However, with 4-5 already confirmed town, the chances of multiple people in a group of 3 being anti-town is much higher. In that case even though getting a true result is amazing, getting a false is much less helpful. If you detect two of the scummier (or lurkers likely to be lynched), then a true gets us on the right track, where as a false allows us to choose which one we think is scum and lynch them (which we would be doing anyway, since they're the scummiest or since people seem to like to lynch lurkers here.)akrolsmir wrote:
it might be better to just confirm 3 people as town- the reasoning being that knowing that at least one out of two scummy people are actually mafia doesn't put us that much ahead, since we might have to spend two days to hit the one person. While it'll be very good to know if one of the people who is giving off a townie feel is actually scum.
TLDR: Doing 3 is much riskier and less likely to help than 2 at this point.
About two: I find nothing hard to believe at all about two faking a Q roleclaim. It's not that hard to figure out how to fake, and it is two we're talking about. He's not new to this game.
