Okay. Now explain why they'd use it. Or continue using it.
Being a day rep means having power. We can argue all day about if that power has a big influence at this stage in the game but it is an EXTRA power all the same. I think scum learned of this new ability on N1 or at least that is the first night they could use it and I believe they did.In post 8050, Jingle wrote:Okay. Now explain why they'd use it.

How is ending the day not an extra power?In post 8052, Jingle wrote:It really isn't extra power.
It's a way scum can out themselves if they want, but it's not extra power. And any halfway intelligent player would have seen that D1.
But they can also NOT vote to end the day. If 2 scum are on the Day Rep team and a scum partner is the leading wagon they can let the day go all the way to the deadline in the hopes that the wagon falls apart. I am not trying to imply that is the best strategy for scum but it is an option they can use and also create a load of WIFOM.In post 8054, Jingle wrote:Because they can't end the day.
It takes 3/4. If half of the day reps aren't scum, scum doesn't have any real influence to end the day prematurely.
If three day reps vote to end the day while discussion is still happening, they become obvious scum because the mechanic is public. Normally, that means they'd only do it when ending the day wins them the game, but they still can't do that here, because we can still vote in twilight. It's literally a completely useless role.
I think the day rep stuff will only be helpful in retrospect, just a piece of the puzzle.In post 8057, Jingle wrote:I agree. If they want the scum team can choose to out themselves using the day rep mechanic. They could also claim, so we should probably just wait for them to claim and not scumhunt til then.
And arguing that the scumteam is going to use the day rep mechanic for WIFOM is itself introducing WIFOM about the mechanic.
Why do you want to lynch me? Am I really your 2nd scum read behind N&m?In post 8059, Elsa Jay wrote:Still wondering who we're lynching between Nev or Fishy. My vote is still on Nev.
If I have correctly understood the flow of the game today, the people who most players want to lynch today are myself, N&M, EJ and Jingle.In post 8061, Creature wrote:Are Nev and Fish our only scum candidates?

That's an interesting answer to another question.

Your turn
The only night so far where this would have been remotely advantageous was probably D3 but I think that scum is most likely to leave it for LYLO.In post 8049, BrightEyedFish wrote:Here is where I learned of the "bolded information". Directly from Boon's announcement of the Day Rep ability. I bolded the parts that answer how I understood the information.In post 8041, Jingle wrote:
First, that quote tells us only that scum can (but doesn't have to) choose a player to be a day rep. It doesn't tell us scum can't choose a town player. It does in fact tell us scum can choose not to choose a player to be a day rep.
Where did you get the bolded information?
"Last Night Tomorrow FACTS!!!
Did you know...that the Mafia Team has an additional factional ability that allows them the opportunity to pickone of themselves as a Day Rep? They don't have to use this ability,but starting Night 1, it definitely became available!"
