Other things worth saying at this time:
- Cops should aim for their scumreads rather than townreads, innocents are at best half useless and possibly completely useless
- Cops should only claim results on a guilty or if they are about to be lynched
- Crumbing roles is terrible here and should be avoided
- Crumbing innocent results should be kept pretty subtle, it's a much bigger deal to out yourself than for us to miss the crumb
- Sisko should target a scumread every night, hitting an NK well worth the risk of blocking town
- Sisko shouldn't claim if there are fewer NKs than expected, too many things can do that, but he should heavily suspect his previous night's target
- Bashir, Garak, Yates, and Winn should really be saving their shots for as late in the game as they think they can manage
- Garak really needs to crumb his bus driver targets if he uses that one (I would)
I cut a few things I didn't want to say, but everyone should best think about how to use their role to help town (especially scum)
GARAKBiggest thing is probably that last one, Garak could die on the night he Bus Drives someone, and that casts a lot of suspicion on other PR usage, so in the event of Garak's death, we need to be able to look back and figure out who the targets were, to the point that it's probably worth figuring out who to target before the night starts. Best use of Bus Driver is to attempt to redirect an NK back onto scum, but scum want to kill other scum, so it's a bit complicated here. I'd propose Garak target his top 2 scumreads the night he Bus Drives: if both are scum and one is NKed it's a wash, but if 1 is scum and 1 is town, it potentially saves the town and takes out a scum, and that's more likely than the scum being shot and being redirected onto town, which is obviously possible but the saving town is significantly more likely than random.
Given all that, I think Garak should just make sure to always have a pretty unambiguous top 2 scumreads going into the night and redirect one into the other if he decides to use his shot that night. I think he should hold off on shooting (and not take the Lightning Rod power) as long as possible, but this would significantly limit how many PRs we have to worry about having been redirected and how much WIFOM scum can throw around about it.
To that end, I'm going to make a point of having a very clear top 2 scumreads every night and I think everyone else should as well. And since it's 1-shot, scum don't get any POE out of the hypoclaims here like they would with an ungated power.
