Do you remember our conversation about my gameplan if I drew godfather?

Does that make any sense from a manatee-scum PoV?

What exactly is the shape of your leftovers?

Assuming this to be true and Manatee is telling the truth, this implies that scum can both corrupt and give shards to the threshold of demonization to the same player in the same night. We know that Manatee was the target of this ability on N2, and Snarky has claimed to be corrupted so they seem to have been the target on Night 3.

This leads to an important question:

Who was corrupted on Night 1?

It seems like something that immensely furthers the scum alternate win condition that they seem to be going for, and since Annie Edison publicly had one shard from the handout on Day 1 and the fact that scum can corrupt AND give shards to the same player in the same night, why wouldn't they use corrupt+give shard to {ANY PLAYER}/give shard to Annie Edison to lock in two demons the first night? We know they didn't do this because Annie Edison claims to have been demonized Night 2.

The fact that no one is claiming to be corrupted Night 1 indicates to me that scum did not have access to this ability on Night 1. Even if it's X-shot there is no reason for them to wait to use this ability because what if the player with this ability was limmed Day 2? Then they wouldn't have been able to make use of it. So there must have been another reason that scum didn't use the corruption ability Night 1.

Probably because they needed to demonize the teammate with this ability in order to use it

. That makes sense because it feels like an OP ability and a mechanics-based delay on this role seems like a good idea for balance purposes. And demonization resolves the next Day so scum wouldn't be able to start corrupting until Night 2 at the earliest.

Guess who claims to have received two shards and been demonized on Night 1 and thus the only player who could have gained the ability to corrupt?

This is assuming that scum don't have another way to distribute shards/demonize themselves, which I think is a reasonable assumption. Someone check my logic, but

this makes it VERY LIKELY that ArcAngel9 is the Corrupter.

She should be the next player to claim.

ArcAngel's demonization always felt odd to me outside of this. She got some pressure from Annie Edison on Day 1 but she exited Day 1 being almost universally townread so why bother demonizing her more likely lims for the day like myself or CephTD?
