note: like all scumreading tactics there will be "false positives" but upon testing this one seems to have a high success rate
I've been recently playing games of town traitor finding some strategies I can use to get ahead.
I remembered that when evil I often don't know what to vote on one of my own faction members, so I wait to see if anyone outright says "inno" or "guilty" to avoid getting pushed.
That gave me an idea: What if I look for people that seem to be doing the same thing?
So I played 2 games where we put up an evil that didn't necessarily have too much evidence making it obvious.
In one of them, I picked 3 people. 2 were mafia, 1 was innocent.
In the second one, I picked 2 people. 1 was Traitor, 1 was innocent.
If you're still confused on how it works, here's an explanation:
Some people scumread by finding people that didn't vote for an evil in its entirety. This of course has flaws because you get half of the town, and most non-voters are innocent.
This strategy is different though. First, of course, you have to hang an evil. Then look for the people that voted not late, not early, but right in the middle. You should get around 3 or 4 people. Then, take those people and see if any voted AFTER someone says "Guilty, <optional evidence>" You might get 1 person, maybe 2, and sometimes 3. Its almost guaranteed that at least 1 is evil if you get 3 in the end, like a free psychic vision.
And that concludes this thread. Happy hanging!
