I'm like 50% sure this is the current vote tally
I haven't been posting because after reading 24 hours (read as: 50 pages) I lose all incentive to post.
Something I will say though, pretty sure that basing reads off past mafias is highly discouraged, and has been for 10 or so mafias. And it kind of makes me sad to see how much is being based off "He acts like this when he is scum as seen in mafia 52" or some shit like that.
Either way, rob is the most volatile person to me. If I had to read him it would be null, but only because he is either hard town or hard mafia. And in some world I would probably look back on the past 100 pages to see which one I would think it is, but holy crap stop posting for like 24 hours so that people have a chance to catch up.
Please don't ask me for list reads, because that would mean I need to go back on 1200 posts to find who I think is scum, without briefing past most of the posts.
dd looks town
Rob looks volatile
Kuro looks mafia
UTA looks town
ian and Lun going against popular opinion seems kind of shifty, but that can also be a town read when looking from a blank canvas (which is what I am doing because of the aforementioned reasons)
Lun seems to be voting to protect coffee from what I can gather, and if coffee flips scum it looks terrible for her. I suppose I can use that as my voting reasoning. If we kill him we get information, and optimistically a scum. Killing a mafia N1 put us in a great position, to the extent where we can expend a vote to gather information. NOT saying that that is why I am voting on him, nor am I condoning killing a town read unless we are 100% certain it will lead to a scum dying. Instead, I am saying that if he flips scum, then Lun looks scum and we could potentially get 2 scum in 2 days.
Or it could make Lun look town, because no scum in their right mind would protect another scum like this.
That's just how mafia is. Anything can be anything else depending on how you look at it.
Basically if coffee is scum Lun is either town or scum (or intel).
I highly doubt that Hitman is scum. Scum with a point and click ability like that is too valuable. Even if suspicion is thrown on them the previous day, they would instead kill someone else as it brings LyLo (Lynch or Lose) earlier.
So here is a proposition: Hitman is Intel. Whether Intel has found each other or not is irrelevant to this. Linkcat used Officer 2 on them, and revealed that they were intel, using that ability before he thought he might die.. Scared, this intel thought to kill Linkcat, protecting themselves so that they don't get killed by being outed. Especially because if a second intel died, it would put the intel faction at an incredibly high risk of losing. Thus, they killed Link. And would have done so whether he was town read by them or not.
I'm not entirely certain if this will clash with Link's read on dd, however if it doesn't, I would say dd is an Observer. As Link uses Officer 1 on dd, shows him as Observer, and deduces with probability that dd is town due to how unlikely it is for 2 Observers to both be mafia. This also explains why dd was soft-confirmed town (or whatever wording was actually used) rather than hard confirmed.
Or I could be finding connections where there aren't
Or I could be repeating information that is already somewhere in this thread
Or dd could be the intel
Who knows
Other than KuroOr dd
If my above theory is correct, and dd is Observer, then it would be nice if he told us who he targeted. Because of the whole Unnamed Action scenario going on. Afaik, 2 are in play. One on Sol and one on JCJ.
Sol said this which is inaccurate:
...since Politician has no such ability like that, and it would be a second Observer and first Politician. And also doesn't take into consideration a second Hitman or Doctor.
I will agree that Rescue should be taken as an ambiguous name, because of how obvious it would be if it were from a Doctor, although I wouldn't completely exclude it from thought processes.
I will await for dd's potential response before making a conclusion on that.
Spoiler for Irrelevant Stuff:
If, for whatever reason, dd does not wish to announce whether he is Observer or not I will provide him with a phrase to copy-paste, so that him not revealing his role does not get the wording analysed by anyone (if he wishes)
I do not wish to give information on my role at this point in time.
Very basic, but gets the job done
