ties are no elimination
I know ties are no-elim

that's why I'm concerned, because if you're scum being bussed your partner can force a no-elim

Re: Escape From Russia [Day 5]

ok

uh

so according to eevee from my homesite (who's, like, an actually good player to be clear, not some random troll, even if he sometimes plays like that) villagers are way more likely to just say 'potato' and wolves are way more likely to be like 'wtf are you doing'

(I have actually legitimately seen this work, I'm pretty sure he wasn't just messing with me)

except ... both of you said potato

so this didn't help at all unless I'm going to call the team Epi/Poison which seems not very plausible

Re: Escape From Russia [Day 5]

I agree with Hally's earlier claim that V!Hally means Epi is also V, like, if Epi is scum and a villager is the consensus LyLo exe they have no reason to go out of their way to be like 'let's CFD every other player in the game except Poison'

like I don't think Hally is V but

this also means that if I can rule out Ash/Poison Hally has to be scum? I think? but like also I've basically been playing all day under the assumption that they're scum and nothing they've done today has particularly given me evidence otherwise

like, I don't think a villager just totally gives up here, particularly since with the reads they're claiming to have, if they're a villager, all they would need to do is find + convince 1 villager on their wagon to move

and instead they're ATEing and asking to die

Re: Escape From Russia [Day 5]

I don't think the didn't-save-Vul point is the strongest point against Hally, I've seen lots of real docs miss obvious saves, like, I've literally seen an actual doctor protect her strongest wolfread, who was also wolfread by basically ever other player in the game, on the theory that if the were town wolves would kill them to frame the people suspecting them (a.k.a. literally the entire game)

Re: Escape From Russia [Day 5]

Arete attempts to do VCA (and probably comes to a bunch of wrong conclusions)

Image

Image

Image

Image

okay

(this is all ignoring my actual reads)

on a level-1 level Poison + Ash being on the wolf on D1 is a better look for them, Hally being on the CW is a worse look, and Epi being way off wagon is a slightly worse look for them

that said it's LyLo so I don't want to be like 'wolves never vote wolves, Ash and Poison are locktown'

on a slightly higher level I think the context of the EoD points to Ash and Hally not being aligned? like, Ash was spending basically all of D1 dunking on TSP, while Hally was spending EoD1 being like 'CFD the two poster,' and I think that's kind of bizarre if they're partners

that's not VCA per se but I think it's true

semi-points to Poison/Hally not being a thing since one would be bussing while the other would be trying to CFD the 2-poster, but I don't think that's nearly as strong of a case as the case against Ash/Hally since that could just be individual preferences for deepwolfing vs. powerwolfing

D2 is V/V wagons, I don't think scum would have had a strong preference for LC vs. Michelle (maybe there's something I'm missing, I don't actually remember their reads). normally I'd say people off-wagon in V/V wagons are sus but we didn't have anyone off wagon, so. I do think it's weak evidence against an Ash/Poison team since I find it hard to believe that literally all three wolves would stack on Michelle over LC with V/V Michelle and LC.

EoD3 is another interesting one because Hally was one of the two main wagons (and now I feel kind of dumb because I'm pretty sure I was the vote that saved Hally? don't remember for certain). I think this is more evidence against Ash/Hally, Ash's vote legitimately put Hally in danger and I would be surprised if Ash bussed both his teammates back to back for no reason, when he was already (on D3) widely townread post-Tony flip. Epi and Poison are both voting the CW to Hally, I think given how close the vote was that raises the equity of them being teamed with Hally. it might slightly lower the equity of an Epi/Poison team? I don't really see why they both stack on LC there if they're wolves, and separately I think wolves would have seen Hally as a more valuable kill than LC.

EoD4 is V/V wagons again (we should have just killed Epi like I wanted to), again the only off-wagon person is a dead villager. This is maybe slight points against a Hally/Epi team? but their other votes have enough partner equity that I'm not ruling it out. Ash and Poison are voting together again, it's honestly kind of funny at this point? if they're wolves they decided to just always vote together to mess with people, and I don't think I actually believe that.


so to sum up (this is ignoring my actual reads on people)

all theoretical teams

Ash/Hally
Ash/Epi
Ash/Poison

Hally/Epi
Hally/Poison

Epi/Poison

teams I think actually make sense from VCA


Ash/Epi

Hally/Epi
Hally/Poison (some things make it unlikely but can't totally rule it out)

Epi/Poison

What changed Ash? What changed? :(
Among other things, your reads have moved around in a way that doesn't seem believable. 112 flipped town. All the players who I had below you in PoE have died or (in Hally's case) entered some kind of weird mechanical twilight zone where I don't even know.
Great. Lynch me and win the game.
Well I was going to try and sort through the mess a bit more before I started voting, but if you're going to taunt me, sure.

That's more like it. Arete is sure to follow.
I'm probably always voting Hally over you today (barring situations where you/not Hally are the EoD wagons) because I'm pretty sure Hally's role only makes mechanical sense as Mafia whereas technically you could just be willaging

I'll do you one better.

