How often is a vig ever useful?

Objectively the best play is to toss it out d1. My reads are poo poo when I’m town anyways, I don’t trust my gut enough and second guess

Disagree with the objectively the best call bigtime. Even then, why not play day 1 like you don't have it then if you don't like the consensus at the end of the day or if you're up on the block you can derail the consensus first vote? Throwing it out blindly doesn't really give any information.

Mr. Steak posted:

wow, so based on the softclaims, that's at least 4 players with a dayvig. that just makes me more confident that at least 1 scum player would have one too

Five by my count - cheese sandwich, you, me, Opop, and Andy (also Spoonsy previewing before submitting this)

If anyone wants to go on record that they don't have a dayvig as town I'll reconsider where I'm coming from, but setup-wise town dayvigs are mildly pro-scum (odds are higher they're hitting town by the numbers) and scum dayvigs are incredibly pro-scum (you can just straight-up skip LYLO/MYLO if you get there). I'm thinking town has them and scum doesn't - even if we figure out that's the gimmick pretty early on, it turns into who's bluffing about having a dayvig.

tpink posted:

That was in response to Steak committing to shoot cheese sandwich, silly.

I get it, but if you have a dayvig and you see that cheese sandwich and Steak have them too, why is that your reaction? As soon as cheese used his, my thought was "there's got to be a bunch of these floating around" since I have one too, hence my question to Andy.

I don't agree with cheese's move, but I don't see how shooting a random person who you know won't flip as scum out of the gate is the play as scum. Getting excited seeing town turning on each other for poorly used dayvigs? Now that's scum paper.

Also probably obvious from context in my last post, but I think we can and should slow this down and play it rather than going all Free Fire (2016). I'm expecting some itchy gusher fingers at the end of the day because it'd be silly to expect anything else, but I think a gush-off right away is a good way to lock in a town loss.

Mr. Steak posted:

more seriously tho, this many vig's, even if we're all town, means the scum could also easy win today too

Oh, 100%. This is a chaos setup.

Mr. Steak posted:

for the record, in the event anyone decides to vig randomly in case of being nightkilled or whatever, i think it'd be best to target someone who no longer has a dayvig. it'd probably be better for scum to eliminate net vig charges in town's possession, plus the flip of someone who vigged someone else has high potential to be informative

Strong disagree here from what I was saying earlier balance-wise - with this many vigs I think it's unlikely scum have them. If everyone has a vig period, then for every scum there's effectively a free nightkill, it moves the balance from "can end on D1" to "probably ends D2 at the latest"

CapnAndy posted:

If the scum aren't vigs and if we do exactly my plan, we win.

Big ifs, but the plan itself works.

That makes sense to me - we've got some time to set it up though, I'd be really interested if anyone claims as town without the ability to gush.

Going through the player list, I feel like almost everyone has either claimed/softclaimed/implied they had a dayvig in context (like, if Hal or Epsilon said they were town and didn't have a dayvig after the linked post, it would give me pause).

I think the only people who can realistically claim not to have a vig as town at this point are tpink and the three people who haven't really said anything yet (Dead Cow, Mr. Humalong, yuming). (Preview edit - hi yuming! When you catch up let us know if you have a dayvig too)

Andy, I see where you're coming from and don't see any problems assuming the town has vigs, scum doesn't scenario.

As for the setup, because I am suspicious of cheese I think both scum and town could have vigkill. I have no evidence of protective roles however and without that this is WILD WILD WEST. I don’t see how it balances out but I’m not confident it is meant to.

I guess what I'm getting at is that there is no "could" from yuming's perspective unless you're considering the bluffing aspect - everyone else has either dayvigged, claimed a dayvig, or alluded toward having a dayvig. I feel like balance-wise the bluffing option makes way more sense and I don't like going toward a vote on someone who's already used theirs with the scum bluffing option in play.

Besides that, the cheese sandwich option feels bad to me - it was an impulsive itchy trigger finger shot, but who sees that they have a dayvig as scum and immediately shoots from the hip with it?

