If so, we have had three switches claim… I tend to put them in the townie column barring a counterclaim or further info. I think each mafia faction had their own conversation on this matter privately. And wouldn’t have needed to take the risk of claiming to further discussion on this topic. I think brewha, capt, and crys should consider block voting toDay while they are all still around…

I don’t think your logic holds. In the state we’re in, a switch claim with no target attached can’t be meaningfully counterclaimed, and it seems like a very safe thing (since it’s not a 100% certainty even if we had all the info) for a scum to admit to owning “a switch”.

Elaborate if you can, but I don’t see any reason in your reasoning to believe a switch claimer is more likely to be town.
