Under the guise of working for the town, scum decides to pov a candidate that many see as pro-town. In a moment of confusion, scum then looks good for going against the hoh (whom many think is scum).SlySly wrote: Could you please describe 1 good reason why scum would use POV quickly and early to save a townie when they could serve their team better by easily passing it to one of their scumbuddies for later use in the case that one of their team ended up on the block?
Don't forget that to get HoH, scum must look like they are acting in the town's interest as much as possible.
I think using the pov was paltry's misguided attempt to look better AND waste a pov when it was unnecessary, but still make it look like the pov was used in pro-town benefit.
Mostly, I think paltry used the pov to make himself look better, when it really wasn't used to the full benefit of the town.
I do not think that scum would bother pov their own scumbuddy unless they had support from the town. It makes things too obvious. I think scum are more likely to bus than appear obvious in this setup (2 scum teams plus the whole HoH thing)
In the first bb mafia, scum did nothing to indicate their own partners - did not send each other the pov, did not make a buddy hoh and put each other down. the place where bussing was less likely to occur was when it came to actual votes.
