FEDS VS SMUGGLERS DAYNIGHT 5

If the first 4 scumreads are town (0% read accuracy), eliminating 4 people and making the rand 4/10 instead of 4/14 must be worse

We could assign a percentage for Smogon read accuracy and calculate optimal play from there, but we might also have to take into account standard deviation if Smogon Town is worse than normal (in which case randing could be better than trying to play optimally and performing below expectations)

Nobody asked why but I’ll tell you:

We had a PTCG pocket party for the mini expansion

Me and my friend had 30 packs each saved up, some others had like 10 or so

We ripped them all. For each pack that was opened, you called a color beforehand (eg fire water grass). If your color doesn’t show up in the 5 card pack you take a shot of soju

For every 2 star and above pulled, everyone takes a shot of tequila

And then you could also name a specific card and if it shows up in a pack then everyone else takes a shot of tequila

In retrospect I heavily underestimated how much drinking this was and now I’m just thinking that someone should make it illegal to be this hungover on a Wednesday

Surely we could run some simulations to find out mathematically how smogtown can improve their read accuracy
 
Let me see.

I’m realizing that some combination of reads and randomization is probably best

I’m very hungover
I haven’t done the math but intuitively I think it must be the case that you choose whatever group of people you have reasonable confidence in are scum, and then randomize outside of that

The randomization is very important because it is what prevents scum from being able to get two on the same person

I do think no talking is best since the scum chance of victory scales almost entirely with how many investigates they’re able to get every cycle
