Bah, I really wanted to hear from HC by now.
Anyway, if he's town HE has role information, so we're certainly not lynching him without him talking.
I used a software activity detector on him today and found out that he used a software activity detector N1.
This makes him more likely to be scum because it's unlikely town started with more than a couple of abilities, whereas scum probably started with about 2.
So P(did something | scum) is higher than P(did something | town) by a good margin which by Bayes rule makes him more likely scum.
I also find it more symmetric and modoutguessappealing that scum would start with a detector (rolecop is a better power for scum anyway) and we might get one from the mission. And the dude is just scummy.
I rolled out this information the way I did because I think the software activity detector isn't really useful for anything other than generating reads, which hopefully this exercise has done. I do think HC is a good lynch for today but this is not a 1v1, and I found how eager Fate / others seemed to be to make it into one unsettling.
I'll be able to read some more tomorrow.
