Sorry for triple post.
I'll restate my original idea---if there are flaws in it please let me know.

Basically we come up with a list of targets that should be shot into tonight. If anyone dies outside of those targets we know they are scum kills. If scum chooses to fuck with us and shoot into our targets then they are doing our job for us.

The above may seem fairly obvious but with protects going out and 'lone gunmen' acting of their own accord it's possible that we may have different than the assumed number of scum NKs so we don't want any shots getting 'lost.'

You want to create a list of people that scum shouldn't kill? Isn't that just helping scum?

You create a list of vig targets, right?

Scum now have a list of town players that they shouldn't kill. They will deliberately avoid these players because they do not want to waste a night kill shooting into a possible vig target. It makes their job to decide a NK a lot easier.

Have you ever played scum, FT?
Scum always know who they're going to kill. If I were scum this game, I know who I'd kill.
It's not going to be anyone on our list, because we wouldn't be shooting these people if they were useful members of the town. Scum wants to shoot useful members of the town.

EVEN IF we were somehow helping them by leading them towards good targets, we have an unknown number of protects. In fact, one could even argue that narrowing down their 'good shots' can be good for us because it forces them to shoot into a pool of people we will be protecting.

Wave idea is born from how the thread and lynched played out.

It's not a policy motive.

I think its best if u catch up on the thread.
