I agree that Andres last post was too genuinely town to leave him with much doubt. If they were scum with Koba then there would be zero reason to make that kind of statement. Remember that the remaining mafia wants us as much in the dark and guessing as possible.

Yeezy and Val would have to be extremely ballsy to be playing the way they did with fellow Mafia players on D1. Too much risk there and too obvious if Koba was voted out. Koba tried to play super aggressive scum hunting town so I'm almost positive that the other baddie is one of the less prominent players from d1. I'll reread tomorrow at some point with the knowledge that Koba is scum to see if anything share worthy catches my eye.

So if yeezyz or Val were scum, their play was too obvious if Koba was voted out. Koba was voted out. Does that mean they are both scum, too? I think I get what you wanted to say, but the words don't make sense.

I guess you are right about the less prominent players being a good go to point.

I was meaning that being so interactive with Koba as scum buddies would be a huge risk. I doubt they would draw so much attention to themselves. This is a newbie game so maybe I'm overthinking scum plays here because it could easily go either way. Something to keep in mind until someone is cleared by ability use. We're definitely not at the point to need reveals.

Val and Kenny are in my town reads while yeezy is nul. Looker and Fixer are at the bottom and I have no idea where to put T3 with his plays. I can maybe believe he was WKing Koba because he felt so strongly but its still odd. Personally, when I play a game with someone I know then I count them as scum until proven otherwise. Trust no one! :lol:

About that Roman transportation engineering: roads consisted of several layers whose purposes were to bear the weight of heavy carts, prevent water and mud from pooling, and provide a smooth top surface for ease of travel.

It's like if I say "Player X is scum" and then I die overnight. It can be interpreted multiple ways because Player X could kill me and say "I was framed; I wouldn't make that obvious kill, so it must have been someone else (Player Y)." Meanwhile, Player Y could kill me and say "Obviously, it was Player X - Looker called Player X scum and then Player X killed Looker." It's a way of trying to outguess the outguesser.

I just don't see why Val and Koba would go at it like they did if they were both scum. Koba went after Val aggressively and Val seemed genuinely frustrated rather then it being a mafia play. Yeezy was pocketed and shifted when Koba started getting more sketchy. The buddy buddy act would be too obvious to take out Yeezy when Koba flipped.. Unless he's just that good? WIFOM.

Fixer and Looker are at the bottom because Fixer could be just hanging around watching the show and Looker has very few original thoughts/opinions. It's mostly asking questions and quoting to participate.

I'm sticking with the thought that mafia is playing safe and trying not to scum hunt too hard because it will come across as grasping at BS.
