So we have PPVV, leaving scum with TT: Rolecop, 2-Shot Ninja, Strongman.
I think we probably have to assume WW's Bodyguard claim is true. The setup does not allow for two Bodyguards, so he actually culd have been counterclaimed. And his confusion over how it works in conjunction with other stuff seems genuine. So yeah, I accept the claim.
I tentatively agree. The only thing that makes me wonder is if mafia has 1-shot Ninja instead of 2-shot ninja (TTT). Joseph's role and mcmc's role combine to make VVP. And mafia could have known that all town roles had been revealed already and WW could safely fake claim.
Although I guess that gets thrown under the water as soon as either the Goon or 1-shot Ninja flip. So, yeah, I agree more now that I wrote this out.
I think this is always setup where scum can't know number of PRs to full accuracy: two different numbers of T roles give rise to the same observed scum powers. I also claimed first (after UB), so I don't think there's any conceivable way where I could have fake claimed fully safely.
What I meant was that if the scum team was the following:
Rolecop, 1-shot Ninja, Goon (as mafia wouldn't know anything ascetic) then one of the two would have to be possible: TTTT or TTT. With Joseph's role and mcmc's role that is VVP. So the TTTT option isn't possible. Mafia would then know that the setup must be TTT.
If you knew that, you could have conceivably felt ok claiming Bodyguard, because you would know that there couldn't possibly be any further town PR roles out there. There isn't a risk of any counter claiming. The only risk is if a mafia was lynched that was 1-shot Ninja or Goon. As that would show that the role couldn't be TT, and must have at least been TTT. So, yes, that is still a risk. But you would have at least been safe for today.
So, I am not 100% convinced, but more confident than I initially was.
