I think I would have recruited if I were scum.
I mean, we already missed the exile. Skip the nightkill and the game is exactly where it started, which means no flips to give context to a reread.
So scum basically gets to start at square 1 but with a team.
Instead they've opted to get 1 kill ahead, which is also good for them but they've given us another chance to one-shot them.
I do agree that points to someone who feels pretty safely not under suspicion, or someone who's just gutsy AF.
You wouldn't, because you think it's more valuable to have the traitor not have any information than get a team but activate the JK. Right?
Clearly so does scum.
Had we succeeded in an exile day 1, I think it would have been a harder decision for me, because the tempo hit of not getting a kill would hurt more. Basically you'd be giving town one more kill than scum. But since we were helpful enough to skip our kill, I think that would have changed the math for me and made it worthwhile to recruit.
I'm very fixated on the vulnerability aspect though. Once again we're in a position to exile and win. ExWi, if you will, rather than ExLo.
