Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think?

Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
well if it helps, failing tone you can just work out that i’m town mathematically, because due to statistics/rng i probably didn’t role scum again this game since i just did last game. a bit of the old “numerical” approach there for you
although, if we look at this game in a vacuum, you being scum in a previous game doesnt mean that theres a lower chance of you being scum this game -thinking-
i’m not roleclaiming this early smh. scummy inquiry tbh
yeah it does
you got me there. i hardclaim The Man Behind the Man
No comment on the ~vibes~, but on the cop role specifically, I'm actually wondering if we can count on there being a cop at all? According to the signup thread the setup was originally designed for 14 players, with additional slots being filled by vanilla townies and goons. It seems like a cop might be a tiny bit OP with only 14 players? Unless there are some mafia roles that could mess with its results.
Um... respectfully disagree? Looking back through the thread, the only actual game post rari made before I published my reads list was that Mawile might have been Gus (which she provided no reasoning for and later said was a typo). That and her hypocop result. Since then, yeah, she's posted more (and I don't disagree with anything she's said, except maaaaaybe her doubt about seshas) but at the time I don't think there was enough to base any sort of read on.
I'm not sure yet. There are a few things that seem odd:
i don’t think it would be op, cop is a pretty common role even in tiny mafia games and even if there’s no disruptive role
do people actually like, remember this quote independently, or is it just that it pops up in my signature approximately every 20th time my sig is loaded. lmfao
Can you expand on this part of the read?
yes
i really don't see why not tbh?
idk if i agree with the second part of this; flavorspec seems like fair game for a wolf to try to distort or use to distract from content reads, etc. i don't see why w!ils wouldn't take the opportunity to make pretty easy initial plays - distorting flavorspec doesn't require any actual reads on players. not that i think ils is a wolf, i just don't agree w this premise
i kinda think she just didn't understand it tbh
Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this actually.
I heard that there’s an entire city in the middle of Nevada that was built around this kind of statistics tbh
speaking from experience, she might be an actual cop who drew a redcheck and is too scared to hypo and become a target tbh
i say this because she replied with stuff labeled "my contribution to cop cover" in a way that made me think she intended those to be her cover, and that she wasn't trying to dodge it
no? in a 14-player game, if the cop lives to D3, then there are potentially 2 living people they've greenchecked, with probably 9 people alive (assuming no abstains/successful doc protections). Then all they have to do is claim and reveal their results, and town has a ~50% chance of hitting scum just by randomly lynching, with reads probably bumping that up a bit.
