It's a one in five shot.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

So... if you know, pick that one, and then just pick the same for everyone else?

Re: DISCUSSION

[remarch]

It depends on the penalty and how they're averaging, or the totals, right? If we know absolutely who one is, and it's your total right guesses, we could get 100% right by doing one. But if we get it wrong, we get 0%. And like, if we just guess everyone, we've got a 20% chance of getting it right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[ooh]

That's true...

[remarch]

And anyway, it's kinda hard to tell if people had a strategy? Like, we just picked randomly. And do we get a win if they suck at guessing ours the most?

[untilitsleeps]

Who knows?

[remarch]

Games where you have to set shit on fire are soo much easier.

[untilitsleeps]

I guess.

[remarch]

Hey, echo, can you tell us more about the scoring?

[soulping]

[ A meow, and then: ]

I suppose I can!

You'll receive five points for each correct answer, and lose one point for every wrong answer. No points will be taken or awarded for choosing not to answer for a person.

[untilitsleeps]

So just doing the ones we're sure of is best.

[hungryman]

You'd have to get five wrong to cancel out one that's right though.

[remarch]

If we get one in four right, we get one point every guess, and way more if we get two right? And it's a one in five shot of being right.

But if we fuck up a lot, we'll go way into negatives.

[hungryman]

Blind guesses shouldn't be tried at all then.

[remarch]

Yeah. But isn't every guess super blind? We picked kinda random. Do you know any guys who won't kiss at all?

[hungryman]

The bird probably isn't doing any actual kissing, but I can't decide if they would do the hand kiss or the nose rub.

[remarch]

Unless they knew we'd think that way for guessing so they picked the ones that didn't make sense.

[Barghest: Team of paranoids uselessly spinning their wheels.]

[hungryman]

Well you can't really guess things that don't make sense, can you? You have to trust your gut.

[remarch]

... Uh. How?

[hungryman]

Well, you would usually have a reason to think someone has a role, right? Try to see if the reasons why they didn't have the role stand up.

[untilitsleeps]

It just takes one point to lose.

[hungryman]

I think it lends itself to making guesses when you're not sure but have a good idea, but a blind guess would be a bad idea.

[remarch]

Hey, echo, is it like, averaged out? Does it matter how many times we guess? You said "No penalties", didn't you? Is it getting 100% right, or getting more points?

[soulping]

It's getting more points, dear. There's no averaging involved.

And you may call me "Fluffy," not "Echo."

[remarch]

Got it. So there's no point going for like, one perfect right guess to game it. Unless everyone really, really fucks up and we totally can win with five points.
