Mala- Play makes sense from demotivated Lyncher hoping town will throw her a bone. Further, if we have a Mal flip we know to lynch the shit out of that ASAP.
EJ- Play makes sense from a survivor. IF we are far enough ahead (5 town alive) when the game is at it's end that we can justify going for it and EJ/Mala are the only antitown remaining, I suggest we lynch Buj/Other Potential Mal to let Mala off the hook. EJ is inherently untrustworthy at this point, but the Ascetic claim doesn't strike me as likely to come from a non Ascetic JK. Hider is a good explanation for the missing Thor result last night. At best, slot is a distraction, at worst, slot is a danger, but dealing with other dangers comes first. Reevaluate if RK flips red.
Flicker- Flicker has been a flavor clear for a long time. Book is the only character for whom Priest makes sense. If another book flips, I'll reevaluate, but not before.
Chick- 80% chance of River. 10% chance of Inara. 10% chance of scum. If River and Inara both flip, lynch this immediately. Until then, Conftown.
Me/Gamma- Zoe/Wash. The flavor fits too strongly and the only other possibility is River/Simon.
Buj: Probably Mal via Chickadee. If Mal flips, lynch immediately.
Tails- Via flavor result, either HoB, Operative or Simon. Evidence towards HoB: Strange crumb early days. Evidence towards Simon: Claim and Videos. Evidence towards Operative: Videos. Possibly (Probably?) solved by massclaim.
Toog- Inara? Frequently used as a distraction by the crew, becomes less and less untouchable as the game goes on, mirroring the show. Use of power: crazy town. Lynch immediately before the Mala/EJ conclusion if necessary, but LR use on D1 buys a ton of goodwill. Further LR use will likely kill and confirm as town anyway.
Chara: Softed Role
CT: Softed Role
RR: Softed Role
RK: Enabler of high utility town power. Probably solved by massclaim? Strange claim flavorwise. Strange claim anything wise.
That's all 13 players. We're still missing a Kaylee, but Either Tails is Simon or one of Chara/CT/RR/RK is.
Pros to Massclaim:
Scum has to choose their 1v1's now. Potentially we just win the game. Well defined flavor slots.
Potentially prevents mislynching Tails if no one else claims a role that fits Simon. If someone else cc's Tails, we can judge and move on from there.
Cons to Massclaim:
Potential outing of potential Doc- Unlikely.
Potential outing of potential Vig- Untroubling.
Potential to get our most powerful role killed. Possible, assuming I understand the subtext the way I think I do, but honestly worth the shot.
Presumably, we're at 8v1v1v{some subset of 3}. We have the majority of the 8, or at least, I'm confident that we have the majority of the 8. Two slots are likely solved/nearly solved by a massclaim and we presumably have enough mislynches remaining to muscle that through. It's in the best interest of the two 3p claims to support this as well as it both drops the likelihood they'll be killed and means that they might live long enough to be offered the mutual win.
