Election! Scum PT

[Datisi]

well, each ability can only be used once, so...

also, i just realized, the player count is on evens. there's probably some sorta vigilante in the joats.

Nice to come back to the site to a win.

Lol I'm gunna stop meching now.

Good catch about the vig.

[Datisi]

anyone understands how the treasurer power works when it seems like they submit during the day and we sabotage them during the night?

[Datisi]

Sabotage the Treasurer: The treasurers budget is limited by 25% on this night.

^^ this part specifically. "on this night"

@shea clarify pls

[Thestatusquo]

They are unaware of the limit and the numbers they submit are diminished by 25%.

Right, so shea closed the loopholes that were the basis for an optimal town strat I saw on my first page through.

It's confirmed that other than the roles in the OP the town is vanilla, and the town roles are %random based on treasurer. That means that this town is slightly underpowered on the face of things before the hidden roles are taken into account. That jives with Shea's mod philosophy.

Roles:

Sheriff: Persistent cop

Probably our biggest threat. A cop every night, and nothing to be done to stop it. We can kill the user, but the role doesn't go away. This is particularly scary if town figures out the best way to use it (a double cop) and there's not really a chance I could not figure that out. I'll have to look at the player list to see if I think I can get away with that, but my gut says no. Depending on player list, at least 2/4 of us are very likely cop targets.

Treasurer: This is a trap. It is crazy high value as a scum pickup, but also very likely to get the scum using it to get caught.

Mayor/CM: JOAT. Given no protective, there is likely a protective role somewhere in this bundle. Probably second largest target.

My power is flicking out and on so I'm going to post this but I have more thoughts to share soon.

Also, shea, this isn't actually a semi open. A semi open is a setup that has all knowledge about potential setups public, but which setup is in use is secret. This is a closed smalltown.

[Datisi]

bingle, i better be included in that 2/4 or i'm tunelling you as soon as d1 starts

[Datisi]

what's the double cop strat?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'd like to take Treasurer because it gives me the power to open wolf and decide things. People want to listen to the person who controls the money flow. I won't ever lie about that money flow. I'll just be the town leader who drives them off a cliff and eventually dies. Or maybe I don't die who knows.

[Bingle]

you and lld. I'm super rusty and might duck through on the grounds that I literally haven't played a hidden info game in more than a year, but both of you are among the first targets.

I don't remember Meowth, so I can't comment on likelihood of being copped. Luckily pooky is also a good cop target, but I don't see a name that competes with you three on the list for a night one cop.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Oh we should 100% sabotage the cop. Or kill them. But try to be majority support for them and then murder them.

holy fucking bingle

[Datisi]

lld, you were there for the HoD, any ideas what role i should try to grab?

Cop.

[Datisi]

screaming crying throwing up

[Datisi]

k fine i will do it

should i just yolo nominate myself for that as soon as the day starts or shortly thereafter

[Bingle]

10000% yes. ASAP, preferably before I get to post.

The best way to do this would be to focus on getting reads primarily first, and when someone eventually asks you what you want role wise (either manufactured by us or naturally) you say you want to be Cop because you want to either force the scumteam to shoot you or die to prove your results, and that being in HoD showed you how powerful that could have been if you WERE town and could have cleared 3 townies.

And then I, not connected to this in anyway, can support you and go "so we'll kill Datisi when it matters, but I kind of doubt Datisi wants to be scum cop again after the stress of the prior game".

And at that point whether you become cop or not is irrelevant, because it's a free way to townread you.

Nah, I'm ace. Fucking is pretty much the only contraindicated activity.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

[Datisi]

alright i can do that. though keep in mind that we select a new cop every cycle, it's not like in HoD where you're appointed until death.

i'm trying to think whether town-me would yolonom and whether i can get away with it... god i haven't seen towntisi in so long i don't remember
