I disagree I don’t think that’s the case.
I think if this were true someone would have been claiming mail each day.
Has someone claimed receiving mail? I don’t remember this in my skim but maybe I missed it.

I think there’s much better assumptions that can be made starting from knowledge rather than assumptions though.

Eg Yesterday was Mozamis V VFP.

This means either Mozamis is scum or there is scum in the town block because nothing else really happened.

How does your VCA change if Mozamis is scum?
If Mozamis is town?

It makes no sense to have all 4 scums in the group of 13 either because that would be giving Scum more weight that they actually have (they should be 4 in 17, so why treestump 4 townies and nake them 4 on 13?)

So, logically (which this game isn't) the correct choice is 3 in 13 and 1 treestump in 4 (the exact NORMAL distribution)

In that I see your argument but disagree with it.

In politics there’s something known as Gerrymandering.
It’s the idea that all of a certain group are combined together for the purposes of limiting its power.
Until we see a scum flip somewhere that supports your theory I don’t think that’s a valid assumption to make.
Especially since we just lost a jailkeeper that grouping could have been made to rebalance and give town a good shot and scum outside.

Until we get in schadd’s head and figure out why I think sticking to play and facts is better.

I already established why I though he was Town.

IF he is scum though, I haven't done the work yet.

Also, you don't really want to rely on MY VCA. I do strange stuff and have no solid rules for it. It's unauthentic at best.

Like, you literally just committed to voting one of my 4 suspects to test my theory. Either that or you have to get a scum flip outside of my 4 suspects to disprove my theory.

Correct. It’s more your theory is one that’s really unfalsifiable and I hate those.
We could elim everyone off group to see if you’re right but I don’t think that’s smart strategically.
Having a foundation that’s an unfalsifiable assumption is bad.

Hmmm I will have to look at Anya’s ISO for that. Did Anya claim it under duress?
Mom was a mailman but only to who she jailed if I follow the flip correctly. (Btw hi mom I miss you!)
I don’t think everyone is a mailman though.
That would be weird and hard to keep track of.

On contrary, it only takes ONE bad result to prove it wrong. You should support my elimination pool until we get a green flip in it. If one flips green THEN I'm proven wrong.

In other words; you do get a scum flip or prove me wrong TODAY. It's not THAT bad if you look at the other options.

Incorrect methods can get correct results.

I obviously do not disagree with the conclusion that I am town I just wanna make sure I am not starting with flawed assumptions.

Uhm I don’t see how?

We would need 2+ scum in treestumps or none to invalidate your claim of 1 scum in three stumps.
Can you try again in a different way?

Well, last night, I was targeted by a mailman. They said they were a town odd-night combined mailman alien, that I was both roleblocked and rolestopped. (They apologized for blocking my actions, which is unfortunate, because I did use an action last night--ironically enough, *I* targeted *you*.) They then said they didn't have much more to say, other than townreading you, thinking I am town, and wanting thoughts on Auro; they gave me a code word to confirm it was from them. They also specified a way beyond the code word to reveal to me.

But I assumed it was from Momrangal doing a gambit, that she lied about being odd-night alien with her really being a jailkeeper and that the message originated from her.

I suppose my assumption could've been wrong, but I very much did receive a message with the above as the contents of it and it at least somewhat checks out since I know for a fact that my action on you failed.
Did a search for mailman to try to find Anya’s claim.

I still don’t find it and if someone could be a doll and help me out that would be awesome.

Mastina v Tsu seems to be a thing

It’s likely with the mason claim Mom visited Mastina and blocked her
Did we find out why Tsu thought Mom visited them?

Also mason + active power is rare.

I had that with Mom but I am not so sure it happens twice with this setup.

Mastina can you please explain?
