Or does anyone have the link to Resistance? I haven't read it. Based on the fact that Acro had the same though as me and from our last game together I would currently, put him in my team, along with Acro I would add Marv (come on, wouldn't you?) and as third player I would chose Hapa. Hapa is a guy who over many games I have come to like and respect though I once hated him. He is a great town player and a kinda crappy scum player, seems like the right guy to have along for the ride. TL:DR My team: Acro, Marv, Hapa I'm curious if putting one player who seems like a liability (one of the guys known for trolling or one of the smurfs) onto the team so that we can get a read on them from their actions makes sense? It seems like we won't have lynches but knowing who scum is/is not will help town players direct any and all actions which they have and i assume making sure that non-town players not being on the quest team will be a good thing for us as the OP specifies that they can make it more difficult to achieve our objectives. I actually really like the bolded idea, especially if the party leader explicitly says which of their party they're picking as the "liability" and why. Personally, I think this could be a good way to get reads on people like Marv and Toad who are notoriously hard to pin down. fyi to the thread, I'm supposed to be at work in ten minutes (lol) but I'll be reading through the thread as the afternoon goes on and I'll be posting my reactions to things I see like this. | ||

Just got lynched in my other game so can focus on this starting tomorrow. I nominate myself as our heroic leader because almost everyone here doesn't know me. That way you won't be fooled by people playing wifom games with their meta! this is probably a joke/troll post but if he's serious this is some terrible logic | ||

My party selection will be as following: I will choose 3 of the less known players who I read as town at the end of the day to compose the party. The reasoning is that this mechanic will greatly favor town in attempting to confirm players. This is better done for players less likely to get shot for 2 reasons: 1) They have less meta information available on them therefore harder to read. 2) Vets/Well known players are likely to get killed n1 if they are town, even more so given a successful mission, mitigating some of the advantage town might get. This serves to both preserve the good/known players and to keep the confirmed/likely town around longer. I'd like everyone to chime in on this subject of party selection and help come to the optimum way of doing things. tone: lol content: I worry that this might be overestimating the importance of figuring out which players are town, and underestimating the importance of actually winning the minigames. Remember, this was the game where the hosts warned that it might be impossible to balance, that implies to me that things other than just finding scum to kill might be important. | ||

Hrm let me think about this for a second??????? hrm who could it possibly me........... Wait a tick fucking me thats who I nominate the perfect one as the leader because he is the best choice. Not only am i town this game i also have a very distinguishable town meta from my scum meta. Also the perfect one is known for his generosity and his fairness i am very active and will be able to keep up with the thread very easily so i will easily take the towns input for selecting my team So vote iamperfection 2012 ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah I can assert this too, doesn't make it true or useful | ||

In the former case, a noob scum would not be proposing some shitty plan like that. In the latter, he was gauging reactions and hoping to get scum to bite. Also, not a scumplay. It's not a very useful town read, though, because I don't want to vote for him precisely because his plan was terrible. huh like, how random is this? I mean, i can give or take the logic, but did you really need to explain your useless town read right then? | ||

I feel like this was already discussed to death (with thechronicler's terrible plan, among others); why bring it up again just then? | ||

I've heard he is a capable player and a few people have mentioned that he is easier to pin down when scum. We then impose that he gives us every single line of thought on why he's chosen the party members (trying to choose town of course), and play on based from the result of the mission and from the assumptions I've made earlier on. If he's scum, we should be able to catch him on these grounds. So I'm not convinced "voting someone to get a read on them" makes sense. For one thing, we should probably be able to get a read on the main candidates based on their platforms etc - they're already putting themselves out there more than most players, and giving us more material (or, if they're not that's pretty significant also). But also - I think it's gonna be pretty important to win the minigames. Until we have done a few and (hopefully) know a little more about their implications, I don't think we want to risk losing them to get better reads on people. also this has probably already been discussed to death on the pages following this quote so if this is obsolete, my b | ||

Certainly you couldn't have THAT strong of a town read on the both of them. this is silly. he could change his reads, obvy, but if he actually wants people to vote for him it only makes sense to tell them "these are some of my town reads" so then the voters can be like "oh man his townreads are great lets vote for him" or "oh man his townreads suck that person totally didn't look town when he said that." I mean, it's a damn sight better than just asserting "my town reads are the shit bros" | ||

I'd prefer someone with a very strong track-record of accurate D1 town reads. You're definitely someone that can be read early and be a party candidate though. @ Kei Err... but you said... Do explain good sir. ehrmagerd he was inconsistent wooooooooooooooow this is a big deal guys (no it's not) not feeling the hapa happenin right now | ||

Those two statements mean very different things. The first expresses reservation - that you're not going to vote someone UNLESS you have a town read on them. The second expresses no hesitancy - that you're vote is determined unless marv shows you otherwise. On November 21 2012 13:30 Hapahauli wrote: @ GK Ah that makes sense. I'm still don't care for such early D1 town reads, but that's just my own attitude and nothing to hold you accountable for. @ Z-Bo Ok ok I know I super-tunneled you that one game based on stupid wordings and such, but this one seems a lot more clear-cut no? Like those two statements do not mean the same thing at all. THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! | ||
