For one thing, we don't know who is scum and who isn't. We're far more likely to hit town than scum with these oneshot kills. Useless people still have a function: they prevent scum from winning. Townies aren't machines; we're human. We make mistakes and can also drop scumtells, and be seen as scummy. So you want all of our oneshot kills to be used on targets that could also be town. This would be a waste of three oneshots.
...What? Under this logic, we shouldn't lynch either. We should lynch the person we think is scummiest, then shoot the 3 people we think are next scummiest. Otherwise we're just throwing the decision over to the mafia, who will kill someone who is 100% town and the person they want eliminated most. Summary: Kill on a person who most of the town thinks is scum vs kill on the person the mafia wants dead most.
There's no reason to hold onto these kills - they could be lost when the person dies or used to break lylo if the person is a mafia member.
Furthermore, that doesn't keep scum from killing at all. It just makes it so they don't need to kill as much.
That particular plan doesn't. The fact that we have a tonne of roleblockers, redirecters and other disrupters does.
I'm town. My oneshot tells me which actions affected which targets. It says nothing about who performed them, so I'll send Think a PM for verification. Only scum would be worried about the ability you thought I had, Leafsnail.
I'm not "worried" about your role, and I never said anything remotely to that effect. I can just see that it's far too good for a townie to have. It's like how the Exterminator Alien can have access to Intel in Paranormal, but that information would clearly be broken in the hands of a town player. I guess I don't know much about Think's modding, but this ability just seems like a very cheap way to net scum (since you don't even have to aim it). So in other words, I felt like your role was one that a survivor/ serial killer might have, or else a mafia role.
I guess you clearing up the misinterpretation of it makes it a lot weaker and maybe plausible for a townie to have, but it still means that the mafia definitely cannot kill in the night you use it (because we'd just have to see whoever's action is missing and bam, that person killed (and it'd be worse if someone falseclaimed at some point). You wouldn't be able to lie about using it either if some players had semi-randomized targets under the plan). And if you went through with your initial decision not to claim this, that would've made it even more broken.
But in any case there's no point in lynching you today because, whatever your alignment, you claiming this has completely locked the mafia down for tonight. Heck, if you die sometime I could even use your ability again to leave the mafia completely helpless for another night.
