These location mechanics are more often than not pretty inconsequential either way. If players RNG their location choices and this still results in some unwinnable game state, there's no real point in fretting about it in the first place, it's a rigged game.

So it seems pretty dumb to telegraph exactly what everyone is doing in exchange for voluntarily providing information advantage to bad actors.

If you repeat sequences of visits by RNG, you won't be able to check off every single location as quickly, but over repeated instances even if players didnt volunteer their info you would just about visit every one
So basically by openly saying "I'm going to XYZ", you're gaining an overall like 25% hit rate in unexplored locations when you factor in random duplications and informed decision making

In exchange for mafia knowing exactly what town is doing, and being able to act on that if they have abilities that can interact with this
How is it incosequential to keep things leaving most powerful scum role alive to luck? There're 20+ Town players now (and less in future), 50 locations now (and more in future). So like, if we end up with outed, unkillable Voldemort i'd say consequences are dire. You're all for going with RNG yet you're complaining about duplications if we organize it.

It's not about giving informations to bad actors. It's about giving informations to town. Do you have any other way to share informations with Town that posting it in thread?

I'm the paranoid one most of the time but refusing to do what we're supposed to do because MAYBE there're some scum abilities based on locations that are more impactful than finding horcruxes is just ridiculous to me.
 
I mean for real, what ability based on locations they could have. Even if they have "kill people who visit XXX location", we'll lose 1 person instead of idk 5 who would go straight to library or sth hoping they'll get role cop or some shet.
The only possible issue would be if that role is able to teleport them to a different location without the person knowing. That way they will give wrong information without them knowing and since the scum know our locations it would be easy for them to manipulate.

That being said, it’s Better than having multiple people double up and us waste time
 
Can u give ur first thoughts pls.
i just got here a page ago but uh

Ultra made a joke with me instead of complaining about dross and how much he hates my gimmick.

So uh

that's different from last game

maybe our love has grown but maybe he is an alignment that likes dross

also i was in a game where i thought a read was stupid for seeming unrelated and based on 1 post but they were right. but then again im not them. i am not HIM as much as i think im HIM
 
In short I think you took the oath of least resistance to get to that vote and I'm not a fan.
I think if you add in the fact I had a play-based scum read on the guy to begin with it becomes a lot less damning than you might think

I can concede I may be a bit too absolute in dealing with that claim, on balance the vote stays tho

XXX location = grils lavatory confirmed
come in girl laboratory for fun time
(not clickbait there will be girls there)

Do u two have a longer history or smth?
 
It's okay, we got a good blend of people being transparent and people being intransparent about the search, forcing everyone into the same corset probably isn't optimal anyway.
I mean yeah, that's what we'll end up with anyway. It's just just annoying with people who would rather go against hosts instruction due to paranoia

But keeping information of where you're going to yourself won't stop them from teleporting you. And if they can only teleport people from 1 location then again, they would be able to use it on 1 person only
 
Like it's not like i want to focus on 1 thing but if scum wants to use location based ability, they already have targets anyway. So like, being this adamant about keeping things sectet from thread is just strange to me. And how do you know town doesn't have location based abilities to begin with?

Done with location talk (i mean i'll update Red list in a moment for people who don't want to duplicate their visit, whether they're sharing it or not, but discussion about mechanic in general is pointless to me). I was pretty clear with my take on it.
 
Is host asking us to gamethrow or sth? Is doing what we're supposed to do cheesing the game? Can you explain what scum will do with that information?
It's Fuji, so yes.

*Pulls up chair*

Have you ever heard of the 80/20 principle Charlie my boy? It applies perfectly to this situation. For you see we can split up our little conundrum into two components:

1. We want to explore Hogwarts and maximize our ability to find horcruxea

2. We want to eliminate giving away information to mafia

Since these interests compete, we cannot maximize our outcomes in category 1 without compromising category 2 and vice versa. In the example of your plan, you achieve close to 100% efficiency in category 1, but are 0% efficient in category 2.

My proposal effectively achieved 80% efficiency in both categories. You wish to maximize your return by an additional 20%, but at the cost of 80% more effort and 80% loss in the second.
 
ok me and @Ultra are going to the girl's bathroom on the 6th floor tn ok?

go to your own girl's bathroom

we're full

no one else is allowed.

also if u really DONT want to waste your time and energy coordinating night locations then we just split the castle up like this:
we do a buddy system
there's gonna be 29 of us so we visit the first 14 locations on the map
split the partners by player list so just take Fuji's mod message and make pairs going down the list of names. i.e 1st pair is first 2 names on list. 2nd pair is 3rd and 4th names on list, etc
and from these pairs u just visit the 14 places. (1st pair visits 1st location on list. 2nd pair visits 2nd location on list, all the way up to 14)

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRROOOOOOOY JEEEEEEENKINS
