I think Ichi is very, very likely town for reasons that SP has already stated.
I don't think IG is necessarily town, I just think he is definitely a lover (and that there are no other lovers in the game, if there were they would have counterclaimed by now). I think there is the possibility that IG is a mafia lover or alien lover, so I don't think his claim is indicative of alignment. I think I actually lean scum on him right now.
Another possibility I just thought of: IG could be scum partners with a lover who knows (and has informed him) that there are no other lovers. Not sure exactly why that would have been the fakeclaim for him and not his scum partner (who actually is the lover), even less sure why we would care if that were the case. Just putting that thought out there.
I know Archetype hasn't had a chance to read over everything yet. I think he could very well be scum, but I think we should give him a chance to chime in more.
Yeah, I mean it's frustrating because this is how I feel too, on the one hand it doesn't seem fair to lynch someone who joined the game late and hasn't caught up yet, but OTOH the deadline is coming up and it doesn't seem right to just give him a pass. If we wanted to start a wagon on him we would have to do it soon, like, probably before he has finished catching up.
I have been thinking more about Axxle and I hate being wrong, but yeah, this isn't how he plays as scum. I guess he felt different to me and I want to associate different with scum, but considering that I mostly associate Axxle with scum (he was scum in Adventure Time and Philosophers which is like, 90% of what I can remember of playing mafia with him), if anything different should mean town.
Does anyone else feel like ADK has this magical power of never getting any attention? I feel like he says stuff that's non-controversial, but not non-controversial enough that people point out that he only says non-controversial stuff, and then disappears, and no one ever talks about him; obviously this is what scum wants. He might be a good lynch candidate today, planning to focus on him when I finish my re-read Sunday.
