Cuz like your opener feels like you are not talking to a stranger at all. It feels like you're talking to someone that you're already good friends with and one of the main things I can't reconcile in your play is why you opened on me the way that you did. Understanding the context for that would make this game a lot more understandable.
Why read my games though? What are/were your thoughts on me?2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

Coming out with confidence is the only possible way I could have pushed you there imo. I'm good at faking confidence. Not to mention this would be my first proper game of mafia ever and I was replacing my idol Transcend so the last thing I wanted to do was half-ass it. I actually had a completely different opener written before I decided to scrap it and go all-out on the push on you. PM from Pine told me I wasn't exactly sitting pretty so I knew I had to do something out of the ordinary to make any kind of positive impression on the game.
I read your games because you're a good player and I wanted to learn. I like your playstyle, it's interesting. I explicitly avoided reading much of players with fairly vanilla play. You have a few caveats in your game that other players don't have and your fundamentals are good. Your scumgame is better than your towngame because when you're scum you're pulling all the strings. When you're Town you have to actually gain the confidence of others and you can't let them in to what you're doing behind the scenes, which is where the most interesting and meaningful parts of your play are. Reading games is the only way I have to learn outside of my games and as a newbie my newbie games weren't enough. Pine as IC was really helpful but that was only post-game / dead thread and I'm a lot hungrier than that. Other players I read most heavily were Transcend, RedCoyote and kmd.

If I know anything about voting patterns then 1 of {Grendel, Keyser, mbg, Sheep} should be scum and 1 of {Akarin, Rauthedir} should be scum.

The speed of the gerryoat wagon tells me there were likely 2 scum on board.
This means that 1 of {Grendel, LUV} is likely scum.In post 662, Pine wrote:[L-1]gerryoat-RadiantCowbells,Alisae,Grendel,Lil Uzi Vert,Transcend,JarJarDrinks
This tells me that there is very likely at least 1 scum bussing. Because LUV is the counterwagon, it is very unlikely that LUV is scum. This leaves {Akarin, Grendel, Fro99er}.In post 1472, Pine wrote:==> Vote Count 2.6 <==

Since I have {Grendel, LUV} as the scumspects on the gerryoat wagon and LUV is counterwagon to JJD, we can provisionally rule LUV out. Which leaves Grendel.
To return to the original hypothesis, if 1 of {Grendel, Keyser, mbg, Sheep} should be scum and 1 of {Akarin, Rauthedir} should be scum, then Grendel is scum and Rautherdir is scum.
If you are keen to vote in PRs, vote Rautherdir. If you are keen to vote in VTs, vote Grendel. If you disagree with any of the above, tell me why/where/etc.

This is what I've said all along.In post 3057, nancy wrote:If you don't believe 2 scum were bussing then you have to rule out a ton of pairings and there is 1 scum {mbg, Keyser}.
There has to be 1 scum in MBG keyser.
I don't think it's keyser."I officially announce Fro99er the king of guilties because this is the second time he has guiltied a slot I was really unsure about.

So can anyone remind me why they're voting for mbg? The NK doesn't make any fucking sense with mbg as scum. This isn't difficult to understand. If you're so intent on lynching a PR then lynch Rauth.

I just finished a game where we had 4 JOATs alive for a MyLo. I don't know what is considered balanced.
The only thing I do know is that usually the trend is that for "heavy" town power, there is an counteracting "scum" power.
The 4 JOAT game, that was 3 town and a 1 scum JOAT. Balanced.
Then when I played in the Hunger Games 2, there were hiders/doctors and the sort and the scum team had X-shot strongmans.
Set up spec I'd say since there is a heavy amount of investigative, that would go towards the roleblocking area or scum are ascetic in order for this to pass a normal review.“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

Oh and nancy, if you're dying to learn shit, send mastina a PM, she will hit you up with loads of knowledge as she's a self-proclaimed teacher. I learned so much from her and just ugh, it's amazing. I have half of her works as bookmarks and I reread like once a week >_>“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

We never no lynch. But if we lynch in VTs and scum kill in VTs, we get a result from one or more PRs.
With Cop/BP/JK/MD scum doesn't have a RB or a JOAT, possibly has a Rolecop.
With Cop/Backup Cop/BP/MD scum doesn't have a RB but maybe has a JOAT.
With Cop/Backup COp/BP/JK scum could have RB or JOAT.
I'd love to hit her up with a PM but I'm like.. what right do I have to waste her time lol.

Also if you believe Cop/Backup Cop/BP/JK then adding MD to that really isn't a big deal. It could even be more balanced if you think scum power +daytalk is going to overpower Town. Highly doubt more than 1 scum PR. I kind of like MD in this setup honestly because of the WIFOM it gives combined with BP/JK.
Also I TR Gin.

Ok, if we can afford 'misslynches', we lynch in the VT pool. Obviously to break this game we will need to make a big step today (and this obviously puts my name in the line of potential VT lynches).
The night phaseshouldsurely resolve the remaining 4 claimed PRs, or at least give us some information on if they think the claimed PR's are a threat.
I agree that on paper the no NK can be best explained as someone protecting the backup cop - this is the obvious conclusion.
Thus, it will be too much of a gamble to lynch the claimed town jailkeeper TODAY.
Side question: Pine called this game the Death Trap (he wanted to put us through pain for his own pleasure) - perhaps all this WIFOM was his design.

Yeah we can afford mislynches. We have to pick whichever slot gives us the best PoE basically. I kind of doubt you're in anyone's lynch pool honestly.
I've kind of ruled out Sheep from being likely scum by VCA so I'm basically locked on Grendel today. It's a good infolynch if nothing else. ThinkBig and I are the other most popular VT lynches last I checked.
And yeah Pine is pure Slytherin evil, don't let him tell you otherwise!! Just look at that avatar.
