TM and Hal are the most likely options. sure we could draw this out and get culled over a few weeks but meh

#2: see #1

#3: yeah

I mean sure we could drag this out over 48-72 hours or we could see if this is Pelicana Drama and everything evaporates when the ringleaders are cut. (for reference PD ended when the ringleader of one faction and an arsonist were killed)

So is that why there was talk of a second scum team earlier? I guess that explains why multiball was even a discussion yesterday.

Because i suspect you get some sort of reward if Moritz dies and it does not mean that you would side with town.

Yeah I feel like there's a catch where if we vote out Moritz first the scumteam is gonna get something like a soup kill activation and instead of converting to town they're just gonna kill 5 townies in a single night

I agree with flipping Monathin first

Also, gently caress I was wrong on salad

There's no catch. We're taking a leap of faith here.

I can at least confirm none of us in flavor think we'll get a reward for killing Moz, beyond, as Meen said, possibly being able to win.

Also flipping me is a total buzzkill given this is a total leap of faith gambit, lol.

I'm just trying to keep things interesting. I played as scum in Election and the King and got blown up for playing "typically", so I'm going wildcard route here and hoping enough town are willing to follow me on this digression.

Wait wait wait I just realized this doesn't add up numbers wise
There can't be a second full scum team because clord/Meen/salad/Mona + Moritz is already 5 scum
I'm pretty sure there can only be 6-7 antitown with the number of players we have

So doesnt that just mean it's a scumteam of 5 plus a serial killer or something?

It'd work if it's smaller - only 3 or 4 people, perhaps. Plus if it doesn't have an NK.

Imagine you're playing some sort of survival game and realize you're boned on an expedition. You're way too far away from your base to return before your supplies run out and there is no way to restock before you die. Do you spend 5 minutes trying to go back to your base anyway, or do you hit the button that lets you return to base immediately?

For that matter, imagine hitting this button causes you to explode in ludicrous gibs, whereas there's a drawn-out cutscene of you slowly dying while walking in your future if you don't. Isn't hitting the button more entertaining? Isn't entertainment why you play games?

Like honestly this is not what I'd ever do normally, but taking this road is vastly funnier than the alternative, and it'd be cool to have guessed right.

3 or 4 people means there's 8 or 9 antitown roles which is kind of crazy
I guess if you're telling the truth that you can conditionally convert to townsiding maybe it adds up, but I can't be arsed to do the math for that

This. It's a total gamble, and I doubt my flavor will confirm 100% what's going on. But if I'm going down either way, I'd like to go down at least seeing if I'm totally deluded or not.

- 3 Revolutionaries: town-aligned survivors. Win IF AND ONLY IF the Singer is alive at the end of the game AND the town has won.
--- 1 Singer: targets players in the game at night, empowering them with abilities. The players are told they are recruited into a town-cult with the Singer as their incommunicable leader (OOT chat for all "recruits"). Singer does not know any of this, just thinks she's an empowerer.
--- 1 Guitarist: Human Shield(Night) for the Singer; is the actual target of all night actions on the Singer. Can target players at night, giving them one-shot roleblocks to use at their leisure.
--- 1 Dancer: Human Shield(Day) for the Singer. Same as Guitarist, but for day actions. Can target players at night and give them one-shot protections.
