So for a NAI opening I’m planning on creating a plan for us to improve the villaging bar and to avoid the mistakes that happened in JJBA and Anime and instead we’ll play this like NDFM, so in short, here’s what we’re going to do.
A) We are going to create a shots list and stick to it.
I don’t mean blindly adhering to it without re-evaluating, I mean that nobody here is going to hero shoot as it overwhelmingly kills villagers and gives the wolves an excuse to shoot in the towncore. We’ll be periodically re-evaluating our reads and whatnot throughout the match.
B) We are not going to slank.
Anyone who has a very small postcount will be automatically added to the shotlist as we can’t read slankers. This is one of the main reasons why we had way too many villagers in the shotlist in Anime FM as it allowed the actual wolves like Ici and Lendun to hide behind the lowposting villagers.
C) We are not going to mechanically clear people.
Unless you’re an IC, a mason, or greenchecked, then mechanics will not clear you. Wolf-aligned trackers can exist, wolf-aligned double voters can exist, wolf-aligned gladiators can exist. Point is, we’re not going to do like in LotR where we cleared two wolves for being a double-voter and a medium. So your doctor claim will not take you out of the shotlist.
D) Everyone will make reads in the first day.
Same reason as B. The bar to village here will be raised in order to make the shotlist as accurate as possible. I will not accept meta defenses here where you will be excused from making reads just because you don’t typically do them regardless of your alignment. If you can’t name your top three villagers and top three wolves at EoD1 and give a reasoning why, you’ll go to the shot list.
E) We will not claim for no reason.
Unless you’re an IC/Mason under pressure or a cop with a redcheck, then don’t out. We have no idea how is the anti-claim mechanic this match so in order to minimize wolf KP or prevent them from circumventing our night actions then we’re not going to claim nor make night plans. Just check nulls, protect the towncore, and vig in the shotlist.
F) Vigs should follow the shotlists as well.
Ideally Vigs should shoot the CW of a mislynch wagon, but if this is not applicable then just shoot in the shotlist. Don’t hero shoot a consensus village as this is what caused the town to lose SFV.
G) Everyone should have a vote cast by EoD.
Ideally we have this for better analysis of wagonomics.
F again) For the Mafia
tl;dr - Let’s actually play well this match.
no one picked up on this shit
