8 alive with suspected at most 2 scum.
Scum seem a little weak for there to be only 1 left, but then multi-ball is so random that there could very well only be one. I mean compare the situation we're in with the one where scum consistently hits town instead of scum...If scum weren't hitting scum (just straight converting kills to townies) we'd be at 5-3, which is practically lylo in multi-ball. So, I'm not convinced there must be 2 left, but it seems reasonable enough.
I'm for the mass claim. How do we want to handle it?
Do we want the cops to claim, along with any living targets, first, then if there's a counter-claim they can complete their claim? (This would avoid giving away cop-type based on who was investigated). Then we go from there to finish a claim?
Do we want to have everyone give a list of preferred claim-order, and work through the claims based on that?
Or
Do we want to have someone direct the claims? (I'm not sure I'm confident enough in anyone's townitude, except my own, at this point to have them direct the claims).
I mean the cop claims are about the only info we really get from a mass claim anyways right? Role not attached to alignment for everyone else and all that.
I think I like the idea that cops claim along with any living targets, and we work forward from there, including whether we even want to complete a full mass-claim from everyone.
I don't think we should lynch cops today. We should save the cop-lynches till later, if we lynch town scum will probably kill their respective cops...so if a Maquis is still alive we'll know whether the Maquis-cop is MU after the NKs. If no Maquis are still alive, then we can treat the Maquis-cop as a complete unknown alignment.
