Okay I am working something up but here are some odd thoughts.

Cube mentioned bounty hunters, which seemed like an odd thing to mention as according to his flip he wasn't one. I am sensing the potential of a BH wincon and possibly among scum. In fact it's possible that Meen was chosen as NK for this reason. He was pretty transparently Jekyll/Hyde, I'm thinking if I could get there a BH could too. So anyone looking for possible roles is a little suspect to me right now and we should probably not even breadcrumb our flavor here.

Of course it is also possible that any potential BH could be after players instead of flavor. Also possible that I'm going down the wrong trail entirelyl here.

But in that vein: This makes me a little sus on Spork, who has provided a whole list. Why? I have to ask.

Also, since I'm just typing words right now, I have to mention that from a literary standpoint Scarlett is NOT the villain. She is awful, to be sure, but she's more of an anti-hero.

Last night I was given an item. I also had an item stolen. And even though my action succeeded, I didn't get my results.

So I dove down a wiki hole trying to figure out what literary villain could have done/would have done something like that. And I came up blank, but I wasn't going to leave that whole rear end list just in a notepad when I'd put the work in.

Also Cube seems to be wary of BH's every game. I didn't read anything into it.

SporkChan posted:

If so, then most of our mafia games start with an extended 'joke phase' where most of what is said shouldn't be taken seriously.

I, personally, didn't believe CPig's initial claim, nor the claim that it was a trap and you fell for it. I suspect most of the other players didn't think much of it either.
To respond to a brutal murder with the lowering of one's guard and a celebration of mendacity is a disturbing custom indeed. It is no wonder that crime blossoms readily in a soil so riddled with rot.

No matter. Even if society designates a time to turn a collective blind eye to the signs of crime, I will maintain my vigil. Humor is not a valid defense in homicide cases.

The dead scum dabbled in paranatural necromancy, and the dead turncoat practiced alchemical shapeshifting. Meanwhile, the executed non-murderer was from a purely materialist political history work. Therefore, the greatest predictor we have so far is having a SFF/horror work for one's villainous origin.

SporkChan posted:

Other literature from that time period which have notable villains:

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, by Victor Hugo (Archdeacon Frollo) [1831]
The Three Musketeers, by Alexander Dumas (Richelieu, Rochefort, Milady) [1844]
The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexander Dumas (Mondego, Danglars, Villefort) [1846]
Moby Dick, by Herman Melville (The whale, Captain Ahab) [1851]
Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo (Javert, The Thenardiers) [1862]
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne (Captain Nemo) [1870]
-Other Jules Verne stories don't really have any villain, so this would be my most likely pick.
Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson (Long John Silver) [1883]
-Unlikely the mods would pick two books by the same author, but Silver/Mr. Hyde might have both inspired great ideas.
Sherlock Holmes Novels, by Arthur Conan Doyle (Moriarty, Irene Adler) [1887 - 1927]
Dracula, by Bram Stoker (Dracula, Renfield) [1897]

...and many more I haven't gotten around to including on my list.
With that in mind, I am looking out for a Dracula in our midst.

I mean, whoever stole my results hasn't claimed it and I believe most of the game has checked in at this point? So I'm operating under the assumption they are scum.

If I can figure out which villain they likely are I can look to see if anyone dropped any hints or soft claims. Or a rolecop could use the info to call someone scum if they find someone who's villain is a thief.

The Law does not make mistakes. From the lowliest functionary to the highest judge, it is a perfect and implacable algorithm that transcends the errors and fallibilities of sinful flesh.
