Hai. Or do you think I'm doing this? I'm not; I'm just keeping the issue live because we've got a strong indication that being an adult is correlated with anti-town (while we have one dead pro-town adult and one dead anti-town adult, both mafia groups appear to be all or mostly adults).Skruffs wrote: I do agree about mneme, and i think people who are ignoring the other 22 players in thegame to focus on the two players who have both been investigatd at least once AND have (apparently) pro-town actions (bb notes) are being arrogant and obnoxious.
Re BM -- avoiding a potential breaking strategy that matches the existing unusual evidence just because it's on-the-face-of-it unlikely appears to be very bad play. Obvously, we have to avoid epicycles and other false tests, but if we have someone scummy (ckillor) who is also sitting in a position where if positon is correlated with scumminess, he's likely to be scum (ckillor), it's worth taking that chance.
I'm guessing, btw, that the seating order is deliberate, with order based on in-school social groups seating in the lunch room. So the gossiping masons sit together, the foreign students at least partially sit together (I think. Aside from YT, I'm not sure who else is an exchange student), and it's likely that the kitchen staff are all in the same general area and the administration/teachers also sit together. For mafia groups that are mostly out of one social stratum, this may help us identify likely members, but it's likely that -some- of the scum have non-obvious seating. It's one piece of evidence, rather like role information, but it's entirely possible to balance it reasonably. And, of course, this is merely a guess, or perhaps a hypothesis.
Re Skruffs vs BM: yes, I agree with you, Skruffs-san, that there's a higher chance that he's scum than that you are. You're both unreliably been pronounced innocent, but he's actively acted scummy, and I don't really trust the innocent investigation on him. OTOH, if seating order is a useful clue, he -is- sitting next to you.
That said, I'm interested in speculation on scruffs/BM only in guidance for night actions/future days. They're clearly not good lynches for today.
ckillor, say something worthwhile or I'll throw some more food at you.
Oh, and we really shouldn't forget to list the soup-killing lynch mob yesterday. I haven't had time to track it down, sorry.
