I picked it because it’s my ambulance identifier for the agency.In post 37, implosion wrote:I am curious why Mala and Aristeia both have large powers of 2 (really it's quite impressive that 9/14 players submitted some power of 2 but almost certainly not meaningful)No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

From the chart, it seems like it doesn't seem to matter massively on what numbers/powers specifically the scum team chose (even when scum only has one not blocked, it doesn't seem to massively affect win rate. Town have. Also seemed to win when a lot of numbers cancell out, but that info isn't great without knowing who submitted what choice and knocked each other out first.
I'm not really sure of the point of Ari's numbers question. I guess you can vaguely say 1,2 and 6 are 'scummy' numbers but it mainly feels like noise generation.-

This is the best non-answer I’ve seen out of the responses, personallyIn post 24, Save The Dragons wrote:

Let's all write down which three numbers we would submit if we were running a scum team.
I will explain after everyone writes down their numbers how this will help us.
I will go first.

I was looking at earlier drafts from the wiki page to try and win this draft (2 gets picked surprisingly rarely) and I found that people who pick high numbers are scum surprisingly often, like about 50% of the time iirc. In recent games, I think skitter and saskeismyyaoikismesis were the only ones to pick >20 numbers, and both flipped scum. The fact that so many people did it in this game (usually there's only 1 or 2) makes me suspiciousIn post 11, Aristeia wrote:I'm townbinning everyone with a number above 100

if I were to pick the mafia draft I'd go something like 1, 19, 51

well actually a town did apparently pick 21 recently I missed that one, I think my point still makes sense though
Why do you think it isn't meaningful? I know it's difficult to draw concrete conclusions but isn't it at least worth looking at during RVS? It seems like a major anomaly to meIn post 40, implosion wrote:I think this is actually the fewest number collisions that have ever happened in the draft in this setup - out of the 17 other runs of the game I see one that had 5 people colliding and one that had 6, but this takes the cake with only 4, and most of them had like... in the vicinity of 8-9 people who picked the same number as someone else.
This could theoretically be meaningful in some useful way but probably isn't.No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.-

Well I am using the chart that Andante posted in the previous PYP game.
It shows that out of 39 scum selections in 13 games - only one time has scum ever picked a number that is above 100 - I do not think the scum team would give up so much picking power to the townside and send more than 1 person to 100+ in number.
As we happen to have 4 players picking numbers above 100, I believe it is likely we have at most 1 scum and possibly none at all and it's a fairly fun way to narrow POE early.-

I guess if you analyze the data another way, there have only been two large numbers [above 100] picked in 13 games and once it was mafia and once it was town so in a way you could say it's roughly 50/50 from that POV.
However strategically speaking I don't think it makes a lot of sense to have multiple mafia players pick large numbers. I guess it could be wifomy in a way.-

Why change to numbers that were picked? I don’t think anyone else submitted like that and you’re the one running the exercise. You’re the one making the rules!In post 70, Aristeia wrote:
