I see this post as most troublesome for three reasons.
1) How can you be 99.99% sure of Bad Ash' truthfulness??
2) When is alignment ever irrelevant??
3) The remaining fluffiness in the post seems little more than subterfuge should Jcakes turn up town.
Vote: Drixx
Alignment is closer to irrelevant when there are two scum factions. BA can be scum, and still help town remove the opposing faction. Worst case scenario, we lynch you, and you're town. We're down to 8, and know BA is scum. I shoot BA, they nk, we're down to 6. 5 can vote. As long as there aren't 4 scum right now, out of our 9 players(that's including BA), it doesn't seem advantageous for a mafia role cop to lie to us and out himself at this junction. If there are 4 scum right now, we lose tomorrow if I shoot someone.
Let me think about this, I apologize for the long post.
1. Laarz-scum working with BA, not actually dr.
2. Bad Ash-mafia role cop using town to flush out the competing faction
3. flubbucket-potential zombie now
4. AnnualAntAnswers-potential zombie now
5. Jcakes-gonna lynch anyways most likely, but likely zombie
6. Moar-godfather who made an early role claim designed to keep themselves from being lynched.
7. Drixx-godfather or zombie now
8. korialstraz-android ability that was used to protect the cop makes him seem about as town as is possible.
9. IWantToUseNumbersInMyName-claimed vig, still alive for some reason after so long, scum with BA
I said all this earlier. 4 scum left requires that BA be scum. If BA is scum, and koria, myself, and jcakes are town(because only if we're lynching a town player do we potentially lose now), then some combination of laarz, moar, flub, AAA, and Drixx have to be scum, for us to be screwed. That's...possible, I suppose, although it would essentially require a 5 person mafia team to start, AND a at least 1 person zombie team(up to 2 guaranteed now). more than 25% of the starting players would be anti-town, and one of them able to recruit. That seems unlikely. I put it at more likely that there's only 3 mafia left MAX. If one of those is BA, and we kill a town player right now, I shoot him, we're down to 6 players tomorrow, 5 can vote, 2 scum, and we're fine, although still on the edge.
If Jcakes isn't town, and thus I don't need to shoot, but there are still 3 scum total, tomorrow we're at 3/7 scum, with all votes counting. Actually the exact same situation for town either way. 1 misplaced vote lets scum win. So...again, I just don't see how us lynching Jcakes helps the scum either way.
