If they want to cooperate a little bit but don't want to reveal themselves, then VT. That's definitely better for us than PR.

So a scum-aligned 3rd party, be it a traitor or survivor who thinks mafia is the way to go can also mess with your plan, not just the actual scum? 

Cool. Cool cool cool.

In other news, a player who helps mafia is bad for town.

To be fair, survivor will pretty much always side with mafia if we mislynch today (and town gets NKd). It's not their fault either, we just enter a 5-5 if that happens. Then there's SK, which I suppose wouldn't do it but also cuts town's winrate by a lot, and traitor who has no choice.

So has everyone reached the "lynch outside the hood" scenario? Of those, who would we lynch? Can I remention our boy Glooble, sitting there scumreading Swan for literally nothing alignment indicative (and even pushing ADK for something from a previous game) all of day 1?

No. That depends on the survivor. Some survivors don't just have winning as a goal, but would rather win with town.

No no no. We lynch DatSwan or ash

Two people in the neighborhood said they wanted to lynch outside of the neighborhood and that swayed your opinion?

If they want to win, they'll...want to win. It's much safer. I'm not even going to attempt to see a scenario where someone doesn't take the winning move.

No, I always had this opinion.

Then that's literally playing against your own wincon, which is crappy at the least and super crappy at the worst.  It also makes it hard for town to know how to make the right play.

I'm getting a stronger and stronger feeling that SS is scum leading this game to a scum win.

A plan to out all town PRs with tons of holes in it pointed out by multiple players which he continually ignores.
Blatant mischaracterizations of some players' statements.
A seemingly misleading push to tie the PR outing plan to lynching within the neighborhood.

Remember, scum already knows everything.  Scum can plan accordingly, or even make the plan.  SS is posting like he already knows everything.

And yet, how will we know who that player is?  Oh right, we won't, which is why your you can't sufficiently account for it, or any other anti-town actions taken in your plan.

DatSwan and  I thought you said it, too, but I could be wrong.

Whether or not you disapprove of it, there are people who don't just play for their own wincon as survivor. I know because I'm one of them. This is documented.

The reason I'm not laying out in detail how creating buckets benefits town is that I would have to go in detail and that might help scum make better decisions during the massclaim.

The benefits should really be obvious. You guys have all played mafia before. We get claims, we analyze them, we find things that are suspicious. Most of the time scum doesn't play perfectly and claims themselves into a bad scenario. Most likely we end up with a situation where we have several subsets of players and can say with fairly high confidence that one scum is in each. We find them, we get ICs. There's a reason why sensor is never used; creating these kinds of sets is too strong for PR.

I admit that I have considered you being scum based on not seeing that claiming is a good idea, but the more benign explanation is that your intuition is wrong.

I both like claims in general and readily concede that there are benefits to your claiming plan.

My contention (intuition) is that this specific plan (VT/not-VT claiming) is too easily manipulated by scum AND an unknown third party (unless you are the survivor who wants to win with town even if that means you lose, so that's why you feel so sure?).

Do you see any world in which you want to lynch anyone from outside the hood?  Because if not, there's no reason to claim, as there are no possible counterclaims, so nothing to really lynch on.

So those are my points.  Seems too easily manipulated and seems to have no impact on a neighborhood lynch.  It's probably has some utility if we are lynching outside of the hood?  But I doubt it.

At any rate, you definitely don't have consensus, right or wrong.  I assume more voices will come?  Or lurkers will just lurk it out.

There's 5 people fakeclaiming. We don't know how many PRs there are, but scum does. Groups will most likely have more than 1 scum in them. We can't fully determine how much scum are in each group unless they seriously screw it up. This basically gives scum a bunch of information while giving town very little to work with. I can't see how this seperation of players helps lynching scum.

clearly, there is no unity on the claiming plan, so we don't claim today. Let's just lynch whoever is scummiest then.

ash or datswan. I'll tell you after an ISO of datswan that will occur at an uknonwn point before the deadline.

MiX seems towny today, mostly due to SS.  That's...so strange.

I was scumreading from D1 into N1.

Maybe it's the overt sheeping/lack of self-confidence in the MiX posts recently?

I found MiX scummy day 1, but I gave him a pass because I *always* scumread him, and he wasn't acting significantly *more* scummy than the baseline.

Today he's been giving off an even scummier vibe, so I've decided just to go with my gut.

All this math stuff is giving me a bit of a headache, but I'm not particularly scumreading anyone in the neighborhood right now, so I guess I'm in favor of lynching outside the hood just sort of by default.

Ok but, does scum actually ever do this? I feel like I am very susceptible to suspecting that a town person who is leading is scum... but I can’t recall ever actually seeing it. IRL, scum is almost always sitting back and playing reactively, since it’s so hard to know how town will react to a claiming plan.

And furthermore, “claim pushing is scummy” isn’t an argument I’d expect from town!ash who is usually such a grounded realist when I suggest that scum is doing a crazy gambit. So that post really makes me want to vote: ash.

I still think that if there turns out to be scum in the neighborhood I want to lynch MiX next.

I'm against claiming *and* against lynching in hood. So what do you mean by this?

Isn't it easier to lynch non-town outside the hood regardless? There's at least 3 scum out of 9 here, sounds better than hood. And scum would just start "scumreading" someone in it? You know, like what you're doing? But I like your case.
