Sorry that I haven't been here, I see votes have been thrown down.
Might need a little more time before I can be perfectly current.

No, if you and LG are both town that means you're on a town wagon and scum can get enough votes to hammer LG because it only takes a single town on town vote to lose in lylo.

oh I see

 

[The Sun Fan]

the mechanical thing to do for LG is to vote for Exlight because its just mathematically the best
idk if people care but I can explain why its the best (the game is lost if either of them are town anyways, and voting for doc just increases the chances of losing)

how so
if she's town she should vote for who she thinks is scum

 

[ExLight]

oh wait, I get what you mean

 

[Echolight]

How does voting for doc increase the chances of losing? Didn’t we think he was scum??

yeah it kind of actually doesn't matter if doc /is/ scum
it only matters that he /could/ be town
I'm occupied so maybe exlight can try to explain, then I can make fun of him when I'm free again, and then explain it for real

If me and LG are both town we'll lose, so we're under the premise one of us is scum
By voting Doc, we're having to guess another player's alignment.

So like, we're already under the premise either me or LG are scum.
So there are 5 remaining people if we exclude me and LG, and 2 scum; so the chance of doc being scum under those circumstances is 2/5 aka 40%
While if we had Ex/LG wagons, under those circunstances, we have a 1/2 chance aka 50% of hitting scum

that's it right Sun?

ugh what the **** why did you nail this explanation

 

[LittleGumball]

ex unvote and i will too. we can continue to discuss. i'm currently doing big brain solving

 

[ExLight]

I'd rather listen to the big brain solving first

you won't believe me because you're stuck in your headcanon that i'm lying about literally everything but sure i guess i'll start typing it out

can you vote him until he unvotes
I'm literally never trying to gain something by asking for this btw unless my partners are within people already voting
its just better mechanically

ex/doc/sunfan is the only world you'd have to worry about that and I don't think that makes much sense given how hard ex and I went at each other before

wait you wouldn't even have to worry about that team of 3
I'm sorry I'm spaghetti-ing right now, its just better to vote ex
ignore me if you don't want to but its mathematically slightly better

 

[ExLight]

from my perspective I'm actually finer with a Doc wagon instead of a me wagon tbf but it's because I know I'm not scum and there's a chance bussing is going on to give towncred anyway but I get why yall would prefer it :exlight:
