Hi, if we massclaim today and everyone cooperates (from Town) we'll have 4 confirmed Townies (3 PRs + 1 Backup) vs 8 unconfirmed Vanilla Townies. 3 scum will surely be in the VTs so the chances of a scumlynch will be 3/8.

FAQ: 1. YES, I know we give ourselves for scum, but it will be easier for us to scumhunt out of 8 instead of out of 12.
2. YES, I know that if someone from Town fakeclaims then we're fucked. That's why we need everyone agreed on what we do here.

We don't claim roles. We only claim whether we are PRs or non-PRs (VTs). A number is enough to establish whether someone is Town or not. Claim can be done similarly to NH's claim in Stack the Deck (Two Style).

Not exactly. Town has 5 townies and 3 PRs, while the scum can claim whatever they want. They could even claim extra 3 PRs, but that would make a 50% lynch, which is nonsense.

My point, though, is that they can even split between these two brackets. If they plan on going 1 into PRs and 2 into Vanillas, the chance for getting a scum from PRs is a 25% (1/4), whereas from VTs it's 28,5% (2/7), so it's like cut down by 10% from your mentioned 37,5% (3/8) in both brackets, while in general we've got a 3/12 (25%) chance to get 'em. Sorry, I'm not going to expose myself for these mere 4%.
fartownik
I have no clue what you're talking about right now.

If scum wants to fakeclaim PR then sure. But they will have 2/5 chance to actually claim an unclaimed role, otherwise it will be a counterclaim and we will lynch one of them, still a lot of info from that.

I fully disagree with massclaiming roles.

1. Claiming roles will just as likely make them useless as not.
2. If we're ever doing this at all, we're NOT claiming roles, only that they are a PR. This is primarily due to the above. It gives the mafia a better chance to blend in, but our PRs won't be basically useless for most of the game either. This is still something I don't recommend doing.

This is the same situation as Stacking the Deck way back, except only slightly better.

Also, everyone who voted to lead themselves so far has pretty much eliminated any chances of me actually voting for them today.

back inmmy day massclaiming at day 1 was the dumbest thing. it continues to be the dumbest thing and I won't agree to any plans of massclaiming on day 1 ever. the probability for town to get insta scum is too low at this point to warrant a massclaim.

also, what if scum fake claims (in case of more pr claims than there should be) and nobody answers? then we are royally fucked because we can't even trade 1 to 1 (which often is bad for scum). overall it's a bad day 1 play. the mass claim in stack the deck only worked because of an elemental error from mafia, the claim itself was an good idea.

I'm gonna hold my vote back for now, as it doesn't make sense to vote for early game pressure in this set up. however, all the guys who voted for themselves and farto have my eyes on them.

Scum is pulling a 2/5 gambit if they want to claim PR. They can't just hop and claim it like a fucking boss and no one notices.

Both yours and Caligno's arguments smell scum defending themselves from the massclaim.

it's situational, in this case it's dumb and i explained why it is, in another case it could be the best thing to do
fartownik
I've been scum in Stack the Deck when massclaim D1 happened. I've barely made it to fakeclaim a PR, and the setup was CLOSED, not OPEN like it's here. The chances for them to fakeclaim are always at 2/5, and won't change for today. The chances for us though are 3/8 for lynching scum out of VTs or 3/5 for getting a counterclaim if scum decides to fakeclaim.

Yes, you explained it with a shitty reason.

Look, if scum manages to get that 2/5 gambit in and actually 4 people claim PR, WE WILL KNOW FOR SURE that 1 scum is in the PRs, unless it's a dumb Townie, but I can't help dumbness.

Both yours and Caligno's arguments smell scum defending themselves from the massclaim.
just to teach you some maths, it's 2/5 gambit ONLY if scum has to claim first..the real chance scum gets away with a lucky claim is actually >than 50%

basically you want to trade all our PRs with a <50% chance to get a mafia goon lynched d1 (in best case scenario) or d2 and lynching an important PR d1 (still a good scenario for your retarded strategy)

i already explained perfectly why and how it's anti town, if you don't understand i feel very sorry for you
fartownik
I've explained them in my first post, but obviously you treat the 2/5 chance of scum claiming an unclaimed role as 100% possible. Why the fuck

fartownik
So why is massclaim scum-indicator in your opinion?
Sephibro
you propose an anti-town strategy (i've explained enough why it is anti town, i'm sorry that you're not able to understand it - i can explain again making best case scenario and worst case scenario if you need it) which would only go in scum's favor
fartownik
You obviously can't see the pro of scumhunting out of 8 people instead of 12.

Also my question was directed to Irreversible.
fartownik
And Irreversible goes inactive once I ask him a question.
Irreversible
What the fuck, I don't have to stay here 24/7, what's wrong with your gameplay? seriously
Tanzklaue
even if we should massclaim (which we shouldn't) I say the back up shouldn't claim PR.

with the back up not claiming, we would have an ace hidden in our sleeve, so mafia can't just pew one PR after another, especially if town hasn't a doc.

