So, here’s the thing that I kept thinking about last night while I was getting ready for bed… if Scola is actually a role blocker, then he’s our very best bet for winning because he’s our only offense. Ideally, I think I’d prefer we exile one of his partners in case he’s not scum. If he is, it will be easy enough for us to exile him tomorrow.
I get that we still MUST find scum today, but I sure do like the idea that he might be able to block a NK
This is exactly why scum!scola claims roleblocker.
And this is exactly when his partner points it out.
This doesn't make sense to me - again if I were scum, I would just sit back in the last claim position, instead of making this risky claim. Why would I create a 1v1? Sure town!fang is powerful as a cop, but being last to claim, I know there'd be no way to protect him tonight and we could just NK him. And his results so far have been useless (I'd say conveniently useless).
And if fang and I were both scum?? Why not just claim roleblocker and say I blocked him N2 instead?
Since I know I'm town, I now know for sure the scum team is fang, EFHW, and joth (thanks for helping figure that out faust).
I think scum saw faust's loyalty to fang and figured they could all vote for me in the hopes of convincing one other town member to make the final vote.
Go back and read how the votes happened, and built up. First fang who could "safely" vote for me, because of the 1v1. Seeing as he was losing the 1v1, switches over to Didds.
EFHW votes for me with bad logic:
scola is clearly scum, since he's been sitting on fang's wagon and there hasn't been a hammer.
vote: scola
Two of faust, joth, Didds, fang are scum. I prefer to start rather than join a wagon.
At the same time breadcrumbing to her scummayes with that last line to join her.
And they do:
fang ready and willing to join back in:
Cool.
vote: scola
And then joth, very causually:
well I guess
vote: scolapasta
Go back and read some of joth's earlier posts with, what I now know for sure, is fake outrage. And now just "I guess".
Casual, subtle, and yet all they need is one town vote from faust, Didds, or Dylan (and they almost got it already from Didds)
