To Everyone: I would really like to thank all of ya for giving me friendly advice, it really means a lot.
You're welco - wait, I didn't give you any advice! This thank you is addressed wrong!

Basically, if the scum aren't bright enough to come up with the same ideas on their own, they can attempt to use the strategies that we are attempting to come up with counter-strategies for.
So back to the question: Agree or Disagree?
Mmm... I'm going to say I lean toward disagree, will tell y'all why after you've answered Megas' question.
OK, I've answered.
Basically when we're theorising about scum strats, we're not actually scum-hunting.
We might not be the bright ones, and miss the strategy the scum are actually using, and an issue with laying out strategies is we may fall into the trap of "these are the only strategies that the scum might use, so we should pick the most likely one they're using and act as such"
Scum might drop in a few false strategies that we might then waste our time coming up with counters for when they're not ever going to be considered by the scum.
Finally, it allows the scum to cherry-pick the best bits out of any strategies that we come up with, maybe doing something we can't counter.
So... 7 - 8 minds aren't bright enough to out-think 1-2 minds?
No, I know, if we're discussing it it means that discussion power isn't going to scum hunting, but if we don't discuss it, will we be doing more scum hunting or will we be wasting time not discussing anything?
Obviously getting stuck in a trap of thinking that one strat is superior to another is wrong, which is why we would have to brainstorm a whole lot.
I hadn't considered the scum creating falsehoods... [/NotLikeTheyEverDo]
OK, though, that last point I can't argue against. There isn't a counter for everything, I have to admit. I can't think of what things we can't counter right now, but there must be a couple, right? If you can think of any,
don't tell us, though.
I can confirm that there is at least one boring, power-less role.
Ehh, so you're claiming too? Does your role flavor text mention a superhero name like fillipk's?
(pfp)
I don't know if his does, but mine does. Withholding that name for now, thanks, but there is a name.
I guess I got a bit ahead of myself and your right my theory is kinda looks stupid now, and apparently is wrong if people are to be believed, but it has had two effects on this game.
1. If I avoid getting lynched and people start calming down and seeing me as town I've made myself a target for the cult as a realitively safe convert and someone with a power role
2. It stirred up a hornet's nest of new content to analyze and maybe find scum.
Yes FoU, my vote was kinda reactionary trying to find someone else to suggest as scum, wish I had paid more attention to the sabertooth post.
1) How do we know you haven't already been converted,
FillipK?
2) But how much does that content help us find scum?
I checked tntey's profile a few minutes ago and saw that he was online. He went offline just now. I hope he posts soon.
Day 1 ends tomorrow. We should propose our final cases soon. Late tonight, I'll return with my full list of reasons why I'm voting SaberToothTiger, unless he says or does something to change my mind.
Will do. I'll go over everything again and look for anything I've missed, then post a reads list.
Maybe if I get time before the day ends tomorrow, maybe tonight if I'm lucky.Bugger it. Extend.
PPE: Unvote, in case I forget later.
Oh, yeah, this exists.
