I don't think it is a guaranteed scum catch
It's more like this: if we end up voting out town, then we get to use Recount as a parity cop check. If we end up voting scum, then scum can self hammer and mess up the Recount result so the result isn't useful in this scenario -- we would have spent $60k on something not useful.

But....it is useful, because....we found a wolf through their self voting actions, even if they do mess up recount (that's what I meant by 'guaranteed'). Right?
I meant that the mafia would self hammer close to end of day as possible, after it has been collectively decided they are today's lim (so they were going to die anyway)
Thinking about it some more, Recount is almost like an insurance policy... we would get more info if we mess up today, and I think that's not a bad thing
I also just looked at the billboard again and there really is not much else better lol
Like even if you do have scum jump on recount at deadline, it accomplished it’s job BETTER than just saying 1 scum between X and Y because Z claimed before anything has to even resolve.
Sacrifice or Assassination today actually would make sense I think unless we have a good plan for recount
We could also do the one for more investigative projects

I finally get it, thanks for explaining it to me. Okay, I'm still open to it as an insurance policy, but I'm also open to other projects. Maybe Census and Neighborhood Watch?

We can do sacrifice with recount (it's the only other thing we could do I think bc we'd be out of money)
So I've been thinking about inquiry. I think the fact that it is there means we are being mislead about something and it's worrying. Not sure what it could be

Counter argument if we do it correctly and it's all town we can have a few people clear correct?

Like, the argument is 'let's not do something that can be messed up by scum OUTING THEMSELVES' but then we'd have an outed scum.
I'm guessing Leaf can't participate today.
