That readlist of the communicaters comes from scum I think. Scum know who the scum NPC is. This is Pooky leading Town into deception.

???

@callers,

Think it was asked already, but do you know if there is any material benefit if we or you can identify the scum caller?

The NPCs are give us advice. Do you want to listen to the one who is giving bad direction?

The one that's trying to harm Town?

Pooky's saying Hey, this is who we should be listening to. And this other one is cute. That doesn't track.

Wh... why doesn't it track

The radio buzzes alive, and new accusations pop up everywhere..

So you think pooky is scum and telling us to listen to the scum caller, who is...?

He keeps saying Shutterbug is scum, but he doesn't address their content. Every other NPC he gets at their content. He just says Shutterbug is scum, adorable, cute, whatever. Makes me think we should be listening to Shutterbug.

I don't know but I think it's +town for shutterbug.

I was following for a minute but now pooky isnt scum and it's still town for shutterbug somehow?

I dont think this is a real thought process

Oh never mind I get it now.

Is it just me or is shutterbug blatantly crumbing traitor?

I wonder if the callers even know what a traitor is.

I imagine they've been shown the wiki because Tetrina seems to be aware of acronyms specific to forum mafia, and they seem to all know each other irl

And if they're reading they would get the context from the discussion earlier today.

Well that was a thing
My gut wants to believe one of the people doing the pearl clutching thing is scum, because I feel like it would be an oversight to not tell the callers “hey there’s also someone among you that isn’t operating with the same intentions”

Also I’m starting to read Shutterbug’s posts in a Mahiru voice

Okay this took me a second to get but I think Monarch is saying she agrees with Locke’s townread on me?

Honestly if I had to pick out one of the people I’d seen that behavior from as the mafia caller (I’m gonna probably opt out of using scum as a game term like I tend to do on my homesite because outside of here it feels too negatively charged) I’d select Maple over Shutterbug because Shutterbug’s reaction at least felt like a bit of roleplay, the same doesn’t go for Maple.

The most recent broadcast, it was basically dominated by the subject of the mafia caller hunt
Pearl clutching is talking about the way Shutterbug and Maple both responded to the idea of the mafia caller by showing surprise. It felt a bit like they were appalled at the idea a mole could be within the callers.
Also I think based on Monarch’s suspicions of Locke these broadcasts are the only way they have to communicate with each other as well as us.

So what would a traitor in this game look ike? Tweet said one scum caller and at least three town callers. Is the at least there bc tweet wasn't sure she could get a fifth or for what other reason?. If that fifth slot is a traitor, what does that mean in this context? That there is another scum stump that the scum team doesn't know?

The caller who wishes for the scum to win also wishes to deceive the town-aligned callers into thinking they are a part of them.

But this from the rules seems to limit the number of scum stumps, or more directly the number of NPCs who want scum to win.

So pearl clutching is exaggerated surprise?
Shutterbug has said they can only talk when the radio is on. I dont know how long the radio is on for though, if they're IMing or forum posting... in one of the comms, shutterbug asks a question, and the rest of them answer it. Asking about who should lead town

@Callers, if you're able to, can you describe in more detail how your conversation works? If you're unable to answer, blink twice Also, for those of you that are "good", do you know the name of the faction you're aligned with already? I find the way Locke described theirself to be odd, saying good, rather than a faction name, but not being a forum player maybe they are not used to "claiming" in that sense.

Pedit: yes. Only 4 callers' alignments are guaranteed. There are explicitly 2 alignments of caller unless the usage of "both" just refers to the 2 revealed alignments, in which case a 3p is possible. I think most likely the 5th caller is either town or "traitor" - aligned with scum, knows the identity of the scum (or doesnt - this isn't a normal so an uninformed scum is possible).

Possible 3p wincon could be to identify the scum caller without getting IDed by scum or something. In that case they'd be helping the town.
