Regarding a mass claim: I don't think I've ever actually played a game where a D1 massclaim happened but I see how it could not be terrible here though. What is the main benefit town gets from it? Is it just that we hold people accountable and people get better information on who they should be targetting?

Yes, at least I can't see anything else.

My district partner is town

Vote: ADK

That’s a whole heap of certainty. Why so sure?

vote: EFHW

Let's play this game: who feels like they were or weren't able able to get some sort of read on their district partner?

My district partner is town

Vote: ADK

this doesn't feel like a random vote, what's your thinking?

Basically same as you.

I think asking the question is fine, just answer it yourself

I did

That's what I get for not reading carefully enough.

Could you highlight the post for me?

What I meant with 2 is that we have had town claim their roles inaccurately. Scum can always lie.

This is usually me, and it is always unintentional, and a result of clever names for PRs and not really understanding shorthand, etc. I think if there is a mass claim, this problem might be attenuated by the larger conversation.

What information are we thinking about claiming? Draft order and if we got our item in round one or two? Or more than that?

I’m also not sure how MiX has this certain of a cayvie-o meter after one game when she was town and he was not.

I was reading people too (which was necessary to see who was what PR) and I noticed cayvie was unbelievably towny. Which is the opposite of this game, at least now.

My own original thoughts: faust's scummy for thinking cayvie's town, Lekkit is a great human being but why should I share my read on them specifically? And I think claiming to your district bud the item (but not the PR that comes with it) is good now. A fullclaim should come D2, I believe.
Yes, people who disagree with you are always the scumsters.

What does an item (but not PR) claim accomplish in your opinion?

Accountability, mostly. Locks scum into a few fakeclaims instead of all of them. Probably a bad idea to do so publically now that I think about it...

For example, an item their scumpartner got. Or they know what hasn't been picked, I don't know.

So if one scum flips we know who the other is? That's a risk I'm willing to take.

And everything has been picked, there are no leftovers.

Hold on... I just kinda figured the number of items equals the number of players, apparently not. Well, there's a point to this then. If scum knows what hasn't been picked for some reason.

i am not going to participate in a massclaim today.

And everything has been picked, there are no leftovers.

do you get why i don't want people to claim whether they got something in the second run, now?

people who didn't get their first pick of item know for certain two things.

1) some subset of items that are in the game

and

2) the number of players who drafted in the first/secound rounds (based on how many items are missing from the list we had to choose from).

i think, based on my info, that the answer to 2 makes it plausible that scum don't have the answer to either question. i.e., that some subset of town has setting information that scum does not. and i think it makes no sense to potentially give up that information day 1 for negligible benefit.

I think town!Glooble pointing to something as a scum tell and then shortly thereafter doing that thing is a lot more likely than scum!Glooble doing that.

If at least one scum didn't get first pick, then they know what the missing items are. This seems very likely, but not guaranteed, as you said. Are you willing to gamble that scum doesn't have this information?

Wait, how many items are there?

Cayvie's making a lot of sense to me. MiX, can you explain your scumread on her?

Hmm, I already did? It's not more than what I said before. Her approach to things seems different, not sure I can explain it better.
