It's who you vote for and when that's the single most useful source of information when scumhunting.
Who you vote for and when is the single most useful piece of information, but why is helpful as well.
Yes, people tend to use the same general types of arguments as either alignment, but they don't do so in the same way under the same circumstances. The way I think of it is that there is generally some divergence between scum play and "what that person would have done as town"; they're usually similar, but not quite the same. In key situations, the divergence becomes much bigger.
Cases are useful because there is a difference between the kind of cases you make as town looking for scum, and the kind of cases you make as scum when you're either trying to look town, flying under the radar, or trying to push mislynches. Different motives means you'll tend to go after different things in different ways; the general types of cases will be similar, but not the details.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
