basically this is 100% correct.
Either you guys don't think very deeply, or you don't think I do. (If I were to guess, I'd expect it was the latter, actually.
)
Three questions:
1. If you were scum, and town agreed to do this, would you kill on one of the three nights people were rolling d3s or would you wait until everyone had used up their arming?
2. If you were town, and town agreed to do this, would you go along with it, or lie and arm whenever you very well want to?
3. Do you know anyone who, as town, would not just lie?
I figured everybody (or at least everybody clever enough to warrant a shot in the first place) would lie and arm when they want, and scum would get stuck dealing with mountains of WIFOM.
One other thing we could do would be to openly discuss who should probably arm on any given night. This would, in the eyes of scum, raise the chances of being shot when killing to about 50/50, and the fact that we're openly discussing doing it helps them none. Basically, they'd have to outguess us instead of us just outguessing them. They get stuck with the WIFOM. They get irritated and make poor decisions instead of us doing it. And in any case, either less valuable targets die, or scum are more likely to get shot.
On the other hand, is there some way it would help scum? I'd like feedback on this idea, please.
