I'm not saying names yet because I want to hear from town about whether they think scum was there.

I had a really great theory that didn't pan out. I thought if there was a survivor in the neighborhood they could claim and if there was scum, too, they would claim. The two of them would vig me and then survivor would ally with mafia.

I am having a ton of trouble parsing this second paragraph, EFHW.

Imagine me as town, the second neighbor as scum, and the third neighbor as survivor.

Ok I think I get it. I was like “why would scum claim?” But I didn’t realize you meant within the neighborhood.

Dudet I am having so much issue with this line of reasoning, please correct me if I am misinterpreting anything:

1) Your plan is based on assuming your 3 person hood consists of 1 Skum, 1 Survivor, and yourself. You said some stuff went down that made you suspicious of skum... ok cool, fair enough. But how do you justify the leap from "it is me plus 2 others, and I am getting skummy vibes" to "there is exactly 1 skum, 1 survivor, and me and the survivor is gonna claim first followed by skum and then I solve the game"?

2) No one claimed, you were the first. So you were getting skummy vibes and basing the assumption behind it on the concept of skum/survivor claiming. Then no one claimed. So... where as I wanna say "that means you must think you have town people in your hood now", you claim kind of contradicts that.


Maybe I am just fucking up my interpretation - but can you explain to me what the  anticipated upside for Town is based on your claim?
Logged
Jesus how did i fuck that up
real good. That’s how
Town:  14 wins, 14 losses (1 MVP)
Skum: 7 wins, 7 losses (1 MVP)
3-Party: 4 wins, 1 loss

You misread. The second paragraph was all hypothetical and counter-factual.

The benefit for town is that given the scummy vibes I got, I think the neighborhood could be a good place to look for scum.

The sooner you out them, the faster we can start considering them.

Joth's one of them, and I suspect the other's pubby? Maaaaaybe ss/pps. So if I can figure this out surely scum can, I don't see why you would scumread them and not out them.

I suppose EFHW wouldn't suggest someone in it, but the way she said the second person didn't want Glooble and said nothing about joth seems like it would be joth. Just wild guessing, which is something scum can do better knowing 4 people that cannot be in the neighborhood. Regardless, scumreading neighbors is pointless if they aren't revealed.

The one I'm scumreading is DatSwan.  I'm being cautious because I have been mistakenly scumreading him for a few games now.

He's the 9ne who didn't suggest or object to anyone  and who was the strongest against claiming.

The other one was ashersky,  who was also against claiming.

So it's EFHW/ash/Swan... most likely they're 3 town, since I don't think any of them would pick survivor. Of these 3...yes, I suppose Swan's the scummiest, but I would sooner lynch EFHW...which revealed this information at my request. I think we just outed 3 town. Thank you EFHW.

I need to get a Glooble case ASAP.

If Datswan was the scummiest, why would you rather lynch me?

I'm really surprised by your reaction.  Usually you would take more time to go through each possibility.

I agree that choosing neighbor is probably a mistake.  But I think people in this group would find the idea appealing.

Ash said he wouldn't pick survivor (I completely trust him on that), you revealed the neighborhood (which is pointless for a survivor, since you determined why survivor isn't in the same neighborhood as scum with your crazy theory) and I doubt Swan's survivor for meta reasons, although I suppose he could be. So if you're either scum or town, I think you're all town because that's what I thought before you revealed.

Swan's "scummiest" because everyone has been scumreading them, which means scum!EFHW would love to give another reason to scumread him. But really I think you're all town.

Does anyone know a good scum!Glooble game? Because he hasn't gotten scum ever since he came back and I'm having a hard time metareading him.

I need to get a Glooble case ASAP.

I’m ready to vote: MiX finally. He’s admitting he doesn’t actually have a case on me - if he had one, he wouldn’t need to “get” one.

Town wants to find scum. Scum wants to “get a case” on whatever player they’ve decided is today’s easy mislynch.

Scum would've had a case a while ago...but fine, tell me how I can make a case without knowing how you act when you're scum. Everything I could point out as inconsistencies (scumreading Swan for no reason, going back to the other game to scumread Swan some more, saying ADK's also scum because he's lying even though scum's the least likely one to lie...hmm...I actually forgot about everything you did this game that was scummy, should've written it down) you can easily say you're playing differently or you can point at a town game where you do that.

The "easy mislynch" today's...oh yeah it's you. Unless enough people go for Swan(?) or something. Nevermind it's mcmc. So why am I wasting time with you?

Fine, but I'm also townreading all of them. I don't think any of them are scum.

Well, no, I didn’t. I didn’t want it known you were in it either.  At this point, town neighbors’ best role is to draw NKs away from remaining town PRs. Now, I can’t, and since I was townreading you, you can’t either. I think your claim was a mistake, but a town-reasoning-driven one.

I also noted Datswan didn’t suggest any targets. I was enjoying watching their posts as if they weren’t neighbor and I wondered where it would go.

Short probabilities post. Let's assume no 3d party neighbor. What is the probability p of having two additional town members? It depends on how many PRs scum picked. If it's ...

... 4, then p = 28.6%  (6 * 2/7 * 1/6)
... 3, then p = 14.3%  (3 * 2/7 * 1/6)
... 2, then p = 04.8%  (1 * 2/7 * 1/6)
... 1, then p = 00.0%

We could verify this via massclaim. That would give us additional information about how many PRs there are. But I don't think there's a world in which I don't want to lynch out of the neighborhood. Probably ash or DatSwan. Probably DatSwan.
