The weirdness of the Scandalmonger role continues to gnaw at me.
It should be gnawing at everyone, even the wolves, since it is almost certainly a town role.
In W.O.M.H. the scandalmonger operates without any special intel.
Supposedly, he could somehow possibly get intel b...ut the role as written, is mostly hunch-driven.
As such, the Scandalmonger is mostly a nuisance role.
An experienced player might wisely choose to never even use such a role power becaus eit will only add to the game's WIFOM confusion.
I know, I know, that's 'no fun'... but who ever said Mafia was supposed to be fun??
So who would use it?
Either new Town players who thinks they should use their powers every chance they get,
..or else, not-so-new Town players who self-indulgently refuse to improve their game and do what is best for town.
I won't mention names here...
Nevermind, yes I will: Sonic and Maxleod.
In either case, I must insist that the Scandalmonger stop and listen to me.
@ Scandalmonger: If you are posting rumors based on nothing hunches that you derived from game post and/or meta-game reads, you will stop posting rumors for the good of Town.
You will only continue to post rumors if they are based on private intel that you received*.
This seems doubtful, since even today's rumor doesn't claim DDS is a wolf,but only says that he has not earned Town's trust.
No shit, DDS is not confirmed Town, we already know that.
* Actually, there is no likely game mechanism fo the Scandalmonger to be receiving secret Intel.
Not unless we imagine some bizarre scenario where the Scandalmonger and the Seer or Little Girl are Lovers** that communicate at night.
** Good grief!? I meant the in-game W.O.M.H. Lovers roles....
