I don’t play under the assumption that scum are stupid or not paying attention. I think LightFoot is more likely to be a Town Power who made a slip and got frustrated with herself and the people who called attention to it, but frustration won’t help us find scum. What might help us find scum, as has already been mentioned, is acknowledging that a target landed on your back as soon as you made your post and sharing any information that might have been gleaned through the apparent power. It would allow the other town powers to make a more informed decision about whether or not to try and protect/protect/etc Lightfoot. ---

**orthohedron** , this might be a good time for you to make a last argument in your own defense…or at least to give us your thoughts on the other players so that we can consider them in the event that you flip Town. Total silence at this point suggests that you don’t want to risk giving anything away, which is not a Townie trait. ---

Aight, just checking. Is it too late to get you to vote Mahaloth instead of Subs? Suburban Plankton is unlikely to be lynched, and I’d really rather see Mahaloth swing than ortho. ---

Same question to anyone voting a one-off and not orthohedron. If you’re not for ortho’s lynch, can you be FOR Mahaloth’s? ---

That’s a good point. I’d rather ortho die than nobody. At any rate, with 11 minutes left in the day, it’s really too late. Maybe tomorrow, Mahaloth! ---

Suburban Plankton is unlikely to be lynched, and I’d really rather see Mahaloth swing than ortho. Wait a minute This all started because there appears to be a universal vanilla PM- that I didn’t know was universal I’m suspect ( or was ) to you for not knowing that . But you want me to vote the player that has that identical PM- which was used against me but will be used against them- when the consensus it that it’s the correct one? Just because Scum has access to it too- this is a tool that Scum could use to lynch every true vanilla- because they could fake it What was the major Scum factor that made \*\* mahaloth \*\* have to claim in the first place? ---

LightFoot, did you miss that Mahaloth was apparently unaware of his role name? That’s what kicked off the whole Mahaloth thing. ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > LightFoot, did you miss that Mahaloth was apparently unaware of his role name? That’s what kicked off the whole Mahaloth thing. To build on this: Storyteller posted a sample PM that says vanilla townies are “Peasant Redshirts.” Mahaloth claims he got a role PM that says he’s a “Peasant Redshirt.” We have a stream of dead townies, seven of which flip “Peasant Redshirt.” And when asked to claim, Mahaloth says he’s a “Movie Extra.” Then, on checking, realizes he was wrong. Do you see what might be suspicious about that? ---

Astral. I feel you on the Maha case. You have a good point there. I came in after his claim and then the light foot slip.
