Not impossible, but likely a misplay if true.

Unless they had reason to believe ownership could be revealed somehow. The first creature came into play before Micc/Nancys ability to gift a creature was known, so if scum, they made a mistake imo, or suspected creatures could be tied to owners easily enough to justify using their creatures and spells sure optimally.

Since someone brought this up publicly(much easier to get potential scum to admit a connection to something if they think it gets people to town read them), I have to ask:

Alisae, why did you give Chara that creature? Chara in particular. The real reason.

-Cerb
If the double voting creature is town, then it's way easier to get a lynch on scum without bussers.

~Kiana
I'm saying I find it very doubtful that none of the scum slots in the game have the ability to remove a creature from play.


That means even though there are currently 5(as of last VC) votes on SD, you can only count on 3 of those votes remaining in play when SD hits L-1, if they're scum(or scum want us to THINK they're scum). The highest they ever got was L-2, I believe, so if all those vote come back, they'd only be at 5 votes, ignoring the creature, because it doesn't count if we're voting scum.

That means we're far from a consensus.

-Cerb
I'm not sure I understand where you are coming from on the bolded part. Roles were created before alignment. How can you be so sure scum has the ability to remove a creature from play? Is removal of a creature a pretty common ability in MtG?

(I'm about 10 pages behind so I apologize if this has already been answered.)

From how I see it, it means if Alisae is scum it isn’t with Micc/Nancy. It also to me means the Creature owner if scum, is not aligned with Micc/Nancy.

Furthermore Alisae supposedly copied a role and stole mana. How would that apply to cards?

@Skybird yes. Control decks very typically remove Creatures and is a good combat to an aggrieved deck.

The ability to remove a creature might actually be a spell card, I think I remember seeing that somewhere that there are cards that let you send a creature back to its owner, maybe not for mtg but I feel like even if so it would be similar across trading card games
PEdit: OTM confirms my suspicions

Oh, just not preserving the ability to spring multivoting on someone they really wanted lynched. That's all.

-Cerb

pedit:@Skybird: Two reasons.

1) I know scum have factionals.
2) Every color in magic can remove creatures somehow, some more easily than others. It seems implausible that an entire scum team, with 9-12 cards between them, would not have at least one piece of creature removal that they've managed to generate the mana to use.

ppedit:@OTM:I don't believe your conclusions necessarily follow. Duplicating a teammate, who you know has an ability that allows you to steal mana, so you can prevent town slots from using their cards, seems good. I don't see any reason why the creature owner couldn't be scum with Micc/Nancy, unless you find the strength of the combination of their abilities(which were created before alignments were assigned) unlikely.

That burns the Creatures though and then town can prepare for that.

It would be a mistake to not play them here.

@Cerb I think there is something at play with my abilities I can’t say. I find that if Alisae and Nancy were scum together there is a huge misstep.

Exactly my point.
The creatures are creature cards.

So the voting can’t be duplicated from what I see.

So no “mistake” exists.

I heard they were town and didn't really think much about it besides

...

Alisae did not play a creature card from Micc's hand.

She used an ability of Micc's that can give someone else a green elemental, and generates a mana for herself.

Cards have no relevance to this.

Token generation is a common green theme.

You know of at least one occurrence where that has happened and scum won.
