I don't think it's a huge revelation it's just a point of assumptions and ratios.

Hiip has really only come out to drop data to defend you, TOML. And he's done very little of that.

yeah his posting record doesn't even go to one full page

you'd almost be justified voting for him purely for lurking tendencies

i do feel like there are a shitload of pro-town powers this game. like, even assuming that a couple of people who are claiming town powers are lying scum, there's still a shitload of pro-town powers on the table, even just on the basis of the flips we've seen

there's the ##ASK THE SPIRITS thing, the ##OBEY THE RULES thing, Gaspy's frankly insane cop/watcher/tracker hybrid, gwyn's Truthbullet thing which could have been really useful but was wasted on Anidav (only for Gwyn to "find out" several days later that he's got more bullets), your asserted guard, my protection...

like, what do we know by comparison? that there's probably a scum busdriver. anidav's scum power was frankly pretty lovely, being a single shot night time protective thing. it would make sense for scum to have another big gun up their sleeves; godfather would kind of make sense.

probably would be more powerful than "pick a turn. you are protected for that turn and that turn only" which is what anidav had if i understood his role correctly

but yeah i take your point, it still wouldn't be anywhere near as powerful as what town seems to have on the table this game, which, as I've said, is why I think Anidav got a reprieve from his frankly well deserved modkill

speaking of ratios:

bif-lynchers: Birdstrike, Freudian Slip, Hiipfire, Bowmore

bif-no-lynchers: Gwyn, TOML, Kat

we have all been assuming that there were 3 scum. okay, let's stay with that.

if there's a godfather, then we cannot make the assumption that one of Gwyn/Toml/Kat is scum. it's entirely possible that two of Birdstrike/Freudian/Hiipfire/Bowmore are scum.

So if there's a godfather and 3 scum, the chances of hitting a scum in the Bif Lynch group are either 1/4 or 2/4, and the chances of hitting a scum in the Bif No Lynch group are either 1/3 or 0/3.

If there's no godfather and 3 scum, the chances of hitting a scum int he Bif Lynch group are 1/4 and the chances of hitting a scum in the Bif No Lynch group are 1/3

Except for the part where it was clarified that godfathers aren't protected when it comes to Bowmore's ability.

No TOML that's what I was trying to say when you got all excited when I said that

Sensor shows any and all scum including Godfathers, there is only 1 total scum-faction member on the BifLynch
Gaspy investigated Hiip which means we have presumed him to be town, same as bowmore, but there is always the nagging doubt in the Enigma machine brain that he could have been a Godfather. It's not a huge concern, it's not a huge revelation.

But Bowmore was the one to clarify that godfathers weren't protected. It would be a fantastic scum play as we would stop looking at his group after the other scum was lynched/killed.

As for the truth bullet. Who do we think is doing the killing?

If I was scum, I wouldn't be using one of those people on the non-Bif lynch since they are the most likely to be investigated.

That is unless TOML is an even night ninja?

Gaspy saw him not leave his room on a Track,
Hiip saw him get a successful night PM
TOML said he went to Bowmore

I think Ninja suits the character, or some sort of shapeshifting Fashion trick to appear as her twin sister.

Someone at the time tried to suggest he had an ability where he stayed in his room, but TOML himself said he went to Bowmore. I think that was part of the bus speculation. Still I can't believe we didn't make a bigger deal of that inconsistency at the time.

I have been thinking about the TOML situation.

Gaspy said he tracked TOML and TOML went no where, more specifically that his target didn't target anyone.

Hiipfire said that TOML had a successful night action.

We have assumed that these two bits of info contradict each other - but what about the possibilty of TOML having a night ability that doesn't target people?

A few people have already shown powers which only affected themselves.

This would mean TOML is lying.

Is it too crazy a theory?

This theory we said wasn't too crazy, because we all forgot that TOML himself said he targetted bowmore, also I forgot that the conclusion was still "TOML is lying".

Later that night is when I had the epiphany about people, notably Anidav the yellow bellied, trying to steer off TOML and remembered that Ninjas exist.

I suggested that he may have an ability that he can use that doesn't target people. It would mean he was lying and probably scum if that was the case. Either that or there is another ability to mess with people's powers floating about.

I didn't say that if he visited Kat then he is town. I said that if he is town then it should say that he visited Kat.

The only role I can think of that a scum would use on Kat at this point is role blocking and Kat says that her action was successful.
