Do you think ghug/kgray could be both scum?
If not, which is your preference and why?

Hunting for the Oracle is particularly pointless as it's self-confirming and works even if it dies. Hunting for the JOAT before night 3 is understandable, but from night 3 onward the JOAT has done whatever it's going to do, and is likely to claim as TheFlyingJOAT did to ensure its info isn't lost, so there's not a lot of point to hunting for it by then.snowy801 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 11:42 pmworcej thought bona was cop and I figured he might be JOAT so I think there is reason to believe they're PR hunting.
Maybe lfischl was killed because they thought he was oracle and wanted Jasnah to flip? I'm not entirely sure what the motive would be there I'll think about it

lfischl's kill superficially looks like PR hunting, but the only unclaimed PRs remaining when they'd have made the call are not PRs you would actually go hunting for. So again, setting my idea aside, they weren't PR hunting.

Having taken much smaller risks as scum with bozo before, he'd have to have been pretty strongly overridden. I also thank you for not including me.

There is -at least- 1 person in a very specific sub-set of this playerlist on the scumteam, yes.
I wont embarass myself trying to narrow it down who would and would not make that cut in my mind, but it points towards a certain playstyle that gave this quite a lot of thought.
But this is just stacking assumption on top of assumption, and really doesnt result in any actually usefull deductions.

I do agree that if they're not PR hunting they're trying to set up the appearance of such, which may be an attempt to frame Chaqa (who else is touchable in that lineup) which is unfortunate if true

If all the PR's are real, this type of approach is likely also the only way to a win for scum.
Shoot any people that could somewhat be seen as a potential PR. Create distrust. Make sure not all corpses can be dug up and we just grow more paranoid over time. Never kill the PR's and we'll turn on them eventually.

If (2) is a factor then that points to the existing deaths being inconsequential. Probably means jasnah is VT, damo is VT, bozo is non-Godfather mafia.
As for (3), maybe, but it's kind of odd that they'd shoot lfischl, because while a few people picked up that he might be a PR, Cop wasn't on anyone's radar to my knowledge.

Sure. If I'm fakeclaiming a role with night actions, I want my actions to be a) plausible, b) unfalsifiable, and c) not give town any information when I'm eventually caught. You scanned a townclear, you oracled damo, who in my opinion was obviously not the cop, and you docsaved someone right as you were claiming, which is easy to not get wrong if you know who the NK target is. They're all plausible (though I haven't actually checked who the scan is yet), but it's also what a scum claim would look like.TheFlyingBoat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 10:49 pmCare to expound, mon frere?

I also think he's the type who would play up the misdirection strategy scum seems to be employing.
I'm not so sure kgray or rivera would go for it.
Maybe snowy, but I haven't seem his scumgame. His imposter game is usually pretty strong, though.

I think you're vastly underestimating how many people incorrectly believed damo was cop in this thread, including some town clears.ghug wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 12:07 amSure.

That said, I see no scum motivation whatsoever for scum to claim when you did. Really I'm more just grumpy that your scan was unfortunate, your oracle was dumb, and you claimed (and probably used your actions) prematurely.

Ok. So I just sent to the GT my analysis of how the end game will look. I was too excited before. We have 5 miskills left before KiLo (if I mathed correctly). We should think hard about who we want with us then.

I don't think lfischl had any real shot at being the Cop based on his behavior, so if they were cophunting killing him is still weird. I thought he was Oracle based off a few early posts about how the role worked that showed some uncharacteristically high interest in it. But if he were Cop and Chaqa were mafia then I feel strongly that he'd have come out and said it. He was a straight shooter with his suspects all the way.ghug wrote: ↑Fri Oct 01, 2021 12:11 amI'm confused why you think the kills are weird if you're convinced Chaqa's scum.
