They’ve been coasting but trying to stay under the radar, IMO. I don’t put much into the scumslip, but the rest of their posting has been pretty ingenuine.In post 4625, Iconeum wrote:

Vorkuta hasn’t been contributing but he’s not really trying to hide it. It’s kind of in your face.
Either one or both COULD be scum, but I’d rather lynch Drew of the two.- Iconeum

I actually like FF’s point about buddying on this post. I didn’t think of it myself because I also <3 BB, but I agreed with FF after he said it that the way Drew went around it was a bit off.In post 2986, Doctor Drew wrote:

They look very political with their positioning. Like they’re setting themselves up to be in a decent spot socially amongst specific people.

And talk about it when you can, I'm curious now.
I do love dark chocolate though.
This is weird because he is basically saying Creature is scummy, yet doesn’t push creature. He’s not pushing anything better; this is the closest thing to a scumread he has espoused.In post 3082, Doctor Drew wrote:

Pretty sure you were town in all of those.
Again I don’t care about the “slip” - I glossed over all flavor myself - but claiming PGO here I do not understand. It’s not inherently scummy, but it is an inherently anti-town move because it doesn’t help us to know that here. Theoretically it only helps scum.In post 4284, Doctor Drew wrote:Skimmed my role PM for the important stuff, glossed over flavor stuff(including the cobble being town thing), which led to my question.
Also, since it got lost in Creature treating this game as his own personal playpen....
I am PGO, with an added wrinkle I will not share just in case I make it through the day.
And then this waffles and makes it policy where he has previously called him scummy. I mean, not that I disagree with him...In post 4285, Doctor Drew wrote:Also, VOTE: creature.
Honestly, don't care if you are scum, town, cult, or whatever.
You are making this game a chore for everyone, personally think you should be modkilled.
He’s not my top pick for scum. But out of the seemingly viable wagons that aren’t me (obv), this one is preferred for me.- Dr Easy Bake

People, I think the combination of nontown role and flavor skim explains not noticing Cobble=town better than town Role plus skim. I'm not certain it's a slip, but it's considerably better than a random lynch, and a PGO claim means he will never be NKed so we either lynch him or he lives to endgame. I don't think I've seen the kind of highly engaged scumhunting that it would take for me to think delaying this decision is wise.

I was a veteran of many cases, and I couldn't say I remembered a time when someone as arbitrarily picked out of a crowd as this Vorkuta guy had flipped scum. I also wasn't too keen on listening on anything the dancing fella had to say, on account of being such a poor detective, and I was surprised to see so many following him without asking any questions.
I thought it was important somebody let the monkey guy know that there was another wagon with the same number of votes. Didn't seem right to misrepresent the state of opinion to him like that. I thought it might be a good idea for him to iso Vorkuta and Doctor Drew himself and draw his own conclusions rather than following the loudest voices.
I took a moment to stress to the assembled crowd that I didn't think anyone had truly slipped up and admitted to being a mafioso. I detected a guilty conscience in the not so good doctor's words the old fashioned way. I found old fashioned ways usually survived long enough to become old fashioned for a good reason.

You didn’t explicitly say he was scummy, no. But IMO, you were pointing out a significant deviation from his town behavior in your experience. If that wasn’t scummy - then why?In post 4641, Doctor Drew wrote:Also, my role potentially has a negative town utility so I thought best to claim early. I will leave it up to you guys if you wanna keep me around.
I am town though.
Pre Edit: I also do have a scum read lol, that it lie number two from you.
And yes, you have a scumread now. Not at the time you posted that, to my knowledge. Your FL “slip” catch did not come until after that. Do you have any other scumread besides that?- Vorkuta

I think Fonz has it right. Getting rid of a PGO claim today makes the game easier in the future, particularly because the power of the PGO in a setup like this (if it's accurate and Cobble sided) is it helps set up a landmine for cult, but now that it's announced, they'd be stupid to target him, and now we're left with someone who necessarily needs to either be lynched at some point or left to the end of the game. And having read his posts, even if he's town why would I trust him as a maybe-town champion for lylo? It's possible there exist powerrole ways to neutralize him, but I don't think we need or should speculate on that.
And with all that said, I think he's more likely than most to flip scum. I think he gambled on an early roleclaim here, but he did so in a way to basically assure thatdespite claimingno one wonders why he wasn't removed from the game. Since this is role madness with no vanilla townies, this is pretty much the best he can do. Claim a slightly negative town utility role that would never be nightkilled (never any "why are you still around" questions) but hope it makes people read him as town.
I'm not sure how much credence I give to the "slip" (out of what? 30? town roles in the game you'd expect some not to have digested the town name in the role PM and just registered "town" in their heads), but it's certainly plausible.
---
The vork wagon, on the other hand seems highly suspect. Scum aren't going to stick their necks out to try to get the governor power established. While I'm sure scum would love to own the governor power, I'm willing to bet 30 chkflip nickels that the vast majority of scum quietly tried to make their way onto a wagon, either on the no governor wagon or whatever other wagon popped up (mena or whoever). I really doubt they'd spend their time tilting at windmills trying to get themselves elected.. - zoraster
