I'll admit that, availability issues nonwithstanding, I'm having a hard time engaging with this game because I'm so certain of my read on Voltaire, and to me it looks like a number of other players are letting him drive the discussion. So I suppose I would start with, non-Voltaire players, how likely do you think it is that Voltaire is scum? Are you willing to bet the game on him being town? Because it might come to that.
For his partner: Witherweaver seems like the most likely candidate. Unless they're pulling some kind of crazy bussing scheme, it's not shraeye. Faust is a real possibility, though. Volt has set up the whole "it's between ADK shraeye and faust thing," but it looks like he's being careful to keep Faust as the lowest-priority lynch candidate. There might be something there.
Entertaining the possibility of a world where Voltaire is town...
I don't know. That would have to mean, shraeye/faust? Or shraeye/WW or faust/WW. I don't believe Nik is scum, I really see him as newbie town rather than coached newbie scum, especially since we've proven pretty consistently on this forum that newbie slips draw so much suspicion.
I need a reread, I think.
