I believe what mole meant to say was “not with that attitude they won’t”

that’s not happening

Kinda.

My view of WoW fm was that as a whole, town was OK. It was just individuals dragged down the average of town so much.

we haven’t had a single game where everyone has tried

do I think that’s going to change?
NOPE

I think we need to start making setups townsided

So you mean like FOL2/3 lol

We also need to stop adding NKs to setups

last time i did that you yelled at me

That rand wasn’t townsided, it was broken

how else would town win

Most of the town wins on this site must be from scum conceding
And the times when a setup isn’t absurdly crumbling scum stomps
So we need to find a middle ground

If there was a scale of 1 > 10, with 1 being ultra scumsided and 10 being ultra townsided

We need to start making setups a 6.5 > 7

i might be wrong here (pinging @arete to verify since they’re more of a setup balance nerd)

but like

so lets say a setup is a 3

since town is the majority, town have a higher chance of winning a 3 (-2) than scum have a chance of winning a 7 (+2)

i think

I have no idea what you’re saying

okay

i think town have a higher chance of winning a scumsided setup than scum have winning a townsided setup

although this is assuming that the sidedness of a setup is objective, which it isn’t

so shrug

i actually remember reading an article on MU about balancing games

and it mentioned how a game considered balanced on MU is vastly different to a game considered balanced on a site like MS

the examples given made it sound like MS needed to run more townsided setups for town to have a chance

which is probably a thing that applies here lol

I think Kyo’s numbers are pretty arbitrary here

like it’s not like a 4 on Kyo’s scale corresponds to a specific amount of scumsidedness

it’s just

a 4

i might be forgetting some games

but im p sure that generally this site does fine in vanilla games

granted i can only think of 4

I suggest we replace a vanilla role in every vanilla setup with a desperado to start making things townsided more
