Eclipse has started putting a focus on me ever since then. He randomly voted me several times, gave a very weak list of reads, overall obviously struggled. He coasted along. I was mafia with him just a game ago, in Converging Realities. His behavior absolutely matches what I’ve seen there. He seemed disturbed by Foxes’ reveal of there being a female scum role, he dedicated a, for his standards, fairly informative post towards trying to shift the scumhunting towards male names.
Numbertwo did nothing. He wasn’t replaced, he hasn’t contributed anything new. Naturally that would lead me to the conclusion he’s not opposed to staying in the situation the town is in at this moment. Either way, he also did not do anything to keep up the momentum of the game. I’d be strongly against pushes against this slot before something else gets revealed.
Damus did claim a name. The name he claimed also is one Wiisp has posted before. I do not know how much flavor Wiisp knows about his “best friend”, but his reaction seems like what Damus claimed matches what Wiisp expected. That puts Damus in a better spot regarding the mechanical read. Apart from that I find his play poor. He shouldn’t have claimed bodyguard, he shouldn’t have claimed busdriven as simply as he did. I feel like he wasted a ton of potential at that time, he could’ve easily used his info as lure for other scum.
Srceenplay’s action itself was incredibly shady. His roleclaim is professor. His ability is to create a permanent chat with a player, in case he dies that ability gets given to the play he invited to the chat. Of all people he chose AIVION, who spammed a lot, derailed the thread, claimed neutral. He has given a strong town power to a town-derailing neutral. I only see scum-motivation for that, as this would effectively let him communicate with an extra member for his team.
Bahkieh already slipped a lot of information yesterday. He was the one who revealed that Robert Cook is professor, he was also the one who revealed that Daniel Sampson is a cop. He also did so after Wiisp and Srceenplay claimed their names. Today he kept up with his playstyle of yesterday. Obviously he wants everyone to think that Wiisp is cop and Srceenplay is professor. It would make sense if his name wasn’t what he claimed, and he revealed his info to prevent Wiisp from thinking that the mafia has knowledge about him that the town doesn’t have. I believe he simply has a scum rolecard that says the names of the cops who are onto them. This would also align well with the starting flavor post of the mayor getting shot after finding out about the mafia’s identities.
Distorted is confirmed scum imo. He has been exposed, he failed on his roleclaim he used to defend himself. He realized that. His behavior drastically changed. All those signs are part of his scum-meta. He always acts like this when he screws up. None of what he did today also aided the town in any way. A town Distorted would try to solve the game. The scum Distorted we’ve seen this game did pretty much every possible thing he could have done to prevent that. I believe it’s fully clear already that Distorted is the lynch anyway.
As such 4 of those 6 players remain scumreads.
