scum team would work, but as it is the setup explicitly requires the cop to be dead by n3 at the absolute latest to have a chance since he can clear so many people I had fun anyway though! Sorry for being scum Keane, your songs of love for me are still meaningful

I still wish we could have seen two night kills at the same time.

Oh, last funny story: Tokes and I had a long conversation about how Ecco really couldn't play in this game, as they would break it due to their participation in the last version of this setup (assuming they remember a mini from 8 years ago.) Essentially, Ecco got the one role that would''t break anything. We knew that the moment they signed up, since we had randomized the roles to the musicals before opening the thread.

wrt the setup it is very swingy based on when the double NK dies. Even if it's balanced overall the early days are more important than the later ones, which is the opposite of what I'd want in a mafia game.

Yeah this setup seems really dependent on whether the scum can take out the two cops early or not. Definitely a setup where whoever gets ahead in the first few days will probably stay ahead from momentum. Scum would have been better off with a godfather over one of the BPs imo.

My bad for posting my role pm as well, I think I was out that day and just couldn't be arsed rephrasing it at the time. As you said I picked the wrong time to run that play, but I'll know better for next time. I'd have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you pesty modkills

Definitely a setup where whoever gets ahead in the first few days will probably stay ahead from momentum. I think that's a very good point, since the cop and back up cop are there to find the two mason scum, since I think most would assume that the second mason scum would be town after the first one flips. The second cop is probably not needed. It might be interesting to turn the roleblocker into a godfather to add more possibilities that the scum can kill each other as well. Though that continues to make the game very swingy for the town.
