There's a scum utility to being the top of the list if you wouldn't actually try to be the Voice, but I'll hold off on explaining why until more people weigh in on the question because I think it's an interesting area to develop conversation and reads."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

@mod, the rules reference hidden permanent rooms that we can interact with at our own risk. Can you confirm whether any of these hidden rooms are potentially labs?"He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

In many permutations of the pl it's probably me
If there's some combination of like you, abr, pine and me being scum it might be up for debate, but i would also imagine that there would be elaborate distancing shenanigans
I think you're ranking pine too low, bu agree with your assessment of abr. Not sure what you mean by 103 tho

Has an item =/= would be a better scumkill.
There is absolutely no guarantee that an item is positive utility, or that exploring a room doesn't just drop you in a pit trap and do damage.
OTOH, having a rough idea of how often we're going to hit labs is potentially useful as we weigh whether labs need to be focused on. (Individually)."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

Ah. I'd guess that you'd be right above me in the list.In post 115, Fun and Games wrote:(Just gonna out this cuz i can tell i'm gonna get frustrated: this is skitter, *waves*)
Pine certainly could fulfill the role of scumlord with extra power, sure. He wouldn't though. Pine doesn't like to solo endgame, he likes to set up his team to win after he goes down. Given that option in the pregame, he pretty much always goes for the latter, I think.
And because someone asked: The Voice is one of the scums that makes the secondary scum win con slightly easier to achieve while they're alive. (Functionally, they require one fewer lab to win.) Scum chose which one of them would be the Voice in the pregame. There may or may not be additional benefits or restrictions associated with being the voice.
Admittedly, the assignment of the voice would seem to mean very little in most cases, but I think there's a way we can twist the mechanic to town's advantage, and want to hear people's thoughts on whether or not they (or others) would likely want to be the voice and why, both in pursuit of that and as a way to kick off legitimate scumhunting."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

Yeah, that's why I said higher chance. Scum doesn't really have a reason to target people who went to a lab. It narrows down night actions for them.
And scum has an additional attack, they can steal and attack for damage.- Fun and Games

I have been thinking about the setup and below are some of my thoughts so far.
I've played similar games where there are rooms etc and one way to find the bad guys is to have a running tally of actions etc.
It seems one way the scum could kill people is by attacking them at night as one of their actions - as room exploration, lab deactivation attacks are not public actions.
In lieu of a standard nightkill, the scum have an anonymous attack - they also could attack somebody directly if they believe they have a good chance of killing them as a dead person is unable to say anything.
They can also use their nightactions to attack a person directly,
For example the entire scum team could attack Bingle and if they succeed in dealing him enough damage - he would not be able to tell us who his attackers were as he is dead.
One way I thought of to deal with this is if we coordinate our night actions on rooms that provide verification.
For example if all of us were to use the gym - all of us would get a speed increase of 1 - scum who would try to do something evil would not get this speed increase and be exposed.
Also @Nosferatu - what happened to your knowledge? Did the scum use their factional ability to reduce it? This would put you very close to dying if I am reading the rules correctly and you should go to the library to fix this.
Also as for mech-speculation - I do not believe it is a priority to destroy the labs currently as our player count is quite high - it would make sense imo to have higher knowledge players destroy labs.
A player with a knowledge score of 3 has only a 10/27 chance of de-activating a lab successfully - and failure would be a wasted action on the part of the town. Also the lower the probability of success is, the easier it is for scum to do something evil and pretend like his night-action was to de-activate a lab when it really was not.

It also seems to me to be a priority to have a player with a very high knowledge stat that can reliably destroy labs now and later when they become activated - an activated lab has only a 1/27 chance of being de-activated by someone with knowledge 3 - but it is much better odds at knowledge 5-6.
This game is unique in that the scum do not have the ability to outright nightkill a player if I am reading the rules correctly - hence if we were to stack a universal town-read with knowledge items, that player could have a very high knowledge stat and do the job of destroying any labs we find. - In fact if I'm reading the rules correctly this would not even require a universal town-read - if for example a player has some innate profession that gives bonus to knowledge - we could stack them with knowledge items and use them to destroy any labs we find.- Ydrasse

i'm fine with a running tally of actions personally. i think that holding people to doing certain things/knowing what they did definitely makes it easier. also thanks for doing the numbers on the knowledge score stuff because while i am bad with numbers i agree with that sentiment.
however, i don't know how to feel about stacking a single player? like, say that the doctors decide to attack the stacked person one night; they use the factional attack, and then (presuming all are alive here) all attack the same person. if they're worried that they can't kill that night, they can just use their one-shot to make themselves anonymous and do the same thing tomorrow to kill them off, since at that point i think the odds would lean much more towards the doctors being able to kill whoever was stacked? also, whoever we try to stack up will most likely end up the target of the -1 knowledge loss each night.
it seems safer to me to try and have a more even spread among everyone statwise because we could lose a lot of time/resources by pouring them into one person who we might lose quickly. also, i think that it being a utr would be more beneficial because... well, you trust them. doctors could have a knowledge-based ability that boosts them and we wouldn't be any the wiser until we start investing into them and oh, that's weird, why aren't any of the labs destroyed yet.warrior cats mafia is now in a queue near you!
