If there is a survivor, you should claim now and you can win with scum.
If there is a second traitor, you should have claimed a long time ago.
If there is a reporter, we can help you win by helping you lynch and kill neighbors. That is basicallythe only way you win at this point is by cooperating with scum. If we no lynch today, we will kill a town neighbor. Then help us lynch the scum neighbor, then we will kill the other town neighbor. There are no other PRs. If we do this plan, you win and scum wins.
If you want me to lay out the plan better, I can.
I added the second bolding there. I missed this before. gkrieg is saying there is scum in the neighborhood?
"there are no other prs" means they chose scum neighbor, town randomly got neighbor as their pr, and scum didn't chose traitor knows mafia. It's true, we haven't seen any other town prs, but it's hard for me to imagine passing that up. Maybe they didn't trust the unknown traitor not to give them away? They also gave up daychat, which is both useful and makes the game more fun.
I agree with your reasoning, but in a different sense. If GK knew how many roles were out there, the remaining possibilities are -
1) They picked Mafia in Hood only - This is the idea he is putting forth to the Reporter. There is one Hood to start, then Mafia gets added, from that pick the only other role that is added is Town Hood. No PRs. Just Mafia in Hood and Town in Hood.
2) They did not pick Mafia in Hood, but they picked something - He took a shot, probably knowing he was going down. In the process of doing so he also laid the crumb to make us suspect there is Mafia in Hood. It would of played out like "Reporter claims, GK+Reporter vote Town Player, other skum follow". Safe, and possible... as we were all suspicious of a Mafia in the Hood with 3 there anyways.
3) They did not pick Mafia in Hood, or anything else - Makes no sense. Why would he out himself? Even if it was Survivor in play, there could only be a max of 2 Hood players if they did not pick something. So a 0% chance of there being a Reporter.
I have one more idea I need to read back on first, but it makes me think we are pretty certainly at 1 Traitor and 1 Skum in Hood.
