I’m not sure Wylted’s role is all that powerful, just annoying. Town can circumvent by just having everyone say who they voted for. Only really threatening in combination with the 1x politician, and that’s for mind games that help town figure stuff out.
For example they could target a townie but based on counting who’s claimed to be voting for who, we would know who they’re targeting. Scum could use that to try a fake being the target to get themselves townread, but it comes at the cost attracting attention to themselves when town knows they could just be using it for cred.
IMO they can only really use it to try and get away with a quicker lynch than normal if a few townies misvote, making a triple vote hammer an option.
But we could just get around that by agreeing not to until we have enough people supporting a lynch to vote it in.
Still, we don’t know if scum got the question right, so we can periodically check ourselves for that shit… although I guess it depends on how the politician works… I haven’t asked Linatic and I’m not sure if he’ll answer me
Back to the point, the incentive to refrain from voting wylted is nonexistent… also consider the reason why scum buses in the first place: to appear unpaired. Even if wylted’s role was useful, it does not mean scum won’t just bus him. The towncred is more important for them
This doesn’t mean that scum absolutely voted for Wylted, it just means you shouldn’t ignore the possibility of one or both being on Wylted’s wagon
