ALL THINGS THAT ARE ARE OURS. BUT WE MUST CARE. FOR IF WE DO NOT CARE, WE DO NOT EXIST. IF WE DO NOT EXIST, THEN THERE IS NOTHING BUT BLIND OBLIVION.

AND EVEN OBLIVION MUST END SOMEDAY.

But I think the right move might be to no exe here?

I thought about that too, but I don't think it helps much. Town has no night actions so we aren't catching scum at night, and scum can meanwhile kill safely and eliminate the town bombs without getting bombed (as per the OP, only dayshooting triggers bombs). So no exe just makes it safer for scum, IMO.

The OP doesn't state that scum have a night kill and Moritz never clarified as to whether they do or not. How do you know they do for sure?

I think a miss exe d1 has good chances of outright losing us the game in this setup

5/2 goes to D2 3/2 LYLO, but if we make it to D2 we do have a confirmed town alive. It's a weird fast setup, but I don't think it's as desperate as a normal game with those numbers would be.

How do you think they win if the scum sniper dies at any point and town starts no exeing for eternity?

But a miss exe d1 means that a 5 town 2 scum balance turns into a 3 town 2 scum setup d2, at which point the sniper shoots an either wins the game or proceeds into a 1 scum 2 town n2 with no protecting roles, leading into 1 scum 1 town d3 and default loss for town

Wrong. If shooting doesn't end the day (and why would it?) scum shooting a bomb D2 in your scenario makes it a 1 scum 2 town D2. What was LYLO is still LYLO.

So, basically if we kill town today we are guaranteed to lose nomatter what, there is NO winning scenario

Let me revise, the above scenario leaves us in a zero info 2 town 1 scum d2. That's a pure coin toss

It's not zero info, that's why we're playing Mafia. D1 and an hypothetical D2 LYLO give us plenty of info. We have all of one safe misvote, and that's why we want to get people up and talking poo poo D1, let's make the scum have to work to stay hidden.

I'm side-eyeing Meen a bit. Would have expected some setup-breaking ideas instead of a faint gotcha attempt, but tbf it might just be a bit early in the US.

I truly don't see how refusing to yeet someone today leaves us with more information tomorrow, or in a better voting spot. A night kill is a free shot to off me and none of the bombs can do anything about it if I die that way.

I TOLD you I don't have good ideas this game. This is a rough setup to play and I got the least helpful role where people know I'm town but I have no idea who to believe is town back.

A version of Accordance 5.0 rewritten to run natively under Mac OS X was released in 2002. The company has continued to add and improve features, such as adding the native Quartz rendering system. Version 8 was released in May 2008 and introduced a universal binary for Intel-based Macs. Additional versions were released in 2010 through 2016.

Yea. But, modvoice here, for safety reasons, that usually happens very particularly in games where your role PM isn't being posted in the thread when you die. Such as, you know, this one, because role PMs are a couple of comments in the Discord.
