False.
Thats pretty much against the spirit of the game, and i have no belief that scum wont lie about their fear. We are 6 people, and we're playing mafia. Someone will definitely lie. I think we dont have a need for this either.

Heres what i see:
Random Canadian is confirmed town . Of course, not objectively, but i wont be voting this slot ever this game. He didnt get his fearkill claim ccd, so im taking that as fact. Knowing that, would scum!canadian kill his own partner?
I was still supporting kerset. Lost was mildly supporting him. And since we didnt die tonight, i assume scum was relying on using us some more next day. In that case, killing kerset accomplishes the exact opposite, since now we can focus on other avenues.
Even ignoring all of that, would canadian kill their partner for some cred? I highly doubt that. Like i said, i would probably still support kerset even if i listened to aristos arguments, and they could at least get a fear claim from someone else so macro wise its a misplay. And losing one member matters in a game where you're slinging shit at a wall trying to hit fears, they lose out on %50 of their kill potential since canadian targets his partner. So, in addition to what i've read from canadian so far, im finding it hard to believe that kerset and him are partnered.
Umlaut is a close second. 496 isnt made by scum. Nor 228. I'd have to jump through a lot of logical hoops to believe kerset is partnered with umlaut.

Before going further into analysis, is there anyone here who thinks i can be scum? Because im conftowning myself by design here, and my plan only works with me as town.
So we narrowed the lynch pool down to 3 people. How do we proceed?
Between gamma emerald, aristo and lost im putting my chips on lost.
In the case that im wrong, we can either roll the dice and autowin if we're lucky, or play normally.
So in the rolling the dice method, we lynch lost and target aristo. This is an autowin scenario if the fear is alive, but more importantly if the scum dont get a kill with their own fear. If they do, and aristo isnt scum, and the fear is alive, and they kill someone else besides aristo and fear someone else then they win. For me, the chance is quite small for everything working out so this is the one route i want to go.
Playing normally is lynching lost today and abstaining from fearing anyone. At best, scum gets two kills and we're down to normal lylo. At worst, scum kill one and leave us in a 4way. Since the scum can so easily choose not to fear in this scenario this is one i want to avoid.
Also, should we claim our roles now?Its nearing endgame and i think that may be beneficial.

I don't really think you
are
scum but I have to admit I don't consider you cleared the way I consider Gamma and Canadian cleared.

When you say massclaim do you mean roles only, or our fears as well? I'm more concerned about the latter since it likely gives scum an extra kill, and would prefer to only get fear claims from the two people we plan to yeet (I say these should be Lost and Aristo, but if town consensus is on another pair then so be it).

I mean only the roles, not the fear. I'm going to do something based on what a particular person claims as their role.

nope

there's a pretty good chance those that have already died are the fears of those alive, so that would probably leave 3 of us immune to a fearkill, and we wouldn't be able to cleanly kill off everyone

ehhh i typed out a plan but realized it was too messy and only gets us to lylo with 1 conftown and that doesn't really help

i'm down to claim, but i will say that i don't see any mechanically way to win this currently. probably the best bet is a mix of reads, poe, and fearkills to hopefully end it with night actions

I think claiming roles could be beneficial at this point. With the rolling the dice plan though, we can't count on fear targeting because the person holding our targets fear may no longer be alive. After we eliminate someone we would be down to 5, and I can't fear kill anymore because my target is out which leaves it resting on 4.

So what we know right now is this knowledge:

PlayerRoleFear
SiriusGlobal WarmingGreat Wall of China
KersetOther People's Expectations of MeContact with a Cluster of Larvae
PookyDying AloneLosing My Mind
RCContact with a Cluster of Larvae?
Umlaut??
Ari??
Lost??
Gamma??
Dong??


Knowing that the roles of the 3 gone already don't overlap each others' fears, it lets us know that there are 3 alive still that can't be fear killed, which is significant if we are trying to plan fear kills overnight.

Lol how about I state my read despite probably being another day or two to make a real case.
In post 488, Lost wrote:i will now pull a read out of my ass in hopes that this game once again comes alive

it's gamma/kerset
Gamma/Kerset is not something I believe. The tensions between the two did not look fake and I townread Gamma heavily off of those interactions yesterday.

Kerset/Dong makes huge sense to me though.
Are you gonna be consistently active this day phase?

since 2 people already said no I think I can vocalize my thoughts
with 3 people being unable to fearkill, such a plan would require scum cooperation as we don't have enough eliminations to do it without it.
So my response is TRUE but I don't see it as viable at this point

Oh, and FALSE
I think in certain scenarios a draw can be okay, or a shared victory actually when it's multiball for example.

But I am meh on draws overall. And in this case it is impossible.
