Are you sure you aren't responding to my lynch vote rather than mayor vote?

Um... yes, I'm sure

Not that the distinction is crucial but why do you say SK rather than scum?

A single scum that needs to kill all other factions is a serial kilelr. I've never heard of a 1 person mafia, and a cult or a 2 person mafia in a game this size makes no sense. We're dealing with a lone killer. There may be a single survivor, who could potentially win with the SK, but we can't be looking at more than 1 scum here, so they're a serial killer.

suspicious.

My role specifically mentions scum being the opposing force.

So Magicziggy is claiming to have info that can help us find fake RCs and scum being the opposing force. Do you mean that you know that the anti-town here is a mafia rather than a serial killer? The only way there could be more than 1 scum is if we have some powerful town. Your info might be useful and make role claims (or character claims as you all call them) useful. Perhaps we should claim roles? Though I'm only for it if we can get 4 people to agree to it (that is, unless you know that there are multiple scum, in which case we have to do it.)

I mean the wording of the win condition mentions scum. I know zigmen tailors individual win conditions.

Had to read your post carefully to distinguish between character claims and role claims. I get it now.

Not interested in any claim today. We need a full day of information, a lynch and a night kill. Tomorrow we can claim.

Okey dokey, what's make you think the mayor vote is "non sensical"?

Fair enough.

There may be a single survivor, who could potentially win with the SK, but we can't be looking at more than 1 scum here, so they're a serial killer.

In fact, I'm getting indie vibes from MZ. Does that "click"?

In a five player game - you are proposing that player, presumably unknown to you, with no posting history, be given a casting vote.
That is non-sensical - for one who is normally so analytical.

I'll remind you to update your vibe database at the end of the game

I have a few of theories as to how a two scum team may be feasible.

It most certainly does click - particularly since the VT role pm makes no mention of either 'scum' or an 'opposing force.'
But if If one were a lone killer in a game of this size, one would naturally view Town as an 'opposing force'.

The capricious day's end times are interesting, Zigmen.

I will check back later to vote, before the minimum 24 hours is up.

What are indie vibes? I can hardly remember the only time I was indie it was so long ago and in a completely different context.

Obviously if my town win condition mentions the need to beat scum (yes it's the one which has me scratching my head), then scum has been mentioned and they are the opposing force.

I've had this exact same town win condition before from zigmen. He writes them all slightly differently.

I'm happy with my vote on linus.

I can't believe in a five player game people wifoming about an indie.

If you know my normal game, you know that I have mayor-voted for players unknown to me in the past.

I don't have a strong knowledge of your game Linus. I'll take you at your word. But in THIS game, it makes no sense, unless you would consider changing it. Is changing your mayor vote part of your normal game?

Yeah, also I have trouble reconciling his posts so far. E.g. quite open to possibility of this being endgame but also certain that a claims can wait until tomorrow.
