But is it that much of a deterrent either?
That depends on who is actually on the scum team.
I would expect Ice for example to take some big risks if scum. He has done it before and come out smelling like a rose.
DD, who is on the list, would most likely play a bit more conservatively and not gamble as much.
It appears that whoever is on the team they are shrewd. The only reason we got one is because Rich came out with his RC.
