Fify. If Dunn is scum, it's with Roden but that's moonlogic paranoia.

A Dunn/Roden team here makes so little sense as to defy belief. I don't think you are trying to solve this game.

Sure. Why not? Maybe there's a Traffic Analyst or something.

No, you're right. Every objection to letting Bernard stay hidden is easily defeated by a decent crumb. Furthermore, the mod suggested there is some way to learn dead roles, such as a coroner, and there is also some way to talk to the dead, leaving multiple avenues by which a dead Bernard could expose a liar.

What point if mafia waltz in mason claim on almost confirmed status.
They’d have to explain how they are masons with Roden. It’d be an insanely high ridiculous bar and they’d have to show crumbs/evidence before this post

So they’d have to be planning it before Roden’s masons claim

It wouldn’t work
Dunn already showed no one could be masons. In fact....

They're scum. Hope that helps!

I am pretty crap with game mechanics but failing to see why second mason should not be claiming here. As someone who's scumread Roden, it'd make me feel much more relaxed about my unvote.

Roden claimed Mason.

Some people think it is a fake claim, and want to kill him.

Some people think that he is telling the truth.

Some people think that his mason partner should out to answer the above delima

Some people think that his mason partner should stay hidden, because "Don't give scum info" is a rule that applies in all situations, and should not actually weigh the pros and cons in the specific scenario (the last bit is me being sarcastic. I know you sometimes miss sarcasm, so wanted to clarify.)

My intuition is that Bell has demonstrated TMI in their tone twice now, and they are the high-activity scum poster as well as the scum in the hood. I suggest we wagon Bell next.

Well guys, I think my work here is done.

Thanks yeah, I still don’t get the sarcasm but I agree with the latter. I don’t think mason partner needs to claim atp and I don’t think we should be running up a mason claim.

Yeah. The first argument makes sense from a certain pov. Okay frog I need you to listen *really* listen because I’m about to brain dump On you and I’ll be sad if you don’t believe me.
1. I just got here and my first thought was “what is going on?”
2. Always be devils advocating. Make the scum nervous by default believing them. Oh no the miselim is slipping away shut!
3. Always be calling people out. You never know! Maybe you’ll call out scum one of these days and they’ll try to night kill you.
4. See my reasoningmy about. Why a Mason claim is a poor idea for scum to claim especially with a lot of time on the clock.
5. When I don’t understand something I’m just this way and kind of annoying. I need an explanation and a reason and yes, voting a claimed Mason mid discussion doesn’t make sense.

6. I don’t know what you mean by Galron. Or supposing they’re town. I dunno what their alignment is.

Wait, hold on. Roles are not revealed upon death so it's surely +EV for scum to NOT have the Mason claim? If it's a fake claim, and only one of them claim, then they get a ride off of it. If it's fake, two scum would have to claim Mason to make it viable, no?

What is the downside to Mason claiming if it's true?

a lot of players seem to be struggling with this concept: masons being dead isn't good

they should easily be able to construct an unassailable crumb. like, spell out their name with the last letter of the second word in each post multiple times, or something
