FYI: I was not told any setup stuff and pretty much all I knew was the purpose of the Ghost and Viserion accounts.

Was certain that IGCD was scum given how he was essentially bussing himself. Thought it was a natural surrender to create a smokescreen so Daenerys could continue onward with her pet. Was not sure who that was. I did suspect dowolf (it was either him or Death), but never in a million years did I think plum would be scum too. Goes to show you how wonderfully he played here. I am very impressed.

Also Im not sure how I react to you day 1 if I am town, Chris

I think I still try to lynch you because you changed your flavor and I would be like "Why would he have 2 flavors? how would he know that"

very intuitive

and very poor play on us because your first claim was on our safe list and none of us realized until AFTER you claimed

'oops'

like if we noticed that would have been such a balls out counter claim

Also while I'll admit I didn't handle Day 3 very well, how anyone thought that Sheep thing was a contradiction is baffling

For the record, i pretty much try to ignore flavor claiming for myself, town or scum. Unless rare advantageous circumstances arrive, its usually easier to just play as if flavor doesn't exist.

And if some flavor cop exists just claim real flavor. Theres only a few situations and flavors where your character is typically obvious scum.

For instance 3 of our scum characters if not 4 could have claimed real flavor and not been insta lynched this game.

No. Town power just got chopped down early and scum didn't exactly have a lot going for it. Consider the only thing we really used at all was a 1 time blockable extra kill.

Town also underutilized what power it had. Their best power was squandered or killed. The game actually played out as low power vs low power.

i think you underestimate how strong some of towns roles were(The redirect) and are maybe ignoring the fact that lawyer wasn't traditional b8 lawyer. It was literally just a lynch-chooser(Do we have a name for this?) and had none of the gambling involved with typical lawyer.

I don't think scum had all that much of anything. Roleswapper was as I stated immediately on the scum board, pretty much entirely useless. If dowolf dies at any point, we are crippled(My biggest fear this game was blade deciding to try because he wanted dowolf dead for days). Scare's role was very limiting and to use properly would require near suiciding.

The only strong role we had was roleblocker and our dragon-holder(And town had a similar working role to this). Extra kill is just standard at this point(And in an even numbered game, does not decrease the mislynch number necessary for triggering win condition).

The lawyer can still wind up lynching town though. It doesnt really change the balance anyway.

Like, there were a lot of fun ideas, and scum had some really good hits while town had a lot of useless hits. (Sbell was great though) But it all came together in a very volatile package that I would have tweaked just a little bit. And no matter what, I would never give scum 2 extra killing roles.

And the extra kill did decrease the mislynch number needed. Mostly because killing MI was also an extra kill.

I know I was not asked exactly, but if I could give some feedback.

You partially buried yourself for portions of the day, you attacked me for instance about my checks and about how they could be lies. I felt while this might be true from your perspective in how I was attempting to bury you, it did not really help your case to be town nor did it help your case to escape lynch. It in fact made people more focused on you in a negative light.

Also just from an outside perspective, while you were right on the scum team (and they were burying you granted), you were really not exactly pushing them to your fullest. It felt like you were screaming they were scum but without trying to convince people in that situation. It was not all your fault as you were right but you failed in the convincing angle.

There were doubts about your claim, however I felt like in hindsight that you lacked motivation as scum to claim there. Scum ninja would never claim ninja, and the town really never tackled the motivation behind your claim, all it did was put you in a bad light without it beneifiting you in any way. I feel like this aspect was mostly on town for not realizing the miller aspect, and as we talked about in the game you were really defeatist whenever people went slightly against you, which I do understand being worn down under constant attacks.

When you tried IGCD I thought you were super towny but when you were going in that idc just lynch me mode it was hard to really see town motivation under the scrutiny.

(For one thing, you should have claimed your real role right away.)

It would have helped if you clarified that the hostage stuff was something you got from town, and not from your role PM. Also you really should have focused on the players voting you, even though that would have allowed Plum to escape.

But I think, even if you did convince me. Blade and Tange's non presence slowed me down too much to do anything about it.

I was pushing in your direction, but the abrupt nature in which I showed up, said "Sheep is not Scum, but here's a splinter that I guarantee is 100% Scum" should have turned some heads.

That wasn't a random play. I knew Scare was Scum. I was 95% sure Sheep wasn't.

People need to learn to fear Hangut again. When I say I find people on their first post of the game, I'm not lying. Tony in Chris mafia, Ulti in Hearthstone Mafia... Scare only pinged my gut in this game because I was rushing to catch up the entire day 1, but after having some time to settle in, I had him pinned.

You were essentially confirmed though. In fact, not confirming yourself is 100% the correct play. You are unlynchable and can draw out scum with seedy motives.

You always have the ability to say "I'm 100% confirmed town fuck you guys we are lynching X".

And then X should be lynched.

Yeah I think town was greatly underestimating how good some of their power was (and overestimating scum...for some reason). People were complaining about how powerful scum was when all that had flipped was a RB and the role swapper, which is beyond bizarre.

Like red pointed out, in probably 50-75% of games role swapper is useless. It was included because of how powerful Dany's role was and I didn't want that randomly getting stuck on some dead weight player. It would allow scum to swap it over to whoever they felt was deepest but in a lot of games (like this) you may just keep it on whoever rolled it. Plum was literally (and not just functionally!) a vanilla. The GF in this set up but it isn't like he had special powers and obviously being a vanilla doesn't even clear you. Scare was useful but very limited. Like I pointed out there were only four total town roles that moved and two of them should have no reason to target scare if they're playing well. Plus town had a full time poison doc.

Their best two roles were bp roleblocker (obviously strong but fairly standard and nothing crazy) and Dany's role. The ninja vig was awesome, the double vote was obviously huge (but again not overpowered because town knew it was a scum vote - look how scared scum was to use it at all) but mostly for parity. The obliterate skill was very difficult to use and was mostly just there to let scum know "uh hey there might be something going on with the DVC".

Keep in mind scum had NO strongman and NO scanning. It may feel like it because of how good their kills were, but that was pure good play and detective work on their part (plus some luck)

Vs town who had watcher (very powerful and scum only has a one use ninja vig to counter - think how powerful watcher is in most games where roleblocker is alive and blocking claimed town power) and a rolecop (secondary scanning, but could confirm almost all of town's unique roles as being what that person claimed. Scum had vanilla for gf and town had ninja for miller, but rolecop tends to be more powerful than cop where innocent and guilty can be argued about more that "oh uh you scan as role swapper care to explain?")

Plus SBell with a permanent kill redirect AND a restriction free lawyer (that doesn't even kill him if he's wrong!). And Chris who was an every day jail keep or poison doctor. AND MI who had a double vote and could hide it so as to not draw attention to himself.

Not even to mention town's best role: Han. Han got killed because of his whole "yeah I'm just going to steamroll the scum team here" but if that got put on a different player it could be killer. Scum can't bury scans. They can't bury strong town voices. Imagine a scenario where they blind kill the rolecop or watcher on night 3 say, before they claim. Normally thats a "shucks three scans lost". Not if Han is alive. He gets those scans AND if scum knows who a scanner is, they have to effective roleblock + kill or obliterate to stop that from getting out.

If anything I thought scum might be underpowered!

The fact they were overpowered came from the fact it was literally red, plum, dowolf, Scare, and ben. Like, that's fucking overpowered right there. It was who they were and not what they were that decimated town.

Plus town gets no sympathy for lynching their literally claimed scanner day 3 with half the game dead and no scanners claimed.
