why are all the scum roles rc/rb
seriously what
I guess this just happened because I was curious as to what scum would do/how they would play. I think double rolecopping N1 and holding 1 charge for roleblocking later is a good play in an alternative timeline for this game, but I just wanted to try something that seemed cool and flexible. With how the game played out, it didn't really turn out that way, but scum being low powered seemed reasonable to me because town only had 3 PRs.
1x Town Tracker
1x Town Jailkeeper
1x Town Even Night Vigilante
7x Town Vanilla
3x Mafia 1-shot Rolecop or Roleblocker
I don't have much more to say about setup. It may have been slightly townsided (I was supposed to host later so uh, I kinda did the balancing in a hurry) but not overly so. I think this game showed the worst case scenario of "town has a lot of clearing power when scum numbers get low early on", but also Caffeine kinda made it worse for himself by locking himself into protecting Haruno every night with the Watcher.
dopog may have been better off as doccog, I guess, but I don't think roles were the major factor in how the game played out - moreso that scum got too bus-happy early on and got punished for it, especially with the claims they chose to follow up with putting them in a bit of a hole. Town mostly played fine (hard to really blame them for the TBZ lynch) but really I would've liked to see more people looking at whoever is the scummiest itg rather than focusing on role-based play. Lrr was right that Schia's play + vig shot target aligned properly and lended credence to their claim and Schia had a very good slam dunk case on Caffeine which got kinda ignored at first due to solving strategies. It turned out fine in the way, but that kinda thing is how gamethrows begin.
As someone who just lost a game because a townie claimed Masons with a mafia member, you really can't depend on roles to carry the day.
That's postgame, I guess. I was busy in the midgame where the vast majority of the posts took place, so I don't have loads to say there. Sorry for being kinda low on votal counts btw, I should've done better at keeping on top of those regardless.
