Scum control roleblocker means NK doesn't go off unless they want it to?
NK doesn't go off and RB is claimed at least we can sort things out with hangings.
Um, no … there is way too many missing elements to this ‘plan’ and you should know that. Are you scum Grey?

No. Controlling the auctions was pretty key to the town's play last game (even if they didn't win, it was due to an investigation immune role that basically did nothing for 6 days). In fact it was really only when the town lost control of the auctions and started having everyone going off and doing their own thing and yelling at each other that they lost.
Remember, the abilities out there are the only abilities.
1) Someone has a doctor. If we know the NK is in the hands of town (or someone has claimed and claimed their target, which is good enough) then the doctor doesn't have to use any shots. Remember, doctor is 2-shot. The later in the game the doctor uses that power, the better it is - and the doctor need only use it when we've lost an NK.
2) Claiming isn't a big deal here. Lets say someone claims "I didn't win an auction!" Big deal. That just means they have more money and will be a PR later in the game. Meanwhile if someone won a PR now, they're not necessarily a threat. Scum can "wait out" the shots.
3) We can coordinate oracle information if we figure things out. At the moment, assume that there's 6 scum (3 teams of 3).
They might be restricted to $100 - that's not how last game went, but nothing went for $100 or $101 which are both totals which would suggest the scum have more than $100. The cop going for $91 in particular points to there being a lack of money on the scumteams. Last game the cop was considered more dangerous than the NK by the scum.
The roleblocker being town, or being controlled by the town makes everything so much safer.
Speaking of which, we should totes make sure someone invests day 1 and 2 and then advertise cop day 2 (Magua adopted my suggestion for advertising).
Remember, I've spent more time analyzing this setup than anyone else except maybe Magua. It's not your normal setup.
