Okay, now caught up, and this is where I'm at concerning claims.
The full Roleblocker flip that we had makes it more likely that we have two Bombs, if Roleblockers work the way scola claims they do (and I don't really see what scola would hope to gain by lying about this). This together with the fact that scum killed a VT and not one of the PRs seems to indicate to me that there are 2 scum among {Didds, scola, Jimmmmm}.
On the other hand, I still think it seems very odd that scum would just accept a potential IC!Bomb and not try to counterclaim. That point still stands so I remain suspicious of EFHW, but it's no longer at the level it was yesterday.
Jimmmmm's Watcher target seems convoluted. But I don't really see the advantage this as a scum claim. The straightforward path for him is just to say "I watched the NK and saw [whoever they want to set up]". Claiming to have Watched Didds doesn't achieve anything for them. So that's somewhat tonwie.
scola lied. This is not great but certainly consistent with his play so far. Would he lie as scum? Well there's two lines of reasoning here:
1. the extra bit in the claim was planned to be revealed a lie during the Night because they hoped for towncred. scola certainly made the argument that "I'm taking too many risks to be scum" before, and that plays into that.
2. He didn't see a good way to fake a target that was consistent with the other claims.
Either is possible and so scola's behaviour is a bit of a wash.
Didds is scummy. Her claimed target is inconsistent with the way she claimed to have played before, is based on very questionable reasoning ("Jimmmmm is scum because he was asleep when we consolidated"), and is just the line scum would take here, setting up the 1v1.
So purely on claims I would argue that Didds is scum and then a partner is most likely one of scola/EFHW with slight preference to scola. But I'll have to do some rereading to see whether that works out with the way they played.
