Voth You're wasting your time on Kthx today. Focus elsewhere. Rodney and the entire MIA crew are worth looking at far more right now. Your argument is based around Kthx lying about being a Firefighter, but it doesn't work. Even if Kthx is scum, he could still be a Firefighter. Theres no reason scum couldn't have one, since a Mafia Firefighter in a game where the SK is an Arsonist is just a glorified Mafia Doctor.
The only real point you have to your argument that works right now is Kthx possibly made a scum slip with his 'town could have multiple factions' claim. As already said previously, unless a townie comes out of the woodwork to claim a different faction than Realm-Aligned, then I dont understand how any townie would randomly assume there are multiple town factions. Scum might, because their role doesn't say Realm-Aligned, but why would a townie think that?
I'd also argue one more point against Kthx, which is his weird 'Missa must be the Godfather, because I protected her from the SK' and then the subsequent 'Nevermind, Missa isnt scum at all, because I protected her from the SK' statements. They are nonsensical and look like either a very bad scum overeach trying to get a townie lynched, or a scum buddy trying to distance themselves from their partner. The quick backtrack after you called him out, and Missa being all 'Oh thank you wonderful townie Kthx for saving me and also for saying I'm town!' thing both look disingenuous enough that it looks like scum theater to me.
That all said, Kthx is the wrong lynch today, and I'll stand by that regardless of what he flips later. I dont have him as confirmed town by any means, but there are far too many unknowns in this game to start lynching the first player to full claim, one that coincidentally fits the lack of an extra NK from the SK. That would be dumb as hell and bad play. Maybe Kthx isnt a Firefighter and Fis actually targetted the Godfather and/or didnt submit a kill, and Kthx is taking advantage of it. That's what I did last game when WillBy died, and it worked, so it's not impossible he would do that, but it's improbable considering Kthx was the first and only person in this game to full claim. He didnt claim something that obscure either, because Arsonists by default (not assuming modifications we dont know about) can only be stopped by a Firefighter, not a Doctor. If you were scum, would you gamble the entire game on being the first person in the game to claim, using Firefighter as your fakeclaim when it's very likely town would actually have a real one? That's like claiming Doctor or Cop on Day 2 as scum, before anyone else has role claimed and you cannot reasonable figure out whether your fake claim is safe or not. It just doesn't make any logical sense. I'd not do that as scum. The only way I see scum doing that is if they are flathead idiots that didnt think it through before they made the claim. Kthx may be an inbred hillbilly with severe fetal alcohol syndrome, but he has a workable brain.
The real people we should be focusing on are those who are MIA all game, yet have a history of NOT being MIA in mafia games. Rodney is that person right now. Yes, he was active last game as scum, but he had me and Paul to go back and forth with in the thread, plus Halp was constantly affirming his innocence every other post. It gave him a safe environment to post freely and not give a shit. He didnt have to worry that town would catch him scum slip, because had any of then actually done so, one of me or Paul would've found a way to change focus onto someone else. Rodney likely doesn't have that right now, which leaves me to believe his teammates are useless and inactive, perhaps someone like Erias or Jerome. There's 100% at least one scum from the list of inactives who threw their vote away on random people Day 1, so that's a good place to lynch today IMO. Also, I sure as fuck dont want the endgame to be something like Erias, Jerome, and intertube left over, all doing nothing productive as scum win easily due to town having zero leadership. That scenario was why it was so easy for scum to win last game.
