I actually low-key am considering a No Elimination today. BOTH Scum teams NEED to hunt for each other. Whichever shoots Town tonight is likely to lose the game.
What do you think?

I will read back, I merely have not had the time yet.
I figured I'd try to engage with something active first and then go back and read some of what I've missed.Half meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

Which is why I'm suggesting the No Elimination play. I've thought of a worst scenario case where we eliminate one scum and the opposing team shoots the other while that lone scumster shoots Town, leaving us at a 2-2-0 situation.In post 1331, The Bulge wrote:even a scumflip potentially hands the game to one team if they're able to shoot based on assocs
Even if said lone scum holsters (but still gets shot) we end up at 3-2 tomorrow, which means we need to go through 2 EyLo phases to win.
If we flip scum and their p manages to both survive and hit one of the opposing team we would be at 2-1-1 and we still would need to go for No Elimination tomorrow (we would have no choice about it as either a correct or a miselimination would lose us the game)
The one and ONLY good scenario for us today (if we do eliminate someone) would be to:
A- Hit scum, and B- Both Scum teams cross-kill, resulting in a 3-1-0 situation tomorrow.
Going for a No Elimination today FORCES both teams to hunt for each other. Whichever of them misses loses the game. If they both miss we at a no worse situation either (the remaining townie abstains and forces a No Elimination OR a joint Scum win)

Shorthand version:
Any town elim -> 2-2-2 crosskill -> 2-1-1 no-elim, crosskill <pretty sure any town win from a mis-elim requires consecutive crosskilsl>
3-2-2 Elim scum 3-2-1 crosskill 3-1-0 -> normal 4p
scum elim 3-2-1 big elim small 2-2 scum win
scum elim 3-2-1 small shoot big 2-1-1 no-elim crosskill town wins
no-elim, crosskill -> 3-1-1 {town gets a regular 2-1 with a scum elim from this point}
no-elim, 1scumkill -> 2-2-1 {only town win path is elim big scum + crosskill, the rest lose}
no-elim, 2 townkill -> 1-2-2
Mis-elim
A mis-elim can actually still win but it requires a crosskill, no-elim, crosskill sequence. Very short odds because one scumteam has slightly more info than the other. The paradox that it's higher ev to crosskill and hope the other scumteam misses than to kill town is pretty funny here. Both scumteams path to win is accuracy but if they are both too accurate then town wins. They have to hope they're accurate and the other team isn't.
Scum elim
The crosskill and small shooting big paths both keep town alive. Crosskill resulting in 3-1-0 is by far the best town path.
Small shooting big requires a crosskill the next night for town to win.
Big shooting small and small missing is an immediate win for big.
Two town killed means 1-2-1 which is it's own brand of fun.
No elim
Town is in much better shape after a crosskill.
If one team misses we get 2-2-1 and town have to elim from the big team to stay alive, and then crosskill needed to win.
If both teams shoot town then the remaining townie has to hope for no-elim and crosskill twice in a row.
Summary:I'm not quite done with working out the sequences, but to me it looks ever so slightly better for the scum elim case. That one has the only straightforward path for a town win. The other paths seem to all need more than one night with a kill on scum, and specific ones at that. No-elim requires a fair amount of wishful thinking compared to scum elim.
The scum elim case makes it easier for the big team too. They merely have to shoot small and hope small misses, instead of needing to do it twice.Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends? Check out the minecraft thread, or the channel on discord-
