okay look
I’m probably dead tonight so here’s how we’re going to do ITAs tomorrow
this is mostly based off of playing in + watching games happen on other sites
Good Ways to Use Shots
- if we have any outed wolves off of mechanics or whatever, they always go on the shot list. duh.
- Anyone who’s been generally wolfy goes on the shot list.
- PoEish people/slankers go on the shot list.
- Ideally, the shot lists include actual lists. Giving specific lists is a tactic that I’ve seen be highly effective on other sites, since it makes it easier to coordinate shots among people who aren’t reading the thread.
Hero shots
- These are bad and we shouldn’t do them
- Most of the time your hero shot will be wrong. Yes, we can point to specific examples of times when, like, Ici hero-shot greenpeeked PKR, or whatever, but in the majority of cases, your hero shot will not be correct and all it will accomplish is killing a towncore player.
- Even if someone’s hero shot is right, shooting in the PoE is still going to be better in most circumstances at hitting scum (imagine a towncore of 6 people with 1 deepwolf, vs. a PoE of 10 players half of whome are wolves and half of whom are villagers)
- Additionally, villagers taking hero shots gives scum license to take hero shots while blending in, which lets them turn ITAs into wolf KP.
Revenge shots (for decent kills)
- So remember in JoJo when we had a PoE that included a mix of wolves and PoE villagers? and then other villagers shot at the PoE villagers, and as soon as someone hit everyone immediately turned around and tried to kill them? that was bad. don’t do that.
- if someone is shooting at PoE people who are on consensus shot lists, we shouldn’t automatically kill them just because they happened to successfully land a shot and it happened to land on town.
If you are high on the shot list and can clear yourself
- Do that.
If you aren’t sure where to shoot
- Consult with the thread first.
