OK, an interesting hypothesis just came to me. Something just doesn't feel right.
If Raptor is town, why wouldn't he just hammer? Seems very strange that they wouldn't be aware of the deadline.
As scum, seems like a very bad move too. Because while no lynch is good for scum, lynching town is always better (no?). So why not lynch Joseph if Joseph is town? So then Joseph is scum partner.
But now both Joseph and Raptor make good lynch targets, so why not just stay quiet and hope for a no lynch happening anyway (as no one else came in at the deadline to hammer).
So doesn't seem like a good move for town or scum. It doesn't add up.
Unless...
Raptor and DatSwan are both scum. They plan on getting DatSwan to convince us to lynch Joseph first, with the argument:
Just to spell it out. Raptor is only skummy if Joseph is skum. So Joseph first, or at thre bare damn minimum Joseph before raptor.
We lynch Joseph, he comes out as town, and now we've been convinced that raptor is town because of it.
Thoughts?
I mean i know your not asking me - but the obvious flaws would be
A) my logic isn’t far fetched, it follows. Yours is an outside guess.
B) if me and raptor are skum (and Joseph town) Joseph would not be alive rn.
C) You have either on purpose, or accidentally created another skum triangle similar to the play out Joseph did day 1.
1) I am saying Raptor is only being skum read bc no hammer on Joseph. Do you disagree that if Joseph flopped skum you would not be suspicious of him. And flipped, if Joseph flipped green would you not be less suspicious?
2) I made a case, a pretty damn good one, on day 1 about Joseph. So don’t try to spin it off like i am stringing shit together last minute. I wanted Joseph yesterday, and all the actions of the day make me want it even more today.
3) i never made a case on raptor. The case i see on raptor has to do with a fairly straight forward tie to Joseph’s flip..
From my pov i thought Joseph was skum yesterday. I did not feel as so much for raptor. Joseph’s flip could be better in all ways for helping to determine raptors alliance. If we flip raptor, regardless of what they flip. I am still going to think Joseph is skummy.
Essentially - town could maybe make a mistake and forget to come back and hammer an unk player, but skum NEVERRRR makes the mistake the same to hammer non-skum.
I’m just gonna stop there. Your idea is valid in the sense you are allowed your opinion, but it does not follow at all with how the game has played out.
