My playstyle may be overinfluencing my take on that. :/

I didn't sign up for this game for a lecture on the eloquence of crumbing about diners in the 1900s

I signed up to kill baddies

if you want to kill someone else in the hood you can make your case I promise I won't like totally not read it

[Dunnstral]

They only gave me three others, double traitor be wack.

Interesting.

a game with 2 dethy hoods and 2 traitors would be lit ngl

I mean yeah, that sounds fun but sadly I don't think Ceph did that here.

I do not think our other 6 person hood is a deathy.

[Lukewarm]

It would be super powerful for a goon to be able to tell their team who the cops of unknown sanities are, though

So, uh, would you say that that would incentivize a traitor to out the full list of people in the hood to the main thread...?

Possibly. But the thing about a deAthy is that it pretty much never stays under wraps. I would expect anyone who has played with one before to not worry about it. But if they were new to the concept, yes, I could see an urgency to start talking about it while also hinting that it is one to the main thread.

My issue is that the mental math I did to townbin Marci was on the basis that if she was mafia, that would mean she was a full member of the mafia, in a 5 man (non-dethy) hood, who needed to live x number of nights to help out her team. And in that position, I absolutely do not think that she would out her hood, and declare that we should kill someone in the hood. I don't think that she would want to take on that fight, and it seems to serve only to make her more likely to die before reward time.

But the math changes once we add the possibility of a traitor who wants to out their info to the main squad.

And I kinda feel like the whole foundation of my marci read is crumbling around me.

[Dunnstral]

Though there is likely mafia in here, just based on numbers.

Two games isn't a ton of experience, but that's not what I've seen two traitors do in my dethy games. One traitor arguably played terribly though.

I'm trying to think more "writ large", but it kinda feels like staring into a hall of mirrors.

[morph the cat]

There must be some REALLY good STD posts inside the hood to shape some of those hood reads, because not really seeing it from the outside.

Im not thinking in large terms. Im thinking in marci terms atm.

[Dunnstral]

I have a mental model for how I think a traitor would play.

Basically, if the mafia team is considering killing you, you're doing something wrong

That's not what I meant, but your response is...edifying.

[Dunnstral]

Can we get a council vote on whether edifying is a town or scum word?

6 person hood is explicitly not a dethy.

[Hermit Crab]

Depends which head used it.

[Shello and Goodbye]

i think i'm okay with killing inside of the hood but im curious if its better to leash everyone to one target and let them go for a night because i dont think any of the people in that hood are a priority to kill for wolves (?) from the outside looking in, maybe mechanically but i don't feel like any of them have exerted a lot of solving pressure thus far to make them like 'clear' targets

like if wolves want to cut down their own poe and shoot in there sure i guess that could happen

[morph the cat]

Spicy take.

I buy that Marci would be excited and out information as town.

I'm not sure what Marci would do as a traitor.

[Hermit Crab]

marci is the absolute last person I would kill in that hood.

Is there any doubt?

[Shello and Goodbye]

felt like getting off ActionDan based on something said in the hood

picked morph for funzies

whenever youre dragons around can you talk abt this more?

[morph the cat]

marci is the absolute last person I would kill in that hood.

Chuck Rab

^

[Dunnstral]

marci is the absolute last person I would kill in that hood.

Chuck Rab

I agree with this

I think we should maybe give ActionDan a chance to post before rushing forward into anything

[morph the cat]

{Marci, Luke, Crab} have tickets to at least day three by now.

[Hermit Crab]

I think Klick is the scum in the dethy, personally.

I'm willing to give the dethy advice on ways to solve sanities, but I'm not interested in leashing them.

elaborate?
