    Uhh because wolves absolutely hate objectively superior plans? Hence all the witch hunt changes, because of town gaming the hunter during the Day and stuff like that. It makes it hard for wolves in the sense that they would prefer us to not come to strong mechanical conclusions (and would rather us take as long as possible to when we do to waste time). Like if anything I'd say witches would either just A) complain and not contribute or B) make filler-read posts and such that get washed away amidst the mechanics, so they can look like they're doing stuff when it's just busy-work lost amidst the mechanics posts

    Here's a non-mechanics bone, why don't you answer this then?

    Noooo, I love descending order.

    Also, thinking about things. It's important.

    Why don't you have a gander at the long reads list I posted?

    Where is it again please?

    I need to do some work, so I'll be back in a bit and will give thoughts

    Oh wait I remember some of it. The Owner read was completely wrong, as she stated she didn't notice the blitz wagon on her until after the fact when she posted her reads. So it didn't apply at all. Thoughts on her with that in mind Newcomb?

    You have a more specific request, friend?

    Newcomb

    It's a little early to be asking that.

    Citrus --- Point of "Angels save Priest" (revising to Priest since Angels only know Priest) is that Priest would NOT claim and would instead just let themselves get shot, knowing Angels would save them. They could then claim Priest the NEXT day. This nets them an extra check.

    RE: Wagons, I think Jarizok is scum, I think Owner leans scum, I can buy witches failing to produce any other wagons? So probably w/w.
    Newcomb --- Town can also win when mechanics fuck over the scumteam! See WH12. In reality the truth lies somewhere in between.
    Beruru --- Wait, we have at worst one hit and two misses and another two misses could be game-ending? Hold on lemme run that...
    Gamestart: 12/5
    One hit, two misses: 10/4
    Lynch and Hunter miss: 8/4
    Scum kill: 7/4
    Halftime still isn't active, so I don't think there are then enough kill roles to end the game overnight.

    Claim/Not Claim pools are okay I guess? I just feel like it sucks if we accidentally target Priest.

    'Cause right now my only thoughts are "this game is too fucking long" and "both leading wagons have vanished."

    It's strictly better for them to claim "HOLY". In your scenario you're making angels discard their one super-protect and the priest is guaranteed to die the next Night (even if they don't claim priest the next Day). If they just claim "HOLY", the angels use a normal protect on them and we're in the same scenario EXCEPT we can use the hunter kill elsewhere AND angels keep the super protect. If the witches try to role-kill and miss, they throw away the night kill for the night which is even better for us

    If anything, it makes my point stronger.

    In a vacuum reacting to a wagon by hustling to get reads out is villagery. What possible reason could she have as a witch to negate that bit of towncred by going "lol actually I had no idea I was a wagon"? She's a bit deep in the PoE for that kind of levely WIFOM to actually do anything.

    Interesting. You think it's w/w? Who are your other 2 scum-reads then? You think Mallorean is one? You think I'm one? Or other players are in the PoE group?

    Ohhhhh, right yeah I was missing the bit where they claim non-specific holy instead. Okay yeah that does work better.

    Because it can look bad aka "oh shit time to produce and maybe look towny enough to not get CFD'd". Like the expectation when someone gets CFD'd is if they lie down and take it, very high chance they die. Claiming that with a lie definitely does NOT gain town-cred. At the least, there's me + other players in the game that definitely would NOT give it town-cred as is obvious

    Didn't owner like. Expressly not post her reads and Citrus kept badgering at her to do it.

    If she had done it of her own accord, sure, but.

    Vaimes Read the last, like, 50 posts and give your thoughts about Hunter Plans.

    (By the way... why is Hunter still in the setup?)

    KaiDASH have your thoughts on Hunter related things changed since the first time Hunter Plans was brought up?

    Have you actually read the reads list she gave out?

    You're ascribing an incredibly agenda-y, level-y mindset to someone who would actually know they were under the gun. Go ahead and find me evidence of that mindset in owner's EoD reads.

    I'll wait.

    I...already did that.

    I voted yes, dC cried "mechanics!" and I realized I was wrong, and you started freaking out about possibly losing via Hunter whiffing the shot.

    Owner wolf / Jarizok ~probably town

    Unrelatedly, Citrus is never, ever a wolf.

    Also, his revision to Kai's plan to direct the hunter seems good. We should either do that /or/ tell the hunter to never ever shoot if we want the extra lynch before lylo.

    We probably /are/ in a 4 witch world unless you think the witches burned their only IK to make it look like they role killed Rubicon through a functioning angel protect, which is. Lol.

    But if we're in a 4 witch world we're not going to lose straight away if the hunter misses anyway.

    We're at 13 alive, yes? Probably 9 villagers and 4 wolves. Mislynch is 8/4, night kill + hunter shot is 6/4, one more mislynch loses to the NK... so if Hunter misses /and/ we mislynch it makes it mylo toMorrow instead of lylo the day after.

    Also there's this:

    "The game ends when one side has completely eliminated the other, or when this is inevitable. For example, Witches typically win when at least half the remaining players are Witches, because it is then impossible for Villagers to out-vote and hang them."

    Which /might/ mean the witches don't automatically win when there's exactly 4/4 left since the little witches could accidentally help lynch an elder? I dunno, but someone should look into that probably.

    I'm the one that asked you to give a read on Owner outside of something that was disproven. Which you didn't even mention in thread until I pinged you about it now. You're now trying to shift the burden of proof on me.

    Why don't you instead give a read on Owner while completely discounting the EoD silence and then reads-post (since we either have a values disagreement or our alignments are causing us to disagree). Preferably without trying to shift burden of proof on me again, as I'd like to hear your thoughts AND I really need to do some work away from the thread or else I'm going to be up way too late tonight
