TL;DR boldedSo I have some time today to do some reading and catching up, so it's time for some reads (since I'm going back and reading more closely, I'm also going to give opinions on people's plans):
Archetype: First one to bring in the idea of claiming. Brings up good point that claiming day can give scum a free pass. Sticking to his guns, and giving reasons. However, I'm not sure about his vote on nkirbit... And he never seems to explain it, even after "leaning towards no massclaim" as nkirbit suggested.
Read: very slight scumyuma: Good advice telling people to not claim willy-nilly, makes a good point about faust not moving his vote. Keeping his vote on yuma at this point isn't doing any good. Otherwise speaking sense.
Read: null to slight townJimmmm: on board with claiming when their death cannot stop their power. Good advice to make sure town knows the setup, could have been a little more helpful by laying out exactly what we should know, but it's fine. Kind of feels like he's buddying yuma.
I agree with Jimmmm that PPS posts were kind of difficult to understand.
Read: nullfaust: proposes everyone claim cop/doc today, I think the best part of this plan is that scum has to fake-claim today, reducing their flexibility. I'm not sure what to take away from his immediate jumping on yuma, I'm not sure why playing the setup before means you need original thoughts. He is the first to specify that people should not claim their nights, which I think is very good. Comes up with the plan "If my shot was tonight I would have targeted XXX" Which I think is a pretty good plan. It allows for deduction of what happened at night, but does not give scum all the information. Plus, it causes them to make more fakeclaims.
Don't like his "evidence" of chairs not being scum (like yuma), seems like he is looking for any excuse to get people on his side.
Read: slight townPPS: Vote on Robz is fine, I'm assuming it's to make him post some more... But you know, it could just be because Robz is Robz... I think some of the hubub around him has been a misunderstanding, specifically this post:
which seems to be a thought that has 12 steps of background he did in his head and jumped to the conclusion he wrote down (I do this all the time in real life... It can get awkward...). He is quite quick to jump down Jimmmm's and faust's throats. Not a fan. He does explain his thought process, and while I think it is flawed, that gives me a null read (both town and scum can be wrong).
This scenario will never come to pass. Reasons:
- you assume only docs die until D3. That would mean that town lynches claimed docs twice, which is something we can prevent.
It is patently obvious that I assume at least one successful Mafia lynch.
it wasn't obvious to me until I re-read it at least twice. I don't like your condescension. It's not helping town. Getting inflamed is often, in my experience, a town trait, but I've never played with PPS.
Read: slight scumVolt: The lack of presence is somewhat disconcerting to me. He was quite vocal and making waves in Modern Community (where we were town best-friends) and he doesn't seem to be doing that here. Slight scum read for not making waves. Probably not good to base my read off one game, but that's all I got. I really don't understand this rolling plan...
Read: slight scumnkirbit: speaks sense. However, not much going on w/ him
Read: null scott_pilgrim: Null, not really getting anything on him. (side note: Oooh, where do you go to school in the east? I'm in PA)
Read: nullTA: also speaks sense, and makes a good point about PPS: someone being wrong on theory doesn't make them scummy. He's actually putting reads out there already and not just talking straight theory (he does talk plenty of theory, but really, he's the only one putting out reads up to Pg 9.)
Read: townEevee: only thinks cops with results claim. Otherwise, not seeing much
Read: nullRobz: He needs to show up...
Read: nullchairs: see Robz
Read: nullI don't think I missed anyone... but that's what I have so far. As far as plans go: cops should claim on positive scum result. Docs: never claim. see: nkirbit and TA's arguments.
