> [@Glasnost Mafia](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/glasnost-mafia/571757/1242): > > What we have: > 6 confirmables > 7 unknown > > Case 1: scum all claim vanilla. 6 confirmed 7 unknown. we lynch unknown, vig kills unknown, scum kill confirmed (worst case Cop). > 5 confirmed 5 unknown - we lynch unknown, doc protects Vig, vig kills unknown, scum kill doc > 4 confirmed 3 unknown - we lynch unknown, vig dies > 3 confirmed 2 unknown > 2 confirmed 1 unknown - we lynch unknown and Town Wins. I think the full claim going on now just about seals the game. Mental Guy needs one more investigation to shift the numbers completely towards a Town win, which means the Doc should be willing to be sacrificed as Night Kill. 6 confirmed to 5 unknown (or better 5 confirmed and a scum). If MentalGuy dies during next Night, 5 confirmed to 3 unknown. If Vig dies during next Night, then 6 confirmed (from investigation) to 4 unknown. I can’t see a scum win in this situation. I think it’s game over time. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-soviet-russia-mafia-plays-you-forbidden-thread-for-glasnost-mafia-no-players/572259)._
