The only way to avoid executing the tomboy daughter without giving any information away is for NK to randomize something to execute. The more randomness involved, the less information we give away. So if we offer up two and NK randomly picks one, that's twice as good as if we just execute one and pray.

... Except that the one who survived is not going to disappear from people's radars, and the above effect becomes weaker the more times someone survives being on the stand. The net effect is it either screws up our scumhunting by forcing us to treat the scummiest living player as conftown, or it makes us jump through a lot of hoops for a benefit that's not nearly as great as it seems.
Okay, but that person isn’t necessarily always going to still be scummy right? Like, let’s say there are duelling wagons, and we’re fairly sure there’s
a
scum in there but that it’s unlikely both are scum

In that case, if we flipped the scum, the second player would likely be off the concern list the second day while we hunted for partners

But that’s to neglect the overall point which is that that’s yet another example of my scumgame being good, to the point of fault

I’m not saying my scumgame is beyond reproach, I’m saying I’ve won convincingly against strong players on multiple occasions and have been mechguiltied on others

There’s definitely some duds in my history, but those have nearly all been from when I’ve been tired from playing scum games right before them and there is a general trend of people not acknowledging that my scumgame is pretty strong and it’s frustrating

I don’t wanna make this into a metaphorical dick measuring contest of “oh I fooled you” “on no you didn’t” “oh well I could have lynched you” “oh no you couldn’t have”

I got someone lynched for saying some arbitrary phrase and I was a lyncher and I was just like “yeah that phrase is in my role pm and says there’s a scum with That I. Their role pm”

It was a good time.

It’s okay my dude we all get that way sometimes

I confess to not having done much scumhunting, I've been pretty demotivated across the board.

This is mostly a prodge and a plan to try and read critically and get some ideas tomorrow. Still stand by the Titus vote but haven't read.

Hello, nice to meet you! I am sorry that you dislike that.

I caught up on my phone while on a car ride home from a vacation (don't freak out, I wasn't driving). I harbor no illusion about my ability to formulate, remember, and coherently express reads in such conditions (my ability to do so while catching up is dubious in the best of situations).

On the other hand, I can, and will, give detailed mechanical discussion without having a great sense of the game's history. In fact, if anything, this will serve as a jumping off point for engagement going forward. I can't say I'm surprised that you don't like it-- there's usually SOMEONE-- but I can assure you it is both in good faith and for the best.

I hold a pretty simplistic view of consensus reads for mechanical purposes, and it assumes that this doesn't happen.

Sure it could happen, but I think it's rare. Bussing is a thing. I don't think it's a significant enough factor to affect my calculation, especially given how subjective it is.
