> [@Rysto](#): > > I prefer my version because it means that I didn’t get scum lynched through pure luck. 😉 See, this is where I disagree. I don’t see how it was pure luck? First of all, I had always maintained either (or both) **Texcat** and **Astral** were scum due to seeming to be saved from lynch by the fast moving **Dizzy** and **Pleo** trains… **and it turned out I was right.** Secondly, after **Texcat** posted what she did, I pretty much knew she had to be lying due to what MY clue said…hence why I said I didn’t believe her claim and said she was lying scum… **and it turned out I was right.** So what does luck have to do with any of that? I was right on TWO occasions about her being scum. That’s just me happening to be right…that wasn’t luck. I mean, come on, I don’t think I’m all that great as a player…but at least give me SOME credit. : P ---

Really, we should have known she was lying from the moment she posted her fake PM because she claimed 2 results and since actions are sent in before dusk, she’d have had to search dizzy’s body before dizzy’d had a chance to die. ---

**Pizza** , can I ask again, now that the dust has cleared slightly, what changed between day two and three that made you want to be scanned? ---

Clues: I still don’t think we will be able to solve the game even with a mass reveal, which would also no doubt have other downsides. But if there is a good reason to suspect that scum already know the information, or if you have some external confirmation that your clue is either true or false, I think revealing is probably the right move now. ---

I’m not pizza, but we lynched a godfather. If you believe no more roles that can fuck with alignments exist then an alignment detective can do pretty much just as much good by creating a pool of scanned townies as they can finding scum and it’s a lot easier too. ---

23 hours (since my post two posts up) and only ONE other reply since then? Geez. ---

I’ve been unexpectedly busy, but I hope my output on previous days allows you all to forgive me for it. I agree, everyone else is seemingly crazy quiet. ---

I have no objections. Might get some folks talking, if only to say their names. 🙂 I am Taryn Sharp. ---

Holly Lang. Note that some stated clues have used players’ character names so revealing who you are may inform someone else with more information about you then you may like. ---

That’s true; I’m just not sure at this point how much it matters. Astral and Inner, since you are awake and willing to chat, any thoughts on **septimus** and **Darth**? I’m going to start suspecting the superquiet as scared scum. Too many quiet for all to be scum, but still… ---

Chatting is all I’m doing right now, since I’m actually editing a (super) short film. I’ll definitely take an in-depth look at them. ---
