If I knew right now who the SK is, I would lynch them without a second thought. Even if it is in their interests to work with town for now, they're still more likely to shoot town than scum. We're looking at potentially 3 deaths per day/night cycle, and could lose real quick.

More reads soonish, I hope.
possible scum here

I'm not sure why HF reacted so strongly to this. It was my intro/RVS vote, and I didn't push it hard. Admittedly, my vote stayed on him a long while, but that was because I wasn't in the game much.

Cop switch was the most valuable scum role. Consequently Almost50 is probably town or sk.

There's no reason to town/sk read Maxous' vote and Chip's 1-time-70%-scum read on Bins.

Everyone who townread Math and Almost but didn't participate in pressuring Bins are likelier to be scum.

You realize they said was.
Not even Vig switch doesnt mean much unless the vig is 100% sure I wouldn't have them take the shot and hit scum because it can end the game.

We're at 8 right now
Lynch today if we don't hit scum - 6
SK kills a VT - 5
Vig Shoots someone (Other then mafia) - 4
Mafia Shoots - 3

There's the game. I know the odds are skewed against it.

Probably yeah. So the SK killed Lalendra. The kill could be random but I'd assume the SK would kill based on who they felt most threatened by.
I don't like these two quotes. First, mutant appears to be sure the SK shot the Cop (means the SK in immune to Mafia shots and not Town action). Then he realizes his slip and corrects it in the second quote stating the SK shot Lalendra which directly contradicts his first "assumption".

My theory is mutant is either the SK (who knows whom he shot) or Mafia (who not only know whom they shot, but also know they didn't shoot Mathdino).

And I'm left with the question of WHY would Mafia take the risk of letting the Cop live another day? It must be because his top SRs are NOT group Scum (I'm using the term "group Scum" to avoid the silly confusion of putting "not" next to "mafia") :lol:

So, Mathdino initially called a
Bins
/
Raya
/Fitz
Mafia team. He later added Chip might be Town and to lynch Maxous today ( which was his last will.

If all above is true, then fitz and Max are not likely to be Mafia. One of them could still be the SK.

I could go on theorizing all possible scenarios on "who shot whom", but the shot at Lalendra doesn't make sense from anyone, except if the shooter wanted to make sure they AVOID the TPRs, or if they somehow suspected Lalendra was the Town Vig.

So, to reiterate: Lalendra was obv!Town and Mathdino was the claimed Cop = Raya was definitely shot by the Vig. SK would want to shoot Mafia (that wouldn't be Lalendra by any measure) or the Cop, so Mathdino was shot by the SK most likely. Mafia shot Lalendra to try and give the Cop a chance to catch the SK, knowing they were not likely to be his investigation target, and all this points to mutant being Mafia who scum slipped and tried to correct his slip.

P.S. I'm also willing to join he Chip Wagon. It could very well be Chip+mutant for the Scum team, and fitz or Max for the SK.

More theory talk: if we nail the SK the Vig will definitely be shut down, so only one death at night.

We are 5-2-1 now. Assuming we lynch the SK = 5-2 and tomorrow we are 4-2 (traditional MyLo).

If we lynch Mafia today though it would be 5-1-1 and it's anyone guess how many town deaths at night. Scum could cross kill, or could hit town. the Vig may shoot scum, Town or not at all. This is confusing but it has the benefit of the Vig having a chance to do something at night, plus the chance of scum cross killing each other.
Everyone's opinion/feedback is welcome.

Heres the one problem with that. If they cross kill how would you know who the SK is then. We would be at a loss then if the vig dies as well because SK takes NK Immunity. We all know Dino was a gambit that almost paid off.

If the SK has Mafia NK immunity we still benefit from them shooting Mafia (and assuming we lynch Mafia today that's the Mafia team eliminated). Furthermore, our Vig is hopefully alive and can claim tomorrow (since they will be shut down by the SK the next night) and become a confirmed Townie and we can work from there.

I mean there's nothing carved in stone, and there's every chance the Mafia/SK will mess up their switch combination tonight and it could still be the case that the SK shoot the Mafia, the Vig shoots the SK and the game is over anyway.

They EITHER got Cop AND Vig immunity, OR they got MAFIA NK immunity. I'm leaning towards the latter as according to my theory the SK shot the Cop, and they absolutely would not have needed to if they were immune to town action.

But what I really needed feedback on was the slip itself. Do you see it as I do? (i.e. a scum slip from someone who knows who they shot?)

Since the Mafia didn't know whether the SK was NK or cop/vig immune, they must've felt compelled to shoot the cop. A clever SK, regardless of chosen immunity, would've known this, and would've felt free to dispose of threats.

Raya was actively contributing to the game, and flipped scum had voted her, so a clever SK would've anticipated that Raya would not have been in today's lynching pool.

Who benefits the most from Raya's death?
