The scum team feels weak in a 20 player game with 4 members.

that would depend on what bork thinks is balanced. i'm not making assumptions either way but i could just as easily see 4 as i could see 5 depending on remaining unclaimed roles and potential remaining scum power (like i could see 2 goons maaaaaaaaaaybe)
don't really care about it today

I only played the first Xenosaga game, so I don't know enough about the flavor to hypothesize about an obvious missing faction.

I can say that the main (anti-)villain of the franchise (Wilhelm) hasn't flipped yet. But he's order-aligned.
Albedo is also a kind of major villain, although he's mainly a personal antagonist for Rubedo. I think he maybe gets a little bit of "Defeat Means Friendship" later in the series, though, or at least lots of "Alas, Poor Villain." But he hasn't flipped yet.
Dunno if someone has claimed either of them as their flavor-name.

Bork says the game's not going quickly.
But to me, I have the opposite take on it.
Bluntly, I'm...well. Really, really struggling to keep up. I'm sorry, everyone. I'll end up working the motivation to do stuff somehow. Or failing that, sheep near deadline. Regardless of who's the lynch candidate. (I'd lynch myself at this point simply because I'm that deadweight.)
I really don't feel anything.
I'll need to read. Maybe I'll feel something after seeing the posting from other people.
But right now, I don't.
And this is The Fall levels of...badness in me, you could say. I know it's possible that I can do this. Just, right now, I don't know how.
I could see Iece as scum with a role that beats the JK. Or scum with two scum, obv.
I could see zMuff as scum.
I could see mollie as scum.
I could see Skull as scum, playing a high-level scumgame, even though mostly I lean against it.
I could see pidgey as scum, in spite of Brian Skies and Gooner all playing solid games. (In fact I might actually be leaning this way, but by like a small fraction of a percent. If there were only two candidates, this would be a 50.005%, not even close to 51%, and there's not only two candidates.)
I suck. I'm sorry. There's no excuse for this kind of thing. :/

Actually, looking at flavor again, Black/White Testaments and Wilhelm are alive. So with 3 Order-aligned flavor scum left, it's not obvious that 2 would remain or which 2, though it's easy to find 2. So not very informative.
Albedo (who later becomes the White Testament) and Wilhelm were just the ones that occurred to me. I didn't remember the Black one.

I'll be V/LA Wednesday through Friday.
I'll try to be on before I leave Wednesday to vote someone.
I think I prefer mastin or mollie, so I suspect it will be mollie.
I probably do not like mcmollie and skullduggery the least regarding lynches that have happened.
I know where you're going with this, so I'm gonna just nip this in the bud right here. Yes, I've been on every lynch wagon this game except for Kagami's. Below you will find some data on my voting patterns in previous games (not including the ones where I died early and didn't get a chance to do much of anything).
I was Town in all of those games. I'm a chronic wagon-pusher, and this game is no different. That is not a Scum-tell for me.

touhou just finished and I am telling you this looks like the same play. he catered his game to nacho and that is what it looks like he did here altho mastina's last post looks dreadful and I don't know what to do with pidgey.
