Ethics of Scumplay

[Zorblag]

So Troll can think of many games where Troll as town would have been most irritated if other players had the ability to 1v1. Or where as scum Troll would have been pretty happy to have them have it. Troll tends to think that it be likely to favor scum more of the time than not, though that be based on Troll's expectation of scum behavior. Troll expects town to be more likely to make pushes which seem scummy than scum because scum care more about what them look like than town do. Troll thinks that this would discourage proactive pro-town play because players would be more concerned about looking scummy to others than them were previously (especially as Troll thinks that town would be more likely to initiate these.)

Troll tends to think that the whole needing to get town to support a lynch if you strongly feel it be the right one no needs the prism of giving no other options. This in a game seems to Troll like it would encourage the more aggressive players in a way that Troll no thinks them need encouragement. It also seems to take away flexibility for the more subtle players which Troll no be a fan of.

Perhaps it would work like gang-busters, but Troll has serious reservations.
