you know this post has me thinking

say i was scum. i start chain hunt. you guys lynch me. default is spare, person survives (acknowledging i said kill yesterday but again, clarifying today to say that the default was spare).

what is the scum equity in claiming at all if that gives town the ability to completely mitigate the effect of the chain hunt by lynching me. why would i claim as scum?

It's all WIFOM, please shut up about it. You're not gaining any ground with this. You claimed because you thought getting out ahead of it would give you town credit, and you were essentially host confirmed to have this role. If you're able to convince people that this was a town role, then you coast to endgame. That's the equity. That's the reason you claim. Also the fact that you DIDN'T tell us default was spare. You told us default was kill. So YOUR LIE TO TOWN led us to believe that if we lynched you, then an extra death on FD would happen anyway. You can't say "Why would I claim as scum if scenario B" when you actively chose scenario A instead. The hypothetical is bunk.
