I thought some of that list was cleared when it appeared that Laundry didn't know the color. When I found out that he did there wasn't much point to the list.
I initially thought that if the person first answered correctly that they would be confirmed town, but later thinking not since it could have been from a safe claim. If laundry flipped scum it would have confirmed them.
Imagine this scenario. Laundry is scum. Adum is scum. They have safeclaims. You put out a "game breaking strategy" and Adum answers because he has the safe claim. They then put two and two together and figure out they can ride it all the way to end game because Adum's cleared so they bus Swiss/Laundry.
Replace yourself with Adum. Works just as well.
Let's say your scum and you know scum have safe claims. You do it and simply hope that some townie either gets confused, it catches an indy, or someone with a moral reason not to do that (like Swiss or myself) refuses to answer you. You then get a free mislynch and a wasted day with something you can follow without taking any stances at all.
Even in a broken game scenario where you KNOW scum don't have the claim, you can only get one clear because that one has to communicate it and it can be picked up on as soon as the post is made.
It's a **** move in any case. It's unfair to scum to take advantage of a mod error. It's unfair to the mod to play against the spirit of the game. Once his set-up gets out, he can't really run it again to the same effect with corrections made to prevent it being broken through meta due to the queue system.
tl;dr
Following such a plan that was full of holes and maybes was and remains a dumb idea and a **** move.