Answers both of your questions.

pieguyn
here's the problem with massclaim

sure, scum only has a 2/5 chance of claiming an unused PR. that's great. but that requires claiming the exact roles, which we've already agreed screws everything up > < if we're just claiming PR or not, then it makes it way easier to put up a fakeclaim, since scum just kills off all the PRs and then they get a better idea of which ones are free

also, why can't MC happen later? if we can keep all our PRs till the day before LYLO, then it'll be way more useful bc we'll have a bunch of conftowns to do POE. and if not then it's just the same result as MC'ing now and having scum kill all the PRs off. I'm all for massclaim, but it's way better to do it later as opposed to now 0.0

I don't agree with the massclaim as of now.

While I don't have any math to back me up, I do know from experience that scum very nearly won Stacking the Deck with the D1 massclaim, had they not made a mistake late game.

You should know this the best, fart, since that scum was you.
Amianki
This point has pretty much run its course.

Now let's continue with voting for CTs, thanks.
fartownik
Okay, fine for now. The massclaim doesn't have to go D1, obviously. I still think it will be a really good thing to do in next days, but I only brought it up today to get early reactions out of everyone and cut off the RVS.

By the way, we have to choose the Leader. Please post your best candidates for that position and why you think he should be one, I already voted for Tanz. When we're done voting, we will start an unofficial vote for the lynchee. The priority for now.

Caligno, so you want CTs as the Leader? Are you sure?
Amianki
CTs, so far, is my only town read.
fartownik
Oh, that's interesting, because he was one of my scumreads. Mind explaining?
Amianki
Because his vote wasn't useless as most of the really early ones were.

Seriously, voting for yourself is like the single most useless thing you can do at the start of the day in this situation.

Congratulations, you've figured out a lot of my very early game town strategy.

But in all seriousness, I already answered that point. In a game where you vote for who you think is town, RVS suddenly becomes a hell of a lot less useful since votes are the most anti-pressure thing you can do. Voting for someone else, even at random, is a hell of a lot more useful than that.

So why exactly are pieguy and kevincela not in the same vote? Because they bandwagoned.
Amianki
*boat
Jinxy
Is the choice of leader really that important? Obviously the most pro-town should be chosen, but if the lynch was PVoted on, then anyone could just lynch according to what the majority wants. There is no incentive to lynch otherwise, a scum leader would just out himself and the majority's lynch for the next few days. Of course, this banks on the fact that the lynch methods are also democratic.
Jinxy
lynch methods in the next few days are also democratic*
fartownik
I agree with that, but it's still important to pick someone who doesn't end up treating the power as Day Vigilante (BRBP D:). We must be sure of that.

Also the person should be active enough and be up to make votecounts out of PVotes.

I don't think leader voting is enough of a deal to consider what CTs did as Town. Your read doesn't speak to me at all.

Okay.

All the RVS are null. I will consider everything that happened after my idea of massclaim.

I've found your and Sephibro's responses the most scummy of all, and I already mentioned that. Both early scumreads.

Irreversible got mad after calling him scum.

I still don't get this part.

Also 1 minute after that, I asked him a question. He didn't reply to it for about an hour so I called him out for leaving the discussion in the middle. He came even more mad and STILL DIDN'T REPLY. Irre is also scum.

rEdo is null-Town and Tanz is Town.

I find this response incredibly interesting, as it completely assumes that I'll only ever have one town read in the entire game.

One person is confirmed town. By your logic, he should instantly be given the rights to make the vote in this situation. However, let's say he also has my three biggest townreads outside of him as his scumpool. Do you really think I would want him to have the sole lynch power?

Believe it or not, your play can be incredibly town while still having abysmal reads.

For example, X is a conftown. However, he thinks Y and Z are scum and basically tunnels on them, despite the rest of the players not agreeing with him. If he gets voted to be leader, he might lynch Y or Z over what the majority wants. And the majority doesn't want that to happen. You know, a little like p/2464657 .

Though I feel that this is derailing a little because no one's conftown on D1, anyway.

okay i'll try to explain why farto's massclaim strategy CAN'T help town in a way that everyone can understand:

scum will NEVER all claim VT. one of them (probably the goon) will claim PR, the other 2 will claim VT
PRs will have to fully claim their roles, and scum has a 50% (actually more than 50%, but let's round it) chance of going away with a lucky claim
>in this case we're going to trade information about all our PRs for:
50% chance of getting the only information that 1 scum is among the 5 PR claims and the other 2 scum are among the 7 VT claims (worst case scenario)
50% chance of getting a crossclaim, so a 1v1 (best case scenario)

so now please stop even taking it into account or saying "mmm no i don't want mc because i heard mc d1 is bad"


it's a pro-scum strategy, and this farto fighting so much for it smells very scummy
Sephibro
now, we don't have to talk about who should we elect lyncher and why, because the lyncher won't do anything without our consensus.

we have to decide who we want to lynch, then we can elect anyone who's not the lynchee

I don't really get this whole CTs voting here, just because he didn't do anything particulary scummy doesn't make him town in my eyes.

jinxy looks the most town to me, as he doesn't do silly votes based of a random vote.

as CB said, what if the lyncher is obv town, but still didn't lynch the guy we wanted?

also, a scum lyncher could be perfectly fine with lynching his teammates, because it essentially would make him pro town for all the others (we basically give him a perfect bus). an scum lyncher would probably be the only one who wouldn't lynch after consensus for the sake of him not losing his cover.

I agree, we need a lynchee, but we also should chose our lyncher wisely.
