Yeah, I did consider this. The issue I have with this hypothesis is it doesn't explain why
Ether
submitted the kill during Night 1. If I consider the possible scenarios for possible three-person scum teams (excluding you and charter in each of the groups), I get the following: Ether/Xdaamno/Patrick, Ether/Xdaamno/GC, Ether/Patrick/GC.
In each case, there's at least one person who was under the radar enough or considered town enough during Day 1 to have submitted the kill without fear of being tracked or roleblocked during Night 1. So why would one of the possible scum teams mentioned above still allow their Mafia Roleblocker to submit the kill? It doesn't really make much sense unless we're dealing with a set-up that has only two scum in it and maybe an SK. In that case though, I'd somewhat expect an SK to be prepping for some kind of vig claim or something of the sort but the kills during Night 1 and Night 2 and our mass-claim today don't really lend much support to that idea either unless the SK decided to claim Vanilla (not unlikely but still).
So yeah, these are the main reasons I think we're dealing with a two scum team set-up instead of the "Red" in "Red Mafia" being thrown in as a red herring.

Mod:
prod Xdaamno, please?
That prod was unnecessary.
You were gone for three days without leaving any indication that you were on V/LA. It's a perfectly necessary prod to make.

Ha. I have quite a busy life, and I still make time to post at least once a day. What's your excuse?
I, too, would like to know where your suspicions lie, what your thoughts are about the set-up, and what your thoughts are about everything that's been discussed the past few pages.
