¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yup, which is why I have asked Mala to explain the thought process of 'town' at the end of day 1.. to not being able to 'sort' him in a re-read N1 to submitting an attempted Vig N1 after failing to sort him in a re-read after thinking SK town.
also I'd like to reiterate that "x-shot vig, failed every night" is one of the easiest throwaway claims for scum and not an auto-town claim like a lot of people generally think. not saying this makes her scum, although I do think she's scum for other claim-related reasons (namely it not fitting with her reads and scum conveniently RB'ing her N1 despite it making no sense)

also, if you're a town roleblocker and blocked Mala, claim. tia
Acknowledging this and the fact that I'd comply if I was in that situation. If everyone does the same, we can rule out any town RB scenarios or confirm that mala was in fact blocked by town.
I'll also confirm that I didn't protect Sleepykrew last night and am confident that I in no way contributed to stopping Mala's claimed kill on Sleepykrew.
Preview edit: the hostility is unwarranted. I asked you to walk me through your thought process, but I guess you decided not to read that, ironically enough. Basically, it was a question, not an assumption.
OK so at this point, everyone alive has either claimed VT or posted without claiming the block on Mala. so it wasn't a town RB who would have blocked her here. (and fair warning, I will PL the fuck out of anyone who attempts to claim RB sometime later down the road as opposed to claiming it now - claiming it now is the theoretically correct play)
Pie, that is a disappointing course of action. It seems to me that outing a power role if it exists D2 seems like a bad idea when it is not necessary that we do so. It would neither confirm nor deny Mala's guilt, while her vigging would.
Especially strongarming a PR to claim, I don't see the point of that. I don't think everyone is of the opinion the town RB should claim, so everyone acknowledging your post doesn't preclude a town RB from being in the game.

the problem is, the entire assumption that her role is confirmable relies on it actually being town who blocked her here. if she's town and scum RB'ed her, then we're essentially stuck because they will almost certainly chain RB her every night after this, at which point we have no way of confirming it either way.
I'm pretty sure town RB claiming is the theoretically correct play here. we'd wind up with {whoever it is + Mala} as likely town if it's the case.
