Scum dayvigs have high swing
Dayvig a strong PR that claims, instant 1v1 win, might even be able to survive a phase or two
Don't give scum dayvigs in normal games ever imo

There's a reason town got best town for this. It was an epic beatdown to my face's face.

Every member of scum team should be a strongman versus a full doctor, that's just facts

people have things backwards imo

scum should never get a tool without town being able to counter it
town should have tools scum can't counter or it's scumsided.
2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.

In our business we call them "kickbacks", but the idea is still the same.
Antihero gave everyone free modkills for his mod games to those who backed him.

If you or someone you know supports Antihero, he will modkill players for you!
Antihero, a mod you can trust!

So, I recently was part of a mini that had a sweep by the town. No mislynches (though only because the D1 lynch was blocked!)
anyway, have been on both ends of SCUM sweeps before, but i have never seen a perfect town game iirc... And I got to thinking:

how common are they?
Town "perfect games"?

And what makes a perfect game?
No mislynches, obv.
Must one also avoid nightkills?

Please discuss.
No MLs is a sweep, but no townies dying is a perfect game.

Both are very rare.

The criteria for perfect game you provide falls short in setups without protection roles or other kill stoppers.

Not 100% of the time though :P
(I won a perfect game in a newbie cop/goon/goon, though I think the 2nd scum basically gave up)

I've participated in two town sweeps: no mislynch, no NK. But the setup was unusually predisposed to town sweeps.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Perfect win. Scum lynched day 1, doctor protected tracker night 1, scum lynched day 2.
I'm not sure how common town sweeps are other than that because other than that in my own experience I've played in a narrow town win and a scum sweep.
