When scum are he major wagons?

JJ, does it freeze future votes too or are they still moveable after they vote?

I don't think she's gonna hipshoot it though

We should attempt to reach a consensus. I am objectively going to be using ZA WARUDO when that timer runs out unless Mastina has gladiated by then.

no, Jingle is too busy bitching about no one scumhunting and not pressuring anyone.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

People who are voting at the time of the freeze are the only ones affected. In fact, if everyone unvotes just before I do it, then you'd all be unaffected. The only effect would be the prevention of abilities such as gladiates.

NSG does seem to be quite a popular wagon. That seems like a good place to start.

Right okay, exactly what I figured. How the hell is this antitown, especially if announced!?

Like, jjh is quite towny for suggesting its usage here

So... What you're saying is that if we're already going to lynch scum, the role helps us to lynch the scum we're already going to lynch.

You see how that is literally 0 utility, right?

Compared to, we have 5 three vote wagons, he za waraji's and it becomes literally impossible to lynch. Compared to we run someone up and they claim a protown role, and JJ can paralyse. We no longer have a chance to lynch anyone else.

right but there's not and it takes more than me to do shit. Mastina needs to start pressuring ppl or if she's still sick or busy or w/e she needs to replace out.

This is only scum utility if unannounced! They gave full intention to use it and are letting us unvote so this doesn't happen!

Neither of these are possible unless they didn't announce it, and there is no reason to use it this early, assuming its limited shot, for scum! It would be far more useful in lategame for the things you just mentioned to cripple the town. I fully support getting it out of the way now!

There is literally 0 utility in his role from town. The correct play is to never ever use it.

There is crazy high scum utility in his role. Like: exactly what he's doing right now.
And yet no one is voting rn?

Here’s the thing: he gave a warning. That alone makes it more towny. Plus: it’s an RC Upick, so you really think this speculation of this being a pro-scum ability means jack shit?
