I'm vacillating like a madman here but after reading infin and the OP a few times, unless infin is jerking us around and misreading the results dongs is actually claiming to be a scum godfather.

If infin finds a list of bosses that is "trying to take over the outfit" then one of them MUST be a scum godfather. Gonna withhold my vote and let others weigh in, but if we're wrong on this dongs is gonna get doctored every night and we're gonna kick ourselves for being duped.

ill just clarify whats going on again b/c hey why not lets put every1 on the same page

there are x # of players who are bosses in this game. i believe there can be town-aligned bosses, scum-aligned bosses, and itd be weird, but maybe even a 3p boss.

every night, bosses can submit a list to podima. if anyone on that list is also a boss, we receive a positive result.

we have another command at night that i'll keep on the dl atm.

*rereading my pm, if all the other bosses die, the last remaining boss gets rewarded. i hope theres another outfit-aligned boss around who does not claim cuz i suspect if theres a scum boss theyre just gonna take out me and then infi so they could activate their boss.

i originally thought every boss death makes all the bosses incrementally stronger but i dont think bosses change until all the other bosses die (and hence one boss is crowned)

Or we lynch neither of them because dongs is saying that the last boss alive gets a reward. So it's probably a better idea to try to keep them both alive for the time being.

They both claimed boss but you'd need to explain why you think we need to lynch one of them today.

I was thinking this. If infin is a scum boss, he gets 4 town lynches out of his reveal. That's a huge step ahead for the scum team.

Do you really think that is how it would play out?

Don't you think we'd expect Inf to try to 'clear' at least 2 of the players on his list during N1 if he lived through the night?

adahn is either trying to do his disingenous scum technique (meta recall: in gbs trumpgame, he was, uh, really bad at scum, to be generous) or hes just being his regular dumb-rear end town technique why dont we just lynch him and find out

He prolly just wanted the other boss dead tho. If its like dongs said, its not indicative of alignment.

You can't "clear" a godfather, which is what I believe he suggested. Without dongs coming out and explaining his role, we'd lunch all four before realizing there wasn't a scum GF in the bunch.

Basically says a bunch of rival families are trying to muscle their way into Capone's turf now that he's been locked up.

The way it's worded is that I return results on Bosses only. So I can likely only find the Godfather of the scum team, and if there are any 3P Bosses like a Masonry.

Read this. He was trying to mislead us, knowing that the only way to prove him wrong was for another boss to out themselves. The only boss that would risk that would be a town boss, because the other scum boss would be fine with a pile of townies being lynched.

I did not advocate a turbo. I sarcastically said that turbos are a good idea. If I had actually been pro-turbo, I would have voted.

I dont like this, not just because it's naively assuming nothing will change for the next 4 days but also because it is a huge extension from "throwing shade", like flerp said, to "getting 4 town lynches".

So, given that that's not a real benefit, I don't really understand where the scum motivation would be in revealing the boss mechanic.

Dude I don't have your role PM just infin's misleading post and the OP. I think he's a scum boss who thought he found another scum boss. He's thinking, "Hey, I'll kill townies, another boss, get some cred, and coast to LYLO." The problem is he found you and royally screwed himself.
