I LOVE WORDS. THAT'S ALL.
I could be persuaded to vote Scum MQ, too. I can see him utilizing tutor and mediator as a cover. And because I do appreciate when he chimes in to clarify and am nervous about losing that resource, it is an effective strategy to get a new player to keep you around.

I am currently rereading the entire game real fast and come up with my thoughts.

It’s weird that the person that was the cop flavor wouldn’t be the cop, but maybe there are more cops in Harry and the Hendersons?

Can you think of a reason why a living cop would want to deny being a cop, hal

Well yeah of course but it’s just weird to hint at it so strongly then later imply that it isn’t your role as if scum wouldn’t just assume it at that point, but I guess people are going to do weird poo poo.

Since I know I’m town it leads me to believe Sig is probably scum, possibly hum too

I think I’m still going to vote Sig or maybe MQ today, not super interested in anything else

I guess there is a world where there are only two scum left but that seems very unbalanced

I guess...I could see George as a more important character being assigned the cop role. Not that it makes a huge amount of difference to figure that out. Unless someone wants to claim George??

Imbalanced for or against scum?

I'm really not sure setup-wise and wouldn't mind an experienced view. With limited investigative abilities and an abundance of vanilla, I could see it being argued either way, I guess.

Against scum. Usually I would expect 4 scum or 3 and some sort of 3p (survivor or SK)

Self-aligned roles. SK can kill every night and wants to be the last person left. Survivor wants to live to the end of the game and can win with either town or scum (and sometimes with SK)

Yeah a survivor just has to be alive, and would be incentivized to work with scum in this situation (since they want the game to end asap)

Serial Killer is not in this game since we’ve never seen an additional kill (or they are highly unlucky)

curiousCat (5): Haschel Cedricson, wologar, CubicalSucrose, fool of sound, Sighence, CubicalSucrose, Tired Moritz

Here's the votes from the two biggest trains yesterday. Special attention to Cubical Sucrose and Wologar for being on both trains, Sucrose being on FoS, me, and then back on FoS.

I don't like Haschel trying to switch the vote onto me at all -- when there's a claimed PGO the town is always, ALWAYS going to have to vote for them at some point, so there's no point in putting it off to another day. But It's fine here, it gives us another train to analyze if we want. I'm just going to focus down on something else though -- Tired Moritz.

10 "will be gone at deadline" ok

Disagree. Phuzz is a very clever person and great at tracking info and discrepancies. She also knows how to use the "Hi, I'm new in town" persona to her advantage re: her Survivor run. If she thought she could leverage another day or so by not explicitly claiming and leaning into "Aww, shucks, what's a soft claim?" I bet she would have

Yeah I'm rapidly discovering most of these "newbies" aren't actually new

Also if she wasn't a cop then no matter what it was a guess. It could be an educated guess, sure, but splitting hairs on this is not conducive and mostly a waste of time so why exactly are we doing this

Maybe, because it seems odd that it's being questioned when no other investigative role has appeared?
