Arrowverse Mafia - DP2

cum have the power to kill people who annoy them. Had he been scum, he would have killed Lunatic at night, then passed it off as mafia trying to frame him.

Further, were I in the scum team what would my reborn tactic be?

Consider how easily I could twist information gained as a watcher

 I guess it's possible, but I don't see drafter leaving because he wasn't getting his way as scum. Then again, I didn't see him leaving, period.

That leaves me, you, drafter/ragnar, chris, and oro for this DP

He had a profile picture of a particular character. I'm highly skeptical of your guess that that was meant to hint at being a bomb. 

OK so I VTL'd SirA for character claim 13 hours ago and he went with OMGUS.

We were told in OP that there is no theme split so nobody should have much problem with revealing character, particularly when were down to picking 2 scum out of a 3 person pile with one DP left.

Bette is a bomb defusal expert who is transformed into a human bomb who spontaneously combusts anyone she touches.  Better is essentially a one episode villain.

The picture leads us to exactly one character claim and that character is incredibly on the nose for the role of BOMB while also having so little history that any other ROLE claim seems unlikely.

The connection is pretty straightforward.  You say its only a guess but I can't think of alternative explanations.  What are your alternative explanations?

I am still scum reading Skittlez

 I don't think that's a reason to townread him, though. Drafter is definitely smart enough to do that as scum.

@oromagi

Do you still scum read the lovers for surviving?

Were I scum, I would have had someone to catch me up on what Drafter was up to; especially him implying a role claim.

I never did.  Both claim that Speed PM gave "you are both TOWN."  So half/half wasn't ever really an option.  They are both TOWN or BOTH SCUM.  The idea that the game could end with a single lucky lynch DP1 never seemed very likely so I read them as both TOWN but I wanted to give SCUM a reason to keep them alive.

I know why Sir and Mister are withholding their character claims but I don't know why you are.

I offered Chris yesterday that if he want my role he could organize a 4of 7 vote.  If I thought SCUM had offered me a ROLE claim I would have tried hard to put those 4 votes together but Chris was not interested because he is SCUM and is uncertain how that might play.  Since I have claimed a non-visiting role, SCUM has all the information they want  only a  TOWN would still be left wondering whether my claim was legit and wanting to challenge.

I am 60-70% SCUM team is SA and Chris.  I am open to changing my mind in light of new information but both keep clutching their identities close- which tells me that their characters are also very closely connected to their roles.

I would still very much like to hear your character claim. 

sure but to what utility.  It definitely attracts attention but if you don't want investigation you are better off claiming PGO.  A bomb claim dissuades NK but no other act, therefore much more likely TOWN.

I mean revealing that now doesn't stop them from being killed ya know np2 lol.

If they were going to be killed regardless, wouldn't it have been best for that to have happened np1 instead of the watcher? Your motives make no sense.

essentially, we have two claims so far, MILLER and two LOVERs.  Of these, I find MILLER more likely than LOVERs. 

It seems like we have somebody claims MILLER DP1 fairly frequently in recent games.  The fact that skit is following form only demonstrates that he's probably been paying more attention to games than he lets on.

The LOVERS claim is rarer and more suspicious. 

• LOVERS can be TOWN, SCUM, or mixed.  As drafter cautions, balance analysis mid-game is fraught  but I still note that In a nine person role madness game, two TOWN lovers represent a vulnerable, unpowered quarter or even third.  Two SCUM LOVERS seems even less likely- one lucky lynch on DP1 and the game might be over.  
  
• But a TOWN/SCUM mix might make sense and certainly adds to the madness. 
  
• But Supa explicitly says that his PM exonerates both him and Intel as TOWN.  MafiaWiki suggests such disclosures are normal play.
  
• But why then would Supa FOS Intel in #105, 106.  IF Supa is TOWN and knows for sure that Intel is town, he might defend him or he might stay quiet but why on earth would he be putting distance between them?  Supa says, "major red flag" "slight scum read" and then an hour later he's saying he's my LOVER.  A good TOWN player who wanted to preserve Intel might say "don't ask me why but I can vouch for Intel"  or reveal nothing and argue Intel is TOWN but what possible advantage to TOWN could sus'ing Intel offer?
  
• perhaps because some LOVERS can have a TP wincon and Supa was thinking like SCUM?
  

Obviously, we don't have a lot of data yet and lynching an un-cc'd LOVER in DP1 would be mad but of the three claims so far I find Supa's least likely to be true.  If the LOVERS survive NP1, I'm going to have a hard time reading them as TOWN.

I just barely got on for one. For two, no one once asked me for a character claim lol. I am batgirl.
