I don’t think any townie would believe that Somnus flipping town gives us nothing to work with. Especially because Lucian is so eye-blindingly obvious town in this game. I don’t think anyone has not town read Lucian at this point?
A Somnus town flip would break the game wide open and this post seems like a fake fear designed to look pro-town. If my current theory about the game is correct then this also fits because I don’t think scum want to flip Somnus right now. If Somnus is town, flipping them puts extreme pressure on a mafia member who is otherwise exerting a lot of thread presence.
If I’m wrong and Somnus is scum, I would expect Somnus’ partner to be ready and willing to bus them. I would honestly probably clear Radja in this scenario.
All that being said, if Somnus is town, I think scum in the big hood always has to be ready to turn and believably bus their buddy due to the inevitability of the Somnus flip and the nature of the setup.
That’s why I find this hedging to be especially scummy if my scrrredbear!scum and Somnus!town theory is correct. Look at all the words Radja devotes to the possibility that BEAR might be scum. It reads partnery to me.
I am also unclear how Radja progressed from thinking eliminating in the small hood was good, to thinking eliminating in the big hood was more rewarding, to thinking eliminating in the small hood is actively bad.
Eliminating in the small hood is bad because it doesn't force mafia to kill in the big hood, which is what we want. I think multiple people have already said this too.
I came in thinking it would be better to eliminate from the small hood, because it gives better odds to hit mafia. I think I changed my opinion on that at around page 1. I don't see how this is hard for you.
I think solving the game is going to be easier if we make the big hood smaller, it gives better odds on both sides and there's a possibility on having 5 conftowns.
So no, I don't want to eliminate Somnus right now. If disagree that Somnus flipping town "breaks the game completely open", because I don't think it provides much information about anyone in the big hood.
