I bet Cube is a member of SDHS Despair because he's lowkey posting like he thinks this is the game he modded with only competing scum teams and no town. Sorry Cube I'm town, and scumhunting is still a thing. ##Vote cube

No I think it's more like the other game I modded where flips actually didn't give any info.

Okay so I read the OP again a few times and I think I can break the game, slightly differently.

It relies on exploiting the plurality voting scheme.

Basically, we daisy-chain votes on each other so everyone has exactly one vote (or partner up, or sub-daisy-chain I guess).

Wow, I can't believe you bastards! You're even bloodthirstier than me! But, keep in mind - if the Mastermind wins because everyone dies, then everyone else loses, so plan accordingly!

I've updated the OP accordingly. Sorry for the confusion.

1) That is in the running for least notable aspect of that game.
2) A lack of flips is incredibly different from Stepford Wives so I don't even think it is comparable.
3) How do we know this game is flipless again...?

Well, alignments aren't shown on flips except for the mastermind. The despair team scum don't show as such.

Well, the MM still flips as MM, right? The rest of the game is flipless, though.

I guarantee you the mastermind or a despair member will weasel out of it somehow lol

I'm not totally against the idea of tying votes at the end of the day, like maybe two deaths instead of one (not the entire playerlist lmao), but since it's flipless, if we're wrong that's gonna cost us a fair bit.

I should add, even though it's obvious: because the MM gets a nightkill too, or despair gets a kill if the MM dies. In the worst case scenario, we'd lunch two townies, and MM kills a third at night. That's not great.

The MM doesn't know who's a member of despair, though, right? Or do they? Trying to figure out if they're more like a mafia leader (because godfather is not the term I'm looking for) or if they're more like a serial killer cause everyone else needs them dead.

mmm i hadn't considered intentionally doing an execution of a number of people between one and sixteen. my brain isn't working today i guess.

makes it so we don't need to choose between targets if it comes to that, but then maybe the safer play is to go one at a time until we can root out the mastermind, then start taking out swaths of suspicious folk to get shsl despair

WAIT IVE GOT IT

The perfect synthesis of both stupid plans

Instead of setting things up to try and make everyone die at once, we set things up to make half the playerbase die at once. Then whoever screws it up is prolly the mastermind if they were in that half

I'll prolly spend the rest of the day deciding how much of this is joking or not
