*confused in not American*
the most important thing to know about baseball is that there's a ten second delay between anything exciting happening in the game and the crowd in the stadium reacting to it. the reason for this is that baseball is a comically uninteresting game where basically nothing happens 99% of the time, so no one is actually watching when it does happen. when tommy edman hits his first homer, everyone in the stands will be drinking beer and eating peanuts and looking at their phones. a live commentator will excitedly say the words "home run" and the whole crowd will start hooting and hollering and pretending they know who's at bat. except for one guy who brought his own custom-printed notepad that he's using to manually write down the statistics of the game. he's having a blast. he'll excitedly turn to one of the fellas he came to the game with and start explaining the concept of wins above replacement

the most important thing to know about baseball is that nobody watches the game unless they're trying to fall asleep.

I've been to over 700 baseball games in my life and most of the time I just chill with your friends and drink unreasonable amounts of beer while waiting for the beautiful sound of bats cracking in the summer air

I can't imagine how bored you must be in real life to be entertained by baseball

like how many times can you watch the pitcher throw to first base to try to get the runner out before you're like wow what a bad sport

this setup is 14 townies versus 5 mafia

this means we have 8 mislims before its 6 townies versus 5 mafia and that's elo

for every mafia we eliminate - we gain an additional mislim
for every time Tommy Edman homers, we lose a mislim

the ideal way to play this setup is with maximum velocity and no mercy for the scum

I guess you could argue since Schadd is only blasting the scummiest of the town that it's not really a lost mislim but I don't trust schadd's reads

Admitting I don't know enough about Koba's play here. Enu says we looked into it at one point, but I have no recollection of that and I disdain meta as a rule anyway.

Pooky being the first to bring up the absurdity of the numbers first could go either way, but early-lock on Koba sounds town-Pooky-ish to me. Granted, that's really thin and meta-based and I hate myself for saying it, but I'm in the middle of developing a new playstyle with the aid of my system, so I'm gonna do some real weak shit in the meantime.
199-member plural system. We kinda exploded. We'll sign if we switch, but it's a host-centric setup round here now.

It/its pronouns only.

I don't know why I'm so low. I'm waiting on valuable information. There's one and only one player who can post in a meaningful way right now. Might as well shitpost with the rest of the weirdoes while I wait.

Also, if you could explain your thoughts on HPE being bottomed out, I'd appreciate it.
