i would also argue that vigs often vig people who would be lynched without them anyway, including

- confirmed scum by investigations
- confirmed scum by a counterclaim flipping town
- highly likely scum due to the lynchee's flip

my definition of anti-town is mostly "would the game have gone better had the vig been a named townie instead"

but my point is that if said vig is at a point where they can confirm someone as scum

the town was likely to win anyway

i have seen many games where i've thought
"wow town would've lost without the cop"
or
"wow town would've lost without the doc/JK/RB stopping that kill"

it is rare that i see games thinking "wow town would've lost without those vig shots"

in fact i see more games thinking "wow town would've won that if not for the vig"
