Tree Stump has never been utilised particularly well. I was TS in P3 and stumped myself D1 so I could see out the rest of the game, but it didn't really pay off. It's surprisingly hard to effectively communicate your point when you can't put it in bold with a solid vote.
It may just be the case that we have to have smaller games until the board proves it can handle 20+ ones. This was kind of enacted a while ago due to general inactivity, but now I kind of think we need it because of the lack of confidence in a town successfully lynching 5+ scum in one game.
