Look just because the pressure is on you and your magic baby doesn't mean you have to cling on to me because you know i have a limited amount of time to try and defend myself.

Look at me I woke up during a snowball on myself.

Oh by the way I may have been bus driven

Oh Anidav is on that list hey guys look over here. Not at me, over here.

I'm not sure if I should be in the list or not maybe my action counts as a visit but your circumstances are far weirder with multiple layers to almost ensure you could live multiple days.

YOU ALL MUST SUFFER WITH ME

Anidav posted:

Memes aside. Why are we all posting music and possibly signalling our first choices?

I doubt it would lead to people guessing powers but it seems counter-productive and pointless.

Also where is Infinitum? He usually has 20 posts by now and it's unlike him to miss the shitposting season.

Anidav posted:

Wew I'm starting a new job tomorrow I dont know how I'm gonna keep up when Monday happens :S

Anyway, postcounts seem kind of low which is weird because we've had basically a day zero to shitpost and pad our numbers with faeces.

Infinitum and b-minus1 will probably be modkilled.

Weird amount of players below 20 posts given the game had a night zero which was basically a shitposting season of jokes and music.

Okay so lets say there's six or seven scum, how many of them do you think are active posters? I think the below 20 club here is a decent stab for day one given that the playercount is much higher than usual so rather than town suspecting that the a singular lurker in a pool of lurkers could be inactive scum we might be looking at two or even three scum in a below 20 posts pool. for example.

See, to add to this, a team of 6 to 7 scum I would reckon a decent chunk of them will be nocturnal unless they are required to interact with the thread, atleast on a basic level. Basic thread interaction can and probably will in most cases equal a lower post count because the highly active posters bounce posts off one another in a game of tennis until they decide to lynch eachother.

I think given how high the amount of players is, a spray and pray on day 1 might actually be more effective than usual.

Anidav posted:

I disagree with your light concern and head trauma and will continue my efforts to find a reasonable conclusion to day 1.

Anidav posted:

I think it's too early to determine anyone is scummier over another. Taking a cluster of posters however and taking an action on them on day 1 version 2 means that such assumptions like lurker scum are less of a concern in the later days.

By day 3 or 4 one of two things usually happens

1. town lynches a lurker and finds nothing
2. town lynches a high post count player and finds nothing

By removing option 1 early, town can easily examine the higher post count players without the lazily convenient scapegoat of "yeah but this guy hasn't posted much since day 2, can we lynch this guy?"

or a bunch of lurkers reviving to say:

"this high post count player is trying to direct the conversation, this is clearly a scum move!"

Both situations appear to recently lead to town death which I want to avoid.

If we take a higher scum count into account then the setup could be:

a scumdoc of 6 or 7
two scumdocs of 3 OR
two scumdocs of 3 and a lone wolf

OR

Six or Seven lone wolves.

3 out of the 4 possibilities will lead to, hopefully scum nightkilling or lynching eachother while the remaining possibility makes the chance of low post count scum higher because I would imagine it to be difficult to co-ordinate a scumdoc of 6 or 7 to post actively and plan actively.

So if we test the theory that there is a scumdoc of 6 or 7 early then that will dwindle the insignificant scum players effectively giving town the chance to examine the other possibilities of setup, while if the theory is invalidated by not finding scum withing a cluster of low posters then one of the other theories of setup will eventually prove themselves as scum may simply lynch or nightkill themselves.

Anidav posted:

I have concerns about my lack of spare time next week so I'm trying to win the game early.

Anidav posted:

Which reads are worth our attention because I haven't really seen that much yet.

Anidav posted:

Tldr scum are more likely to be lazy when there is a high player count because the probability of thread pressure being put on them as an individual decreases as players increase.

I made a graph.

I got an ability from Flam being lynched but I'm not sure if alignment has anything to do with the strength of the power and I'm not sure if it counts as visiting Flam corpse which seems odd.

I don't understand why this doesn't apply to both players under suspicion? I could say Anidav will be under massive scrutiny tonight so we shouldn't kill him.

The big claim currently is that there was a bus drive on Hal that means that his scum result on Bif is wrong.

Plausible of course, this is role madness, anything could have happened.

But I'm currently failing to see play from Anidav that's so scummy as to ignore the claim from Hal.

I'm going to run a full update for all the claims flying around, but this is my position atm.
