Let me try to explain the reasoning behind my vote. This game has nine players. I completely believe darquiel’s role claim, which leaves eight players that might be scum(I include myself here, as no one else has any reason to believe I am innocent). According to darquiel, there are four scum. This, as far as I can tell, gives us a fifty percent chance of catching scum if we lynch randomly. What are we waiting for? Do we hope one of the scum will reveal themselves?

That means that it will probably be hard to find scum based on their posts, since it would seem none of the scum know who the other scum are, and even if two of the scum know each other, that might be hard to spot in a game like this.
This seems to me to sum things up pretty well. With this many killing groups, we will have a hard time spotting standard scum tells. The scum are going to be just as uninformed as the rest of us.

It isn’t a lynch or lose. If the scum are in different groups, they will have to be get rid of the other scum groups before they can win. With three out of the four killing, I would assume we have at least three groups. BTW, has anyone ever heard of a mafia group that got more than one kill a night? Is that possible?
I suppose with three votes on me, I should role claim. I am Patrick AKA RolandoftheWhite. I am a townie with postrestrictions.