I'm an English teacher.
then presumably you should have been able to use context clues to figure out that my sentence was narrating my present state of mind rather than implying Wilgy's alignment would be different depending on when we flipped him!
What you meant was, "Right now, I don't think Wilgy is a hit." I knew that.

That isn't what your statement said. ;)

Who is Tony's partner and why?
right now I'm leaning you as one of them, as you probably guessed from the fact that I'm voting you
And this is your best evidence:
Epi isn't a current wagon and is getting a pass for no clear reason so that could maybe be a hit? but I'm not, like, confident of that
That isn't me being a teammate of Tony.

You are mafia. :)
you are one of two players this game that I don't have non-associative reasons to townread (the other being Wilgy) and I think the threadstate points to Wilgy being a villager

before I brought you up no one was particularly interested in pressuring you for no clear reason, people who are getting zero pressure when no one townreads them and no one can really even point to a reason they're town are >>rand Mafia

your response to me switching my vote to you was actually awful, you OMGUS-voted me while inventing a reason that involved blatantly misconstruing my sentence. when further pressured for reasons you came up with reasons that were actively illogical and contradictory to the point that I have a hard time seeing it as anything but trying to invent reasons where they don't exist so that your vote looks more justified

you claim to be dissatisfied with the threadstate but have done nothing to change it for the first 46 hours of the day, as far as I can tell you did not care about it at all until you were being pressured. your actions are inconsistent with your supposed mindset.

none of these reasons are 'you are specifically aligned with Tony based on associations' but that doesn't make them invalid

ok so to clarify this: I figured that scum would want to not kill someone who might die to the virus (especially if Hally was town)

I checked and the only two living people who fit that criterion are Ash and Wilgy

them killing Wilgy here is lowkey making me paranoid about Ash, but
Yeah, I figured that as well. I'm a bit surprised to be here.

It's seems like Hally really does have some sort of doctor ability though so maybe she's town and it was a doc dodge?
I feel like

ok so I haven't played on this site before so I don't know what people here consider balanced

but 15p Mountainous is considered balanced or slightly scumsided on most competitive-ish sites, JoaT^2 is considered slightly townsided on most sites

town having 2 docs + a poisoner in a 15p with 3 Mafia is more townsided than JoaT^2, I'm pretty sure, so I feel like that wouldn't be balanced and it's really unlikely that a hypothetical town doc would exist in this set-up

the two worlds I can think of where it might count as balanced are:

- if the poisoner is being treated as a negative utility role for balance purposes. I think this is unlikely because ... it literally autopoisons the wolf who killed them if it dies ...
- if there's a 3p (apparently this site likes those) + 2 Mafia alive right now. This is probably actually possible but I'm choosing to ignore this world because I don't think town can win in it, and game theory says that if it's impossible for you to win if X is true you should play as if X is never true

basically what I'm saying is that I think it's highly unlikely that there is a town doc alive
Mmm. A scum doc is a really weird thing to imagine, but I see what you're saying. It's what Nook was saying too.
I think it kind of makes sense for there to be a scum doc with LC's role, like, I feel like 'autokill the wolf who killed you with almost no counterplay if you die at night' is kinda OP

...honestly the thing that doesn't make sense about a scum doc is why they wouldn't have healed Tony N1

but I don't really think two town docs and a town poisoner makes sense from a set-up balance perspective

"Kill Wilgy and make Epignosis look stupid."

You are mafia.
so if you're a villager (which I don't think you are, but entertaining it for the sake of argument)

then you're arguing that I, as Mafia, looked at V/V wagons with no one caring to change them, and randomly decided to try to CFD to a different villager for no reason rather than letting you all keep pushing your miselims on 112/Wilgy and taking 0 responsibility

your world makes no sense

I checked and the only two living people who fit that criterion are Ash and Wilgy

them killing Wilgy here is lowkey making me paranoid about Ash, but
Yeah, I figured that as well. I'm a bit surprised to be here.

It's seems like Hally really does have some sort of doctor ability though so maybe she's town and it was a doc dodge?
I feel like

ok so I haven't played on this site before so I don't know what people here consider balanced

but 15p Mountainous is considered balanced or slightly scumsided on most competitive-ish sites, JoaT^2 is considered slightly townsided on most sites

town having 2 docs + a poisoner in a 15p with 3 Mafia is more townsided than JoaT^2, I'm pretty sure, so I feel like that wouldn't be balanced and it's really unlikely that a hypothetical town doc would exist in this set-up

the two worlds I can think of where it might count as balanced are:

- if the poisoner is being treated as a negative utility role for balance purposes. I think this is unlikely because ... it literally autopoisons the wolf who killed them if it dies ...
- if there's a 3p (apparently this site likes those) + 2 Mafia alive right now. This is probably actually possible but I'm choosing to ignore this world because I don't think town can win in it, and game theory says that if it's impossible for you to win if X is true you should play as if X is never true

Re: Escape From Russia [Night 4]

I don't think a scum partner at risk of getting doinked by poison ever busses Wilgy there because if the bus goes through you potentially just autolose

so that's Hally and Epi, of Wilgy voters
