Tax Season [DAY 1]

the power roles dont do anything anyway besides collector spotting coin discrepancies

gonna wait until other people decide to play the game

Big ass is the lynch

the tax mechanic is 90% scum sided and is designed primarily as a substitute for a night kill. wasting time 'hiding' pr's is pointless they need to claim now so we narrow the pool down. collector will live until at least day 2 regardless following my plan

if scum targets one player they can steal 3 coins from them in one night, the most any town player can gain is +2 if mint targets them and no town steals from them. this should be pretty fucking obvious the trend this will lead to. collector is a pseudo cop with primarily downside. +1 coin tax detrimentally affects 6(5 if mint has a brain and also claims here) town targets and only 1 scum target. please use your brains

I will have to think some more about this setup, but fishing for claims usually benefits scum more than town.

Upon further review:

Collector helps town more the longer he survives.
That's assuming he targets scum.
A collector only has a 2/8 chance of hitting scum, and a 6/8 chance of hitting town.
The odds get better if Mint claims and/or we vote out scum on day one.

Mint is helpful, but only if he gifts his coins to town.
This is the opposite of the collector. He has a better chance of helping town win.

Still not sure if either one should claim.
Maybe bigger brains can figure this out.

Isn't that because you have the host ignored? Shouldn't we have changed hosts if this was going to be an irreconcilable issue?

What's the point in outing both PRs for a 100% chance to get the minter killed? The collector can't die on N1 if they use both abilities.

voting in a pool of 7 instead of 9 and town won't accidentally target one of them at night. if mint is tunneled by scum n1 and they steal 3 of his coins he dies but this allows collector to live until day 3 at least. operating blind seems terrible as the power roles seems terrible as i've explained in previous posts

A PR is still a PR and can clear the player if they aren't cc'd, which gets better as the game goes.

this post in particular comes off as incredibly dumb

the collectors is a pseudo cop here after night targets are corroborated to see if someone has too many coins. his +1 coin tax is scum sided it only effects one of the scum

no shit?

you want to just trust scumhunting when we are the only 2 people playing the game right now?

i guess claiming is irrelevant in that case anyway if people don't actually play or can't read their role pm

Yeah, game is ruined if sophie is PR or scum.

Not sure what you mean here. You seem to be agreeing with me and calling me dumb at the same time.

i tried explaining to faz why it should be considered griefing to not look at your role pm day 1. it just creates a leveling game that leads to everyone doing it and completely wasting a day

That can be stopped easily with a forced confirm, which we used to do.

you're acting like the night actions of power roles are important. the only important thing is collector tracking who has more coins than they should after night actions are posted. they should claim and we get 2 innocent childs at least

at the very least collector can claim and mint coins him so he for sure lasts a day
