PSY_WOMBATS'S PROFILE

Well this was a lot of fun, if weighted a bit towards scum. 12 players 3 scum is like 80% scum winrate with blind lynches and no true power roles. I'm not sure /every/ town having a power actually helps counteract that because scum has powers as well, can cooperate a lot more easily, and aren't firing wildly at each other.

Best moment for me this game was IF flipping scum, knew it could only devolve into comedy after that. Too bad the double lynch didn't work out. I thought that would've gotten piano killed immediately for suggesting it.

@SZandex: Thanks for your thoughts. Please stick around especially for the end of the day. There's a (small) chance that your vote will be necessary to break a scum voting block, in which case, we can't win the game without you. One last question: why didn't you mention the suspicious package yesterday? It would've indicated that piano was lying (or just forgot, as he says).

So about the "arming" theory: piano was being honest when he said his item has no drawbacks, then only chooses to send it last night, to open up Liberty. To avoid suspicion, he claims that it's a hot potato item and that he passed it to an unsuspicious scum partner. I don't like this as much because SZandex had no attention on him until now and putting a partner in danger is not something I'd think scum-piano would be likely to do.

@Ratty: Don't get trigger happy. That was very explicitly a "show up and start talking" vote and not an invitation for a hammer. Who do you think is scum? Without my voting for them first. You mentioned you thought Kloe was clear because IF "flipped town," would be interested in elaboration.

@Dudesoft: I played scum with Ratty a game or two ago and he went super erratic when Kloe (other scum) was cornered. Like he almost died because he backed her up so much, even when I was yelling at him to bail when it was clear she was toast. Unless he took the complete wrong lesson from the whole thing and "double down on defense when my team is under pressure," I don't know what scum-Ratty was playing with IF. It'd be the same mistake, again, but even bigger. It doesn't at all clear him, but but it's kept him lower on my radar than it normally would.

I'm still on Kloe. Scum are just as capable of crumbling under pressure. Last game Marrend got himself modkilled when suspicion was on him and ratty browbeat sooz pretty excessively.

Keep in mind that scum could 1) roleblock whoever's blocking the victim 2) cast protect on the victim 3) do some other crazy play before that can happen. Unless you chose an innocent to take the bomb, in which case they'd let it go through. It's the same problem last game as Frogge: scum only has to bother to block if you target scum. We'd have to bank on the remaining mafia not having a block or interference power, but either a Kloe-flavor or IF-flavor lethal/nonlethal block would work.

Liberty I'm actually kind of worried now that you've announced that. scum-Dudesoft could use his power on you tonight and you'd be dead. Kloe could probably also kill you like that.

@Dudesoft is there anything preventing you from giving the vote to the same person twice in a row, etc?

Also how the hell did everyone target cave on the first night? So far three people have admitted it, and he was nightkilled. I guess Kloe/IF locking him down was probably intentional though.

Like a hot potato? I assumed he'd "armed" the bomb and then mailed it to you last night. Then it's not technically a detriment... it's just him trying to neutralize you.

re: double nightkill, not sure what's up. It sure reads like mafia just straight up killed two people. Gourd had triggered none of my scum-alarms and Blob just had that weird conflict on day 1, but nowhere near something I'd think a smart vigilante would be going after.
