With Mith here and posting, the only one in real danger now is bowmore.

So really, anyone against the whip who doesn't vote for it is gonna look like they'd rather abandon a mechanic that forces participation for the sake of defending ONE poster with the least content.

This is a tool for scum how?

Does the whip need any more votes to activate btw?

fun fact: because of how much infinitum has pushed this it doesn't actually matter whether he's town or scum - it's utterly useless to look at the whip finaliser because we have all this baggage attached to it now

If you read my previous post you will see that the 1+ nature of it confuses me. I haven't seen the statistician before, only the scanner ability which gives an exact number. I wanted to see how we could exploit this power better and I wanted to know more since the claim. Is this the only list we get? Does she get more, can she chose etc.

If its the only one, then yeah Bifs plan does make sense, lets just hope we hit early and that there isn't only one scum on it otherwise we could lynch a few town while scum kill people off the list.

I am just a little worried about laying out long term plans in thread giving scum a chance to plan

Wasn't there a statistician in the last Mario game? I remember being quite concerned as scum in that game because there were actually 2 or 3 scums on it.

That was a weird autocorrect.

Pre blow out I mean. To clarify.

Mith?

You rang? Are you asking my opinion on birbstrike?

Regardless, here it is:

My read is that either

a) birb was super defensive because he's scum and hated being pinged on d1; or

b) he was already feeling grumpy and felt he was being unfairly targeted while (for example) infinitum was posting stupid poo poo and wasn't being questioned nearly as hard.

I'm leaning towards b) because if it was a) he probably wouldn't be back in his regular posting/questioning style now and would probably be milking his hurt feelings more in order to avoid having to contribute to the scumhunt.

Birdstrike posted:

And his excuse for role claiming you thought was fair?

If he honestly did misread your post and was also honestly feeling attacked then yeah

I am trying to figure out why a clever scum would fake-roleclaim that early on in the game, when he wasn't even that close to being lynched, and with something that specific/weird. The role and the conditions, to me, seem consistent with the type of one I was given as well.

I've changed my mind. I was a bit disappointed since after crunching the numbers I realised that there's only about a 2% chance of picking nine names at random and getting no scum.

BUT!

**caveat: I just relearned basic stats in order to figure this out and could be well wrong**

When picking nine names at random from a 16 player list (assumption is that there are 4 scum). the odds are as follows:

Chance that zero scum are chosen: 1.92%
Chance that one scum is chosen: 17.31%
Chance that two scum are chosen: 41.54%
Chance that three scum are chosen: 32.31%
Chance that all four scum are chosen: 6.92%

Given that Coq and you are town on that list I reckon we work our way through others with extreme prejudice.

Zetsubou-san posted:

who loving cares about sky coq, and bif gets confirmed when she flips.

there's at least one scum - remove them from the pool of options

lets assume bif is town - remove her from the pool of options

the resulting numbers tell us how useful the list is after we lynch one scum from it

7 picked from 14. assume 3 scum.

just for shits and giggles, do 7 from 16 - assume 3 scum.


Coq had data confirming bif's alignment. Coq was flipped as town. Therefore (IMO) the data was reliable. So to me, bif IS confirmed town.

Your reasoning is silly
