Oh man. I hope it doesn’t come across as flippant to wish you good luck MHaye. I’ve had life changing medical test results turn out to be incorrect, and it’s rough, but better than the alternative.

I had to follow the quote trail to figure out where you were coming from (and it goes back even further). How exactly do you think town should change strategies? Sure, the wolves can start trying to hunt mafia specifically, but they know who is on their team. They can hunt amongst the rest of the pool for true scummy behavior and vote or kill for it instead of just taking the expedient option. Town, on the other hand, has a much harder time differentiating between just overall scummy behavior and specific wolf or mafia behavior.
As Pleo pointed out, are you talking about endgame or now? Endgame can come later, and I don’t see a reason to do anything other than hunting “scum” now. We can use patterns and interactions that point to one team or the other for clues, but to concentrate on one scum team in particular might exclude a player more likely to be scum because they don’t match the pattern.
It’s a numbers game, and all scum count against us.

This seems contradictory. If a dead body is a dead body, why put much effort into hunting mafia? This post pings me. It is accusatory, but I don’t understand how TexCat is getting from point a to b. I have issues with paul’s post, but the fact that the wolves might change strategy based on two of their team getting killed seems obvious, so I think you are reading his post very differently than I am. I read it and thought, “how are you saying town should change their game?” It looks like you read it and thought, “how are you saying scum should change?” See the difference?
FOS TexCat. Something doesn’t feel right with you. I want to review the lynch leaders, but I think you just jumped in front of them.
