Anyone who votes for players on the Voltaire wagon: Why is that better than lynching off-wagon?
I think that it is very likely that scum is on-wagon. Why is that? Because you, PPS, and Ashersky took him from L-3 to lynch in a very short window. Not enough time for scum to have a "wait up here lets think about this some more. unvote" post that would be forgotten and written off.
I don't care to look up examples, but I am sure some of you who have been scum several times can give examples of voting for your partner early in the day with a safe vote, but removing that vote at a good time. f.ds mafia tends to almost always take the full amount of time every day, so ending the day 48 hours before evening and a full 96 hours before the end of the day could have easily caught scum on-wagon.
This makes sense with regards to narrowing the pool of candidates. I also agree with the premise but I don't count on it being effective. Narrowing the pool represents two things depending on alignment. For scum it is a method known as forcing where you appear to give choice but limit those choices to the desires of the former towards a known outcome. For town it basically means we forgo our individual scum hunting skills for an easier consensus, basically admitting we just don't know what we're doing so let's just trim our options.
I happen to think scum is more likely off wagon. However, they could have easily been half on half off, no way they were all on there.
Let us assume half on half off and that we drop the final 3 voters on the wagon leaving 5 candidates. 20% odds of hitting the one scum in 5. Guess how many people were off wagon, that's right, 5. Thus, unless there is a compelling case that scum was either all on or all off I think this method offers no advantage over other means of locating scum.
