This makes a lot of sense to me as an answer actually
The flavor would be really good I'd imagine

I suspected that mastina thought I was a PR based on my comment about asking Datisi about confirmed VT's. But, she should have known me well enough to not be as confident in that as she seemed to be.

Or just an unrelated extra kill. The multitasking rule is carefully worded to not imply that the productivity mechanic is the only way scum can have extra kills.

I'm honestly torn as to whether this is worth asking Andres to claim or not

This mystery isn't getting solved otherwise

I was 100% last night. So it’s not influenced by me.

Does it make sense if 1 PR claim is fake? Or is the discrepancy too big?

Any VT claims want to put out that they put in less than 100% yesterday just because they couldn't be fucked to work?

Okay, I think the most logical conclusion is that someone gave an amount lower than -30%. Yeah, a negative number. Because we're literally at a point here where the numbers could only logically have been fudged by one individual, and they can't have been fudged that much without them giving a literal NEGATIVE value for production.

Are you saying that 5 mafia or a third party still doesn't make it add up?

Malakittens was informed of something. Could easily be the existence of a traitor who fucks with the numbers like that.

I just checked and Ircher's slip of the numbers came before Mala's first post in thread.

If we're assuming it's a traitor though we should ignore them on the basis that they probably can't act in any other way. Continue treating Andre and anyone else who later gets cleared by PP or Fire as innocent unless we lim the roleblocker and the game doesn't end.

Yes. I am. If we assume 5 regular mafia, so 2 alive that don't count on productivity, AND we make the generous assumption that Ydrasse acted last night (which I personally doubt) then we still average no less than 86%. Without the exception of a role designed specifically to do so, mafia shouldn't have any effect on productivity.

There are three possible scenarios;
1. Multiple town players have lied. I think this is basically impossible
2. Mafia got a second kill for a reason other than productivity. I think this is extremely unlikely.
3. There exists a role that is actively sabotaging production and can give negative values for the average.

Scenario 3 means there's a second scum, unless the Roleblocker has 2 OP abilities.

Yep

I'm agreeing with the spec that there could be a traitor

Asked Datisi some questions. Mafia cannot impact average productivity directly. They can affect individual players' productivity, but the player would be informed if their productivity was messed with.

Hmm, I got similar answers to similar questions

No clue then as to why there were 2 kills because scum interference in the percentages would have made the most sense

We can rule out a third party interacting with the productivity in any way though

Might just be responsible for the extra kill appearing though
