You mean other than the reason I gave in the post you quoted? I’ve had a solid town read on MMT all game so I saw an opportunity to make sure Town got the power.

Hint: It's because he's scum with MMT.

I actually thought MMT was sounding pretty townie and then I went and looked at the posts and saw what I saw about the votes. And while I do realize that scum don't always throw a light bus at their teammates, it's certainly known to happen and it certainly does feel like it could be one.

So do you think that the Bif/BK fight was actually a scum/scum fight?

And then they both publicly backed off each other so obviously?

I've had a similar gut feeling about bif's posts all game (well, the whole time I was catching up at least), it's not like her posts are explicitly scummy, but they seem like bif doing a bif impersonation, which seems like a confusing thing for town to do

Before asiina had dead-posted about a bird (kinda confirming that it was her I guess? Is that allowed?) I was worried it might've been a scum announcement ability, like in Prey maf. Though in that game it was used for much more hilarious and less productive purposes

I'm the only person I know isn't scum. I'm trying to narrow it down, but man, everyone in this game is scummy as poo poo.

I'm coming around on the idea that BK is actually scum and if he is then I think MMT/Gaspy are scum with him. It's also possible that IS is scum too and MMT went for a double bus, but that seems a bit risky.

With a 16 player game, I'm expecting to most likely see 4 non town, either as a 4 person scum team or 3 scum + 1 SK/Survivor, but it could possibly be 5 non town as a big 5 person scum team or 4 scum + 1 SK/Survivor. Although given that we only had 1 NK to start D2, I'm thinking there's probably just a single scum team and maybe a survivor out there.

yeah as i said it was a joke, but yes this game is not super clear cut and i dont know if it's because of other games currently on or we just started off so chill we're all very relaxed. what i just pointed out about bif is the strongest thing i've felt all day and it's not a lot tbh

I mean I guess we could been in a scum/SK game and the scum team got unlucky and their kill got blocked while an SK BK killed Asiina since she was the most vocal that BK was scum.

That could let Bif be scum and the Bif/BK fight was scum/SK fighting and the rest of us just didn't know it.

okay, we've probably allocated a few brain cells to that idea since the flip, but it's never gonna be a real possibility that we can prove. he was always gonna get lynched. waxing lyrical about that prior to the lynch is more eyebrow raising than just steaming ahead blindly to the lynch imo.

I think that's overcomplicating things a bit

at least at this point in the game (only one kill per night, and only D2), a SK is indistinguishable from town imo, no use trying to find a role that may not exist

Given that BK is 100% going to flip scum I don’t like this being slipped in here. How would I be scum if BK is?

From your posting today good odds you’re the 3P, I noticed from your inflections that you’re posting in a vacuum but I think that’s not the town tell I thought it was.
