I want to re-read ash first.
Alright. First off, I think it's pretty safe to assume at this point that mafia took 3 powers. Ash straight-up said it, and there's no way we have three/four fakeclaims. Ash also did the "derpity derp my exact scum role" thing in Grimm mafia. So we'd have 5 PRs (
IC,
Tracker, bodyguard, roleblocker, Goon Cop). Just based on that, I find all our claimed PRs very believable.
Upon a re-read of ash, this is how everyone looks:
Voltaire - me!
Walrus - the biggest thing, obviously, is that he counter-claimed ash. If they're teammates, this can only be a gambit for cred. We were looking likely to lynch Jimmmmm prior to this, which would have resulted in ash's lynch the day after, but scum gets in another night kill. I simply do not see this pairing one bit. Scenarios which include Walrus as an unrecruited traitor make no sense. I think Walrus has to be a virtual IC. Also, Walrus was one of ash's (many) big pushes D1. Oh, and then the D2 stuff. I don't see it at all.
Robz - called scum by ash at a safe point where Robz wouldn't be lynched. Not much interaction here.
Jimmmmm - Several arguments with ash throughout the game. Could be a scum/scum staged fight (anything involving ash is possible) but it would need to be ongoing throughout the entire game and involve daychat. That's possible. Hmmm. But with Jimmmmm being the one to live , that seems to make it less likely. I also don't remember liking Jimmmmm as a crazy plans guy. Also, a town narrative for him yesterday does make sense. If one of our PRs is scum it's Jimmmmm but I think that's unlikely.
manda - Entirely possible. ash's comments about not hedging could be cleverly-hidden advice to his scum partner in plan sight (but that's likely unnecessary if they have daychat).
Teproc - there's almost nothing here. All I saw was ash calling an interaction between me and Teproc town v town. Can definitely see a pairing here.
2.7 - virtually impossible, see elsewhere. Also, e was one of the wagons ash hopped onto. He really, really pushed an e case.
mcmc - ash called him scum at a time when he wasn't the focus of conversation and there was no threat of a wagon. Could entirely see a partnership here. This also doesn't look good:
I think you've been swooping in at times, (which I admit can just be IRL) to ensure you add content when needed. That's what I think of as acti-lurking. It isn't necessarily scummy. I did want to see how folks reacted to those labels.
and the "mcmc is trying" from D1 was something I also noticed.
based on a re-read of ash,
vote: mcmc. My other candidates for today right now are Robz, manda, and Teproc. I'll want to look at them (and the wagons/final votes) of the days more as well.
PPE - I had to go to lunch.
