Scum kingmaker

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Well, the threat of the vig should be enough to keep the king under control, so it'd essentially be nightless.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

No, Kelly, certainly not 1/3. If you treat it like that, the 5-8 on both lists essentially have to be not scum to get a town king. That's (4/12*4/11*4/10*4/9)^2 for a Town king. Approximately zero.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

If a scum were to be put between 5 and 8 in the other list, he has excellent odds of becoming the king. So that part of the list needs to be scumfree. And they're two lists. That's the math.
