That implicitly states that Scum do not learn the identity of all their teammates on their secret board. Otherwise, why would a Scum player need to hint they were the seventh guy who didn’t show up to chat?

Yes, **Thing Fish** was talking about what I said, but gave information that I did not. Information that only someone who’s been reading a Scum board would know.

I’m not discounting anything. I am making my cases based on Day One reads.
