Example: You thought I was scum, sure I have a few votes on me, so you toss me a potato. I immediately toss it elsewhere. Your attempt to kill me fails. Fakevoting is giving the town a false sense of security, which we can little afford.
Except it gets thrown back to you if you do that. Repeatedly. You WILL die eventually, though it may be at the cost of a 1 for 1-2 trade depending on factors out of our control.
That flaw occurs in any plan to kill someone many people find scummy. So, the only thing not doing my plan has is random kills happening via throws, which has about the same success rate as the pure random exploding while the random distribution holds them. I will admit I failed to consider the scum hunting aspects of the throws before, and have come around to the throws + discussion view point.
But, I did offer an alternative, and just because you choose to ignore it doesn't make it any less an alternative.
After TSS called you out I believe.
Of course it matters if you're scum. Scum have a motive for wanting to get the town to follow a poorly conceived plan.
Unless you can deliberately see how my plan would be broken by scum, it should not matter. Scum can and do perform legitimately pro-town actions, especially on the game theory front when different mechanics apply.
