Alright, so let's look at the scenarios:
Because...
DUM DUM DUM
Conspiracy theory:
The team is you/PPS. One of you has the ability to give out dice, the other has the ability to destroy dice. PPS's is obviously the fake one. He had to come up with a reason to almost never use it, so he found a way for it to be anti-town. Note in particular how quick PPS was to jump on BA's ability confirming his own, where really that is not possible.
You would expect to maybe have to prove the fake claim once, and in that case you two can coordinate to make it believable, since there really *IS* a role that gives dice. So come to tonight. I receive dice, allegedly from PPS. I'm also conveniently attacked by an Orc that messes with my rolls somehow, so I'm unable to confirm if I'm alternating between d8 rolls and d12 rolls. You claim to target BA, and I know he must be telling the truth when he say he received none. The only possibility is that the "die destroyer" random d6 exactly happened to match the d12 result for number of dice received. This I consider very unlikely. I would work out the probability, but it's moot as Archetype claimed to have lost dice.
So why claim you targeted BA instead of Faust? Well, you killed Faust, and you would know that claiming to give him dice would be super suspect. So choose one of the masons. There's already a "WW/BA scum plot" theory floating around, so if it falls back to "someone is lying" people may side against us. Why choose Archetype to get hit? Well, now you have a three-way lying circle: You, Archetype, BA. Anyone that can't convince themselves that BA and myself are scum may have an easier time convincing themselves that Archetype is.
Note in particular all the side comments of "oh, well, unless it really is WW/BA".
I like this is really, really plausible. A scumteam of liopoil/dice destroyer makes the most sense because of the mirrored actions. Liopoil is trying to push that it's a factional power, which I don't think it is. I think he's trying to cover up PPS's role. WW has a good point about how liopoil was trying to soft bus PPS the day before.
Second possible scenario. You actually did give dice to WW. Arch and Lio are partners, and dice destroying is factional. Lio knows you were telling the truth about your role, so decides to not give anyone else dice to set you up as the mislynch and claims to have given me dice. Arch then claims he was stolen from for WIFOM reasons.
Second to least likely scenario. Not barring the fact that I'm Town, but I really do not think dice destroying is factional.
third scenario: arch and pps are partners, I gave to BA and they got destroyed them. Or I was bus driven. Or roleblocked. Or whatever happened.
I can't even call this a scenario. This is too farfetched.
fourth scenario: ww and BA are partners, I gave to BA, he lied.
I am a bit more apprehensive about BA and WW after ashersky flipped Town. Ash also asked that we reconsider them when he flips. So, not as certain that WW/BA are Town, but I think the more likely scenario is that PPS/liopoil are scum. I'll be have no access for the next 3 days, and then from Monday to Friday the next week. I'll be sure to roll some dice and plop a vote down before I leave.
