But a cop can confirm town as well as identify scum? Like even if no one was able to investigate scum, it would still be useful to confirm some townies |
That would be completely up to the game setup. If all scum are John Smith, then the number of shared names among Town would be a knob the mod could tune to give Town extra investigative ability. If Town players are all paired up, then the investigations would clear a couple of people per Day on average just based on the odds. That's probably too pro-Town of a game, so something less favorable is more likely, IMO.
Note that I'm not suggesting that the most likely scenario is that all the scum have the same name, that was just a hypothetical to explore the ways different distributions of names could impact the outcome of a mass claim. Right now it's pure speculation, it will be easier to narrow things down once we have some investigation results and a couple of dead bodies.
