I disagree; that clue was vague enough to lead to anything at all, which added fuel to the scummy-seeming fire. Watch this:


When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to The Golden Boys, starring Bruce Dern and...Rip Torn. So obviously I knew I was named Rip!

When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to Bruce Jenner, who's married to Kris Jenner, ex-wife of Robert Kardashian, who was part of the OJ Simpson defense team, and we all know the judge in that trial was Lance Ito, so obviously I knew I was named Ito!

When I gave the "Bruce" clue, I was referring to "Bruce's Ark", the world's largest privately constructed nuclear fallout shelter. So obviously I knew I was named Ark!

except that he was town... and blatant anti-town behavior isn't his scum play nor is it for most players. your examples seem quite well thought out. are you scum by any chance?

dId you know he was Town before he was lynched?

~~~~~~~~~~~~
previously we were lucky with a presumed ( now known) Town leading the investigations

-if we handed it to Scum we could end up in a sticky spot

it makes sense - to me- if a player is going to investigate out of their clique {ie all pairs are attempted} that it be someone they find suspicious

I think that would decrease the odds of one player orchestrating?

I understand that he was Town; I'm disagreeing with your assertion that a clue as broad as "Bruce" has any substantial meaning.

Those examples took 5 minutes total, resulting from googling Bruce + ark/Ito/rip. Which was my whole point, that a broad clue like that can easily be turned to mean just about anything.

In this case, yes, we see now that he was Town, but there was no way to know that at the time, even with a crumb like "Bruce". You say that vague crumb was indicative of his Townieness, but I'd add that vagueness to his list of mis-steps.
