"that doesn't mean you had to kill me. there are plenty of other ways you could've made sure your birth succeeded."
"trust me, Roderick, I've run billions of simulations of the last couple months. this was the only way."
"I really would've fucked it up that bad?"
"you really would have, yes."
"so what happens now?"
"we wait it out. Emma thinks that she can't risk changing the timeline, and that's our biggest advantage, because we know we can, but we also need to avoid revealing that too early. we've already lost this round, so there's really no reason for us to try to change any of this. ultimately, she still has all the advantage here."
"what advantage does she have? like if time travel is a thing, why don't we just... do that?"
"we both have access to time travel, yes, but of completely different kinds. keep in mind that the computer your consciousness exists on, for instance, exists in the future. the data is being transmitted through time to a much more primitive computer here in the past, but the computer itself -- your actual consciousness -- is back here. she's the one who has the technology needed to send actual physical material through time."
"wait, so, does that mean... did she send you back? is that how you're here?"
"yes, exactly. thirteen years from now, I'll be sent back to the 80s. then, at 21, I get hired by Markus, Sr., and... that's how we end up here."
"I guess that all... kind of makes sense, actually. do you think you can stop her, though? it seems like she pretty much completely has the upper hand here, and... do we even know for sure what she wants?"
"what she wants is to stop the sequences from successfully going through. she just has to prevent one of them from succeeding and then she's blown the whole thing."
"and we're behind on resources, behind on information, and decades in the past. how are we supposed to stop her?"
"hey, I'm pretty clever, Roderick. after all... I wasn't born yesterday."
Wagonomics has died, and was a town 3-month vigilante.
Wisdom and FL are never w/w since scum!Wisdom would probably bus. So, I’m kind of thinking FL may be spewed green by this.

Just because Party boat was utterly convinced Flavour is scum (1,000 legit reasons), doesn't mean he is. But then PB was so certain, and kinda worried that if he'd said nothing, Flavour wouldn't get a second thought, and he sort of has charmed most of us into liking him. So I don't trust him. But I'm not calling him scum.
I could vote Gamma. I don't have strong feelings either way myself right now, but both Ausuka and PB thought he was possible scum. Not definite, but possible. Or, ans so did Mastina, though she also had trekkie as scum, and her reads are kinda garbage. her VCA could be useful, if someone wanted to put the work in.
Mastina's Xtomx read came from his play. Still don't know it's accurate, and I don't want to lynch Xtomx right now, but he's far from lock town in my mind.
Vax has left us pretty much nothing in terms of useful reads, and no one defended or attacked him hard enough to get anything from that.
Trekkie has nothing of use but to remind me Gamma claimed. Roleblocker. Trying to counter claim, Theta's counter claim. Could be a scum role.
From these combined dead town reads, I'm thinking possibly a team of Light, Xtomx, and Gamma. I could see that working. But I'd rater vote Light.
VOTE: Light Ganski
You think he bussed Dann?

scum bus, nancy
being on a scum wagon isnt an automatic town indicator
Because, I’m really tired of fake cop claims. I’m still really pissed that Ausuka fooled me into mislynching PB.

I want to think this but lets face it scum can town read each other as much as they bus each other
