TigerWoods and his mistress Claim
Tiger's claim is highly interesting. I myself have never seen this movie, and I'm not particularly putting emphasis on flavor. However, I'm highly more interested in those adamantly demanding Tiger use his ability on himself. However, these same individuals are also not tackling him as so scummy, as I saw the majority of the pressure BEFORE the...claim, albeit a premature claim.
I'm not one for assumptions, but if you're adamantly demanding that he use his present on himself, then not attack him as a scum member, then you're obviously contradicting the nature of the player vs. the nature of the present.
Let's think for a second here and anaylze a few key ....scenarios:
Tiger is scum, his presents are in scum's favor:
-Using the present on himself gives him more powers
-Using the present on others = ??????
Tiger is town, his present's are in town's favor:
-Using the presents on himself gives him ...? More powers? We're not sure here.
-Using the presents on others gives the possibility of giving scum an advatnage.
Tiger's Alignment not Factored in, Present's are favorable to those who receive them.
-Using the present on himself is a canceling-out null tell.
-Using the present on others is a risk. As scum, he'd never do this. As town, it'd be a risky chance trying to select town from scum
Tiger's aligment not factored in, present's may be favorable or detrimental to those who receive them:
-Using the present on himself = Tiger's chance of being inhibited.
-Using the present on others = Tiger's chance of inhibiting others
I believe I've tackled most scenarios. I don't see town doing this, but I'd like you to evaluate from all possible scenarios BEFORE making assumptions that presents are inherently detrimental/beneficial.
Now what can we take from this? Ugh, you know, all this work and I'm still at a crosswords. What I do notice, however, is that the chance of Tiger hurting himself/helping himself and hurting others/helping others is....even, or for the information we have, points to being even.
Tiger.....should use a present. It's more important to see what these presents may DO then to take the chance and lynch a helpful-looking-ish townie. It also doesn't hurt that I get a general townie vibe from him. Kinda...like...purehearted. I dunno how to describe it.
Using it on himself? Basically a self-guinea pig, I presume. Well, that's a chance he'd have to take on his own. IMO, there should be more information that he's withholding...but I'm not inclined to pressure him at the moment for that information and to distract town from scumhunting with hypothetical situations.
