OMG I’m actually caught up. Lots to ruminate about. If I had been able to participate more the last couple days I would have argued for not lynching any of the switch claimers and letting the scum or Vig take care of them for us, but that ship has clearly sailed. I am inclined to think that I will move my vote tomorrow in such a way as to maximuze the chance of resolving both brewha and crys.

I think Paul’s theory about brewha’s scum motivation fails not only for the reason mentioned above --that the other switch holder, if Town, would have had no reason to counterclaim – but also because I think if scum were going to try that, they would have tried to out the switcher of a role more dangerous to scum. Paul points out that the Vig shooting wildly would have a 1/4 chance of hitting scum, but from the point of view of either scum team, it’s only 1/8. That’s a 7/8 chance of the Vig kill helping their wincon; an investigator is much more dangerous.

Going to take a hot bath and ruminate, then post more.
