If you recall, Modbot was not quite happy with help test 3, throwing curveballs in automation every cycle; this makes sense, as the game’s very name was ‘help test 3: exploiting modbot for unholy purposes.’ You must see now why I’ve spent months trying to figure out how to appease Modbot so that my next automated game goes smoothly.

After spending countless hours looking through ancient texts and scouring library after library, I’ve realized that the best solution is to offer a blood sacrifice, and that I must do so soon, before the grudge becomes permanent. And that is what Modbot shall get, a glorious bloodbath, though, of course, it will remain in theme with the help test series, being automated, open, and hopefully replicable (lol).

Watch out guys, help test 4: a blood sacrifice for modbot is out.

I’ll make sure to bury your bodies properly.

yes

I don't think? it should be too much of a problem as they're only 1/7 of the game, but it's possible wolves don't have enough kp tbh.

I feel like the fact that all the town kills are poisons sort of makes up for that because it allows wolves to utilize their kills a lot more effectively bc sui bomb + dayvigs. Still not too impactful though, will take another look at this in a bit.

Oh, and there's also the redirector, which, if used well, is even more wolf kp.

wow
this sure looks swingy

wait so how does JOAT work
is it 1 action per phase?

[Twice Shrunk]

ye

[SheepButBad]

Is the suicide bomber 1-shot (would a UB after the SB dying first be able to use a suicide bomb themselves)

What does "non-consecutive" mean for a redirector? like if you target players A and B n1 is targetting B and A n2 acceptable (ordered)?

Also this setup feels almost breakable by massclaim but redirector (& joat having a poison) seem to counteract it.

[Twice Shrunk]

UB should be able to use sui bomb.

Non-consecutive should mean that they cannot put the same players for A and B twice in a row.

I will test this/ask mak eventually and confirm
