Pretty much. If you have slanking wolves in your team then they will just end up giving town info and defending them will make you look bad. This is pretty much why I distance and bus a lot.

Speaking of which, @Emilia I think you could become a really dangerous player if you were more forceful and tried to gain more of a thread presence. You had some very good townreads this game, and the read on Dat D1 was accurate.

Said by the person who proceeded to claim redirector, when redirection was my primary night ability.

…Hmm.
I suppose this is something to note for my next scum game, if it ever comes.

@Kirefitten So in the end, was this game a social experiment or not?
This is the first time I played a full game with you after you decided to improve. You were really fun to play with.

Also I’ve noticed some really strange scumtells of mine.

  1. I’m really, really hypocritical as scum for some reason.
  2. I ping a lot of people very often.

Weird scumtells, but they were not there in my town game. I suppose this is something I should fix aside from the obvious issue - hedging.

That’s the thing that baffled me throughout the game, actually. The ‘dies to claimvig’ part. The only reason we didn’t claimvig Alice was because we could mislynch her slot, and we eventually did.
I’m… still not sure what Alice wanted to do about the claimvig.

I think that applies to everyone, at least if you don’t have much experience being scum.

Also, I’m apparently better at being scum than being town.
Probably just because it was a turbo, but who knows.

Me D2 and most of the time after.

Proceeds to convert Sulit after getting bussed a few days later.
I suppose that by doing this, I rewarded replacing into a slot and doing a better job with it than the previous player.

Also I genuinely feel bad for @MaximusPrime.
Reading through the low posters, trying to find anyone who fit the requirements of the vig, only to realize nobody was a permitted target… it must have been a truly annoying experience.
In a game of this volume, I think I would go for something like 2% of thread volume throughout the day.

I have fun playing scum tho

Yeah, I like not being town more than being town, but it’s still stressful.

if u bussed 2 scum that would’ve been more sus imo

or at least i would’ve been more sus

no, I was saying the hosts made it a social experiment

I played here like I usually do when I try, except I got caught up in the mechanics rather then focusing on reads. Lot of stuff happened this game that messed up the flow of this game

yea in the beginning and was sad af bc the only way i was gonna be able to vig someone was if they literally did nothing and luxy wouldn’t change it

it was so bad smh

20 is way too little, tbh.

I usually set the posting minimum to 40*Nights at least.

I copied ur slank vig mechanic from owfm which had 28 players :man_shrugging:

Ouch

efea

This post in scumchat aged like fine wine considering how Icibalus got lynched.

The problem with the slank vig was that the slankers posted above the limit… but without much meaningful content. Therefore, in effect they were still useless, but had just enough volume to be unviggable.

There is no perfect way to define a slank vig’s restrictions, I think. That said, I wonder if it would be fair to introduce something along the lines of:

“You can vig any of the three lowest posters during the previous day.”

It would be unfair if nobody was slanking, but we all know that is never the case. Of course, it would need to be nerfed closer to LyLo.
