I wouldn't say it's wasted insomuch as there was never going to be a good chance to use it

It's not any more designed to eat scum powers than any other french vanilla + role, no? Anyone with a fairly weak role could bait scum at any time like that because it really doesn't matter if they die. Problem is it could be just as likely that i would bait town protection (like lea, perhaps) to visit me instead. and her role was high prio so i might well have learned her name before any scum powers who came.

After Day 2 I wanted to take the only possible opportunity I was ever going to get anything useful out of it. Literally nobody else has visited me the entire game! And from prior experience I have it on pretty good authority that nobody else probably ever will!

I meant "wasted it" as in, you could use it on a night that no one visits you, and then your one-shot is gone and you never get to find out a name.

I don't really subscribe to the defeatist attitude that your ability would never serve a purpose. Up until today i'd say you were still sitting squarely in town for most of the game, certainly for me (but now everyone is up for grabs), with your joyrock voting day 1. You are still alive and didn't claim till day 4 so there was still plenty of opportunity for you to eat some type of scan from scum and be able to catch them.

I would call your role more than french vanilla.
