The main benefit is that if there is an important power role who is a blade but hasn't claimed, they won't have to claim to have a chance to be targetted.

Because as I said, drivers are overwhelmingly likely to target people who have already claimed as blades. Unless we think drivers are more willing to target unclaimed targets?
Drivers don't have to visit anyone at all if they don't want to.

If a driver wants to visit, they should visit a townread of theirs and pray they didn't visit scum.

Grouping players off potentially forces drivers into visiting scum blades, giving the scumteam info on who those particular drivers are that they wouldn't otherwise have gotten.

I wholeheartedly believe this and will fight for it

I think scum would rather to be given more wriggle room and locking them into a decision when we have the numbers advantage benefits us

I see nothing that states Drivers give a negative benefit to (not) picking a blade, therefore I think just going with a townread is a perfectly fine strategy and will create some rapport between Driver/Blade anyway if they accept

I wanted pools to allow some sort of tracking down the line if there was tomfoolery in the night actions. We can do free for all though.

My concept was essentially- Players pick a pool of 4. Person above them in the OP vetoes one. Person below vetoes one. Players then target between the two.

Why does it have to be so complicated vs something like target one of the three players below you

Because I understand a lot of this playerlist is excited about linking with certain people and wanted to make sure everyone had their fair chance. I did consider that option as well.
