HURT: neighborhood watch to not have day talk early on could be more damaging then later when there a groove.
I also support printing press, it's pretty clear later stuff is gonna cost more than the current budget and if we don't keep up increasing it it may be days before we can pick something really good.
If you mean Trading Outpost to up the budget to 70k, I disagree. I initially felt like it was an obviously good choice but then I realized the budget doesn't carry over so the extra value is lost if it's not used. And there's very few ways to get an exactly 70k daily spend right now, even fewer of which seem any good. If there's something really cool that unlocks later and needs the boost we can go for the upgrade then. Remember, we can't use developments more than once so 70k is the most our regular daily budget will be and something like Sacrifice that gives a temporary boost will be needed in order to get a larger amount.
So possibly we want to wait to use Sacrifice. I was thinking our chances of hitting scum were worst on day one so the benefit was most likely to kick in, but was overlooking that it was separately handled by whoever voted for it rather than a function tacked onto the elimination, so that could be a bit alarming if scum are voting for it.

why would printing press be useful instead of just... unlocking the things?
It would be silly to assume we can unlock everything. So going down a path blind seems equally silly.
There's only three unlock developments. I don't see anything that indicates there will be more unlockables after that. The game making it through three nights seems pretty likely to me. Especially since scum may not have a nightkill. So yes, I think unlocking all three categories seems quite possible. Voting manipulation seems like a waste, though. Having non-standard vote weights is generally considered useless or antitown. So as much fun as it would be to campaign for mayor, I think ignoring those is probably the better way to go.

Raffle ($10,000) -- 50% chance that a random Citizen gets a fruit.
@Mod: Is the raffle decided publicly?
The lucky receipient of the fruit, if one exists, will be selected at random, and will not be announced publicly; the fruit is delivered privately
Yeah, that's how I expected it to work so it's odd that Roden thought it could confirm people. I don't see any way for it to do that, not with us not even knowing if the fruit went out or not. If we knew for sure fruit was going out, someone could claim it to be confirmed (or catch scum trying to fake-claim receiving it). But it's a notably weaker confirm when scum can take the 50% chance that there was no fruit and claim to have received it.

I was thinking flavour-wise, a group of political insurgents might try to recruit people to their cause, but with Intelligentsia on the billboard, there might be a mech case too. 10v3 is just the meta for two-faction 13p games, so us being able to ask about the number of Insurgents might suggest we either don’t have 3 or they can recruit more.

@mod - by default, will the alignment of executed players be revealed?

This feels fiscally irresponsible to me, but I'm not confident enough to argue it further
