I want you to think about what it means if we have four guaranteed Town In a group of five. And most of us have a few very strong reeds of town outside of those five. I know it's a 22-player game but the available space for scum is shrinking rapidly and just okay isn't good enough.
Ok so there is little room for scum to hide.

but also it looks like brian skies is pretty afk. its possible for an easy push that way so im a bit wary.

more than brian skies, i am concerned about dunnstral, esp if actiondan winds up being the scum in the hood. dunnstral is easily more active and i can see some reasons here, though i understand the associations im building makes me biased.

Well, I cannot speak for everyone but it is my impression that the actual votes today will be within the hood and everyone is just examining their reads outside of it for now. I'm certainly not on board to wagon anybody at this point in time.

a plus point to actiondan is his read matches his last ones here.

a minus point is how has it not changed at all after omgusing me? and a bit of time passing? well i guess cuz he hasnt read fully only skim.

Just fire, and to answer him it is unnecessary.

I am not the arbiter of why scum would claim Miller after ascetic, only that it does not fit the setup as I see it.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

Okay. There are 21 marbles in a jar. We take out like ten of them. There are then four evil marbles and six good marbles. Yeah?


So like, if some of those ten marbles have done town things. Then those other null marbles are looking pretty damn red.
