i would have strongly advised against. as claimed, the recipients of the virus don't know what it does, only that they must pass it on. town figuring out that it millerizes is not a logical step, and a mislynch would almost certainly occur before town came to that conclusion. i would definitely want to keep it hidden on d1, perhaps have vecna claim something like - "i have a power but the mod wont tell me what it does" at most (if we wanted to go the route of claiming the role, as opposed to keeping it hidden entirely). on n1 we would probably want to infect 2 town that arent townread to ensure they remain mislynchable for the rest of the game, and maximize chances of a false guilty occuring. infecting a scum here is a possible choice, but seems low value, since a mislynch is required to occur before town realises whats going on. it may still be worth, something to think about as day progresses and into n1. on d2 i expect the infected would claim it, and that they must pass on it, at this point. perhaps they would be leashed to each other by town, or perhaps not - town doesnt know yet about the millering. correct deductions seem unlikely, chance of further spread is high. the decision would now need to be made whether to have vecna claim that he is the source of the virus, and either that he doesnt know what it does, or that it does nothing itself, but relates to him. perhaps he could try a benign 3p gambit, or perhaps he could claim that he unlocks abilities based on the number of people infected. staying hidden would confirm the source as a scum power, and be vulnerable rolecop-type invests, but still seems better than claiming it the way he has.In post 1197, BooneyToonzExpert wrote:Sore Feet,
Let's discuss this possible scenario. You are on the scum team with Vecna and Vecna's claimed role is truthful.
Would you have advised Vecna to out his role the way he did? Or would scum!you advise another strategic route?

if he and i were scum together he has either not sought my advice, or sought and disregarded it, and i imagine that i'd be busing him on principle somewhere in the front half of the wagon since i dont like teammates that make dumb decisions and wont work with me.
