eh im against massclaim- sure lots of info's out there, but the game's still young, and theres still (probably) 3 scum to go. Dont see reason to potentially out more roles, esp since the revealed roles looks like they either do nothing (religion), or are challenging to play around like joda's inventor, joey's commuter, and gamma's joat.
setup spec is also not my strong suite, but i do think it's difficult to tell that until we see the full setup. a strongman would easily counter those protectives. i wouldn't be surprised to see scum with access to a protective but at that point i would still think it's better to use reads and role use rather than pure spec.
pedit: i'm not sure if Joda's role is random or predetermined. the second would be the same mechanically but way easier to balance.
i think there are like 4 players who haven't claimed.
"Sibling," Farkran asked, starting slowly.
"The CORE is full of lasers, and Chemist1422's entire existence depends on her eye. If she looks into a laser, she will almost certainly die. Did you think about that?"
"Oh yes, my brother. I love thinking about that."
also massclaim will just make the game devolve farther in the setup speculation rabbit hole, which is amazingly easy for scum to hide in, as i learned in a couple games.
Focus on the words of people and their votes, not their potential night roles/etc.

TOWN
brassherald (IC)
Gamma Emerald (JOAT, proven)
Jodaxq (Inventor, proven)
Klazam (duh)
Joey_ (Lynch at lylo, hes too town lol)
Shaziro (Prove the role at some point)
ORANGE SCUM WITHIN THIS GROUP
Almost50 (I believe of the religion spreaders, this is most likely to be town)
pidgey
marshy
THE REST
Kiana Kaslana
BuJaber
Chara
Titus
Casear
Ok, now i'm crunching out the iso's of each of the scum, to look for connections.
Spoiler: thoughts as i read stuff
VARSOON (random selection of Chara in conjunction)
Varsoon waffles on giving a solid titus read (137)
goes after solely town(or not-orange scum) at this point- mentions kok, elbirn, dunk, gamma
Chara's iso in connection with varsoon gives me not-aligned vibes, so Chara can be in Not Orange list
Varsoon shades joey here, talks with pidgey about gamma
and now varsoon talks with pidgey about me (manipulation here i think, which would make marshy the orange religion scum
Potential chainsaw defense of bujaber, targeting me.
pushed joey more
more pushing of me
interaction with chara that reads as him trying to convince
off topic, but if someone ever talks about being scum as much as varsoon did in this iso, im hanging him. period.
calls bu town
more waffling on titus
LOL at him talking about the trust tell thing after constantly claiming scum
guarded discussion with titus about science boosting him. I'm gonna put titus with orange scum
DUNK AND CREATURE
Dunk calls bu town, gamma scum, is ambigious about shit
Draws connection between Ranslot and Gamma
Defends creature
townreads Nero
(Creature is doing jack shit)
Creature picks titus to be host
dunk pushes kok
not as much to analyze here, really. Bu maybe?
TOWN
almost50
pidgey (not aligned with varsoon)
ORANGE POTENTIALITES
marshy (POE based from exempting pidgey)
Titus (Varsson fencesits so hard on this)
BOTH
BuJaber (Varsoon chainsaw defence, Dunk auto-townreading him in a crowd of confirmed townies)
Kiana Kaslana (did not see any scum mention this slot whatsover)
RED POTENTIALITIES
Chara (not aligned with varsoon)
Casear (Maybe due to dunk's drawing connections between townGamma and Casear?)
Okay. That was worth doing.
From that, Bu is coming out the worst. Will vote there. Marshy is also an option for orange religion scum.
Varsoon attacked me in defense of bu, generally chainsawing, and Dunk called Bu town, along with several other people, and since then they have been all flipped or clearly are town like gamma, leaving Bu. I'm thinking single scum in pool of town people thing, possibly.
Mainly what i'm saying is based on the scumslots' talk, Bu could be nicely associated with either one of them, if that makes sense?

Yes. I think it's logical to infer that whatever bu was saying at the time scum defended him worked well with the scum winconditions.
