guiltless is the default way for vigs to be
the high prevalence of guilt vigs on this site is actively weird
People here base their setups on ToL/ToS where you can’t WoTM gamethrowers out, so it’s no surprise.
mildly interesting fact #1: data from MafiaScum suggests that, at least there, vig shots hit town at a higher rate than if the vig were literally RNGing the shot
mildly interesting fact #2: despite this being the case, adding a vig to a set-up nevertheless increases town winrates
in general adding a vig gives some additional number of town-controlled kills, and if the vig kills wolfy players it’s generally pro-town even when those players are villagers as it means that it’s not necessary to waste a lynch

My reads weren’t different from the reads I would make in a fol/sfol
The biggest difference in my playstyle was that I knew I can’t solve my slot by mechanics or logs, so I tried to do a lot of reads and interactions with players
I’m confused about this
isn’t guilt what discourages players from doing dumb hero shots?
No, because then it’d be dumb to shoot anything but an outed wolf, which doesn’t happen often outside of mech-heavy games.

Fair. In low-power games there should be no guilt
vice versa, in high-power games there should be absolutely guilt
the negative consequence of dumb hero shots is that you’ve killed an obvious villager and made the game that much harder to solve
Not really. As long as it’s large-ish setup and the wolves can deal with the vig such as a wolf doc or roleblocker then it’s fine to be guiltless. Better way to limit it is to make it x-shot, tho.