Scum could use it to shoot town who *looks* scummy whenever they want, either to change the momentum of the day or straight-up win if they do it late enough. I don't see the point of blasting someone in jokephase and immediately putting a target on yourself.

and I like how active he's been in planning - I think the winning move for scum in a game with this many dayvigs floating around is to stay low profile, keep your head down, and let everyone else kill each other while doing the minimum to put yourself on anyone's list of who they'd want to gush.

Even if we don't reach a majority, I also want people to have their opinions on record, so far SEVEN people haven't voted yet in this game - I thought there might have been a votefinder reset after the Humalong gush but no, that's for the entire day

I’m really struggling with these posts because the idea of vanilla town with no vig seems pretty fundamentally inconsistent with most of the roles that people claimed or soft-claimed.

Vote DC with me! yuming claimed hers as soon as she caught up with the game with nobody else at the time claiming to not to have a vig - presuming a lot of deaths because of how many dayvigs are floating around, I feel like it makes much more sense to bluff in that scenario, assume the game will end before you're called on to gush someone, and not make yourself stick out from the crowd as the one person without it. It reads as way more credible to me.

DC claimed after practically everyone had vigs and even commented partway on it

DC didn't want to claim it then and didn't do so until yuming had already done so. DC was purposely holding it back to avoid attention, and this was with Andy's plan already out there on the previous page - if I saw that in DC's position, I'd want to say "No, this is fundamentally flawed, I'm town and don't have a vig so it's operating on false premises". DC did absolutely nothing against Andy's plan because they just wanted to see death (because they're scum)

If anyone wants to go on record that they don't have a dayvig as town I'll reconsider where I'm coming from, but setup-wise town dayvigs are mildly pro-scum (odds are higher they're hitting town by the numbers) and scum dayvigs are incredibly pro-scum (you can just straight-up skip LYLO/MYLO if you get there). I'm thinking town has them and scum doesn't - even if we figure out that's the gimmick pretty early on, it turns into who's bluffing about having a dayvig.

I had this thought too. Here's the thing, though: If it's true, the game is winnable today.

- Three more people shoot three other people, at random. It doesn't matter. What matters is that now we have four confirmed town and five unconfirmed. Worst case: 3 scum and 2 dayvigs remaining.

- Again picking at random, someone in the unconfirmed group has to shoot someone else. If they cannot do so, they're scum and one of our remaining dayvigs shoots them. Worst case is that they can, and the random target was the other townie, so: 8 alive, 3 unconfirmed.

- If that worst case comes up, we'll know when none of the remaining unconfirmeds can shoot each other, and oh look, there's all the scum. We vote one out each day.


So... we actually kinda need to figure out if we think it's true or not.

Literally in point one, being able to gush is equated with being confirmed town. The whole thing is predicated on "If [town having dayvigs and scum not]'s true, the game is winnable today."

Even one scum with a dayvig would make things incredibly murky based on the assumptions so far.

I don't want to set the former up as a strict "if A, then B" - what gives me pause more than both claiming no dayvig is this, which reads as potential light bussing to me where yuming might have wanted to get on record as calling DC scummy, but not to back it up with a vote or anything:

Nothing else stands out like WOW especially since things have happened so fast. Dead Cows wait until flips comment is a bit out of sync with the thread but not in an inherently scummy way imo.

If I weren't heading out shortly I'd wait for Hal to say this himself, but I read "sorta agree" there as agreeing with the base plan, but being wary of potential unknown factors that would throw it off. You can't agree with it if you don't agree with the main assumption it's entirely built off of

Like, if we were to do that plan and Hal was called on to gush, does he say "Actually I can't, sorry!" and then get immediately gushed himself? Town without a dayvig should totally object there.

~memories of old games~ in Pander's Edgeworth: Ace Attorney game my flavor was Franziska von Karma, I was town, and at one point someone claimed they knew for a fact Franziska von Karma was scum. I had to argue it from the block, but I knew that had to be 3p looking for a target or something similar so I claimed and I got them executed instead. If I just sat on that, it wouldn't have helped town and it would have wasted people's time and energy looking for something under a false premise that they wouldn't know is false.
