Like you shouldn't read into its content more than it being a joke, but its INTENT right, at that time?
mixed with Taylor's defense of Noraa being all meta here, making it kind of unarguable. Plus them being like "just sort them later, just sort them later".
It could definitely be intended as a soft defense to make Noraa's thing look less suspect since more people meme'd about it right?
Here's the problem in a game like this with "sorting someone later" right?
you can't think of this like a 15-5. Because every scum death minus the last one, also equals a town death.
Which means if we kill 4 scum, we're down 4 people, plus a kill is 5 guaranteed deaths.
Which means best case scenario we need to knock 5 townies off our townie list and start from there. Only way this doesn't happen is if it's best case scenario of execute a scum, scum passes to a townie, townie kills a scum.
however since the scum know who each townie are likely to murder, they will generally pass to people who won't murder them.
So usually, we're getting 2 town deaths for a scum death.
So consider it a 10-5 nightless vanilla with extra walking corpses.
if we go down a 3 town death hole and end up 7-5, we're in a _bad_ state cause the ration doesn't like to change.
Like... 12-5, even if we get 4 scum in a row, assumign 2 town to 1 scum looks like...
10-4
8-3
6-2
4-1
3-1 (from the kill shot)
So that's like a... REASONABLE outcome for this game, right? If things play on average. that puts us in an okay position because the next scroll just needs to include the scum on it.
But imagine we get even ONE MORE MISS.
and it's suddenly 9-5
7-4
6-3
4-2
2-1
1-1 from shot
We're done. We would need a townie miracle recovery where we kill 2 scum in one cycle of curses to win.
That's why putting people "off until later" is bad. Because we need to find and kill scum to get evidence as best as possible and we can't afford to triple miss.
Which is why I'm suspicious of anyone who is halting wagon progress that is developing information.
