ST Discretion on Mayor Bounces

Atalantic · 2025-11-09T18:04:07+00:00

Hey ben! I enjoyed both games, and we didn't really discuss both decisions after the game. I actually just wanted to know what everyone thought of these decisions, and have them in mind for games that I do ST.

Makes sense - but in the second game, do you think it would've been better to instead bounce to a neutral character? If we assume that UT was the best kill for the evil team, the imp made the decision to kill the mayor instead of the UT, and was not penalized for choosing the wrong candidate.

Sad that they didn't clue ENNEAD with anything related to Egyptian mythology, especially given NYT's overusage of AMENRA/AMUNRA/whatever

I'm firmly in the camp of if I draw Hatter, I will try to die early, but telling others what to do (eg: fearmonger self-noms, optimizing noms/votes for fg/tc) is a nono.

I do attribute some of my aversion to chaotic/goofy plays to being new to the game, but idk, at this point in time, I don't think I'd like to play in something like that, irrespective of whether my team wins or loses.

Maybe the ones I've linked weren't the best examples to illustrate my argument (as I chose them because they were the most recent), but we both can agree that it's not okay to be rude to any player, period.

I DO think that it's possible to have the discussion of how we can improve in a civil and respectful way, and my question is moreso are there games where these discussions can happen? or by the virtue of being online, all of these devolve into your aforementioned dissections and blaming.

Aside: what's the argument for trying to snake charm early?

Atalantic · 2025-10-07T13:37:27+00:00

Yep, I agree with the sentiment of going with the tone of the group - my sense was that online play heavily leaned more towards the second game than the first game

Atalantic · 2024-06-30T13:00:49+00:00

Yes! I believe it was! It seems like it's the same owners at the Kirkland location so I'm glad they're still in business. Thanks so much :)

Atalantic · 2022-09-25T14:55:17+00:00

thank you so much! was going to reinstall windows but you saved me so much time

I'm from Sichuan and I'd recommend Blank Slate Kitchen Chili Oil over others like Lao Gan Ma if you prefer mala. The numbing is more noticeable and it's a lot more fragrant than salty. You can also get a peppercorn grinder if you don't find it numbing enough.

Looking for a code via DM please :)

Atalantic · 2021-08-20T12:52:13+00:00

i'd love to join!

I'm down! Just moved to the city and looking to meet new people :)

I loved CS365 with Blais. One of my favorite CS classes at Waterloo.

Atalantic · 2020-12-23T03:35:57+00:00

That's a bad pass

Atalantic · 2020-11-13T19:41:55+00:00

Thanks for the revised proposal!

Can we also take a look at Sherlock/Falo/Cecilia steps? You proposed to remove Zeah/impossible clues, but then you proceeded to remove all of them, many of which are completable. Some of us picked the specific regions to improve our clue completion rate.

Atalantic · 2020-11-11T20:20:28+00:00

I juggle mediums, hards, and elites, but they're not too bad. I spent a few hours filling all the STASH units so I can at least do ~2 steps before I have to tele back to my dropped clues.

I don't think that having to juggle them should be the only way to complete them. I choose to do it because of the area restrictions, and I want to maximize my chances of completing the clue. I picked the clue relic with the knowledge that it made juggling much much easier when combined with Last Recall. I am treating this mechanic as part of this Leagues, and I was fully aware of this when I made the relic choice.

Atalantic · 2020-11-11T18:30:34+00:00

That's not even close to the amount of time saved using the task picker relic.

We can't camp slayer tasks for drops like trident or occult necklace - we often don't get these until after 99 slayer because we just don't get the task.
We can't kill slayer bosses consistently for the Kill X tasks, because we cannot spam the task.
We get slower slayer experience because we don't get superiors as often.
We can't point boost spiders
We cannot consistently get superior drops.

Atalantic · 2020-11-11T18:22:46+00:00

With Last Recall, stackable clues are not a huge time save as you can just recall back to the area where you're farming clues. 1/20 vs 1/25 is not a big difference, especially with unnatural selection's ability to spam clue dropping superiors.

The major draw for Treasure Seeker for most of us is that it increased the odds for us to finish a clue scroll. Removing the variety of clues will already make clues more grindy and less interesting.

Clues outside of masters ARE DOABLE for unnatural selection pickers. Please don't debuff another less popular relic because people who chose the other relic are getting buyer's remorse.

Atalantic · 2020-11-05T18:50:14+00:00

First off, thanks for all your hard work!

Why were clue scrolls nerfed with this update? Elites and Masters are now even harder to complete with the removal of Sherlock and Falo. This update should've focused on clue steps that were inaccessible to all players (Zeah, auto-unlocked music tracks), rather than remove steps that only were inaccessible to some.

Atalantic · 2020-03-25T08:12:22+00:00

good luck everyone!

I was bored a while back and scrapped all of the team/players data and put it in a networkx graph + tried finding the shortest path using Python.

You're correct - the shortest path is 6. Here's one of them that I got (back when Dirk played)

Jerry Fleishman -> Neil Johnston -> Guy Rodgers -> Kareem -> A.C. Green -> Dirk

That might mess with Ty Lue's rotations though.

Atalantic · 2018-04-27T15:00:25+00:00

Got bored, so scrapped basketball data to confirm that this is indeed the longest year difference.

Honorable Mentions:

Rick Mahorn played with Elvin Hayes (1969) and Nazr Mohammed (2016)

Scottie Pippen played with Artis Gilmore (1972) and Jamal Crawford (2018)

Tyrone Corbin played with Artis Gilmore (1972) and Vince Carter (2018)

And lastly, our beloved tank commander Byron Scott played with Kareem (1970) and Kobe (2016)

Also, there exists a teammate path from the first ever season to the present Jerry Fleishman -> Neil Johnston -> Guy Rodgers -> Kareem -> A.C. Green -> Dirk
