I literally laughed out loud, for a long time. Amazing.
I caught up, saw a lot of talk about mafia not killing at night and no lynches and what not. But let's just be real:
If what we thought to be true yesterday was true, there was no reason for mafia not to shoot last night. If Dylan was honest in his claim, nothing could stop the shot.
Regardless of any other thought process, less living townies is a positive for mafia. So, what are the possibilities we are working with today?
1. An unclaimed E, D, or B. This would mean Dylan is the remaining scum, having planned an epic D3 with raptor.
2. Mafia shooting themselves, saved by BP. MiX pointed out this option idea in thread.
3. Mafia forgot to shoot.
4. Mafia decided not to shoot.
I don't see any other possibilities.
Raptor's flip didn't change anything about the situation we knew about yesterday. (On a side note, you all need to stop taking away my hammer opportunities.) As I made the strong case against MiX yesterday, and that case did not hinge on his partner's identity, I of course still believe MiX is the remaining scum. With the new information we have from the night and so far today, that's only solidified itself further.
Note: If Dylan is actually the final scum, that's a D5 lynch at the earliest. What an incredibly play in general, and I will just say that the level of scum play since I returned has really increased (referencing HungerLL, of course).
In the case of #1 above, E or B should claim. E sets up a 1v1 with Dylan again, and B caught scum. D should remain hidden.
In the case of #2 above, MiX is scum, since who thinks of that? MiX does, and can't help but admit it in thread.
In the case of #3 above, highly unlikely, but I guess technically possible? I'm ignoring this for now.
In the case of #4 above, MiX is scum, since who thought that through completely? MiX did, and couldn't help but admit it in thread.
So in 2 of the 3 possible scenarios (again, ignoring forgetfulness), MiX is the leader.
Pushing no lynch is scummy. This isn't 4 alive with 1 scum, no lynching to get to 3-person LYLO. This is plenty of town alive to scumhunt, so why shut it down? Who's doing that ? MiX.
Scream confirmation bias all you want. Of course there's some of that. Because I am convinced I am right, and I can't just set that aside to find some reason to defend my extremely strong scumread. And the truth of the matter is, even if I were to somehow to be wrong, whatever. We have plenty of time and plenty of mislynches to spend.
But I'm not wrong. I will eat a hat if I'm wrong.
vote: MiX
