Okay, here's what we're going to do.

We're going to flip Annie today, and she's going to flip red.

VOTE: Annie Edison

I kinda thought I'd wait a bit and discuss this more with GX since I would like to talk to him, but I need to observe that this slot is pretty naked scum at this point and it needs to die today.

I'm up to three bullet points so let's do this
-Claim/soft is scum
-Bell/Titus positions are scum
-PT inversion think is scum
-Think setup/other reads spew her slot scum

Here, Annie basically claims PT cop with a guilty on Dunn, and in retrospect this is like, a naked scumclaim. Why? Because a PT cop checks someone that is scummy. But Annie's *entire iso* before this point is screaming that unwnd/dunnslot is town. There is 0 reason for Annie to reaction test Dunn and there is 0 reason for Annie to use any sort of investigation action on one of the hydra's strongest townreads. Think about who, if Annie was town, they WOULD target. GX? Muffin? Myself? Targeting Dunn is the most implausible and nonsensical night action choice for a town-aligned Annie slot.

THE SCUM PTS INVERT TOO

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, since it just didn't make sense to me. I get that Annie is thinking about PTs since Annie plans to claim PT cop. But this does not help Annie solve at all, in fact she never seems to look at any indication people are signaling across thread. But I've decided that the scum motivation of this post is to say something that will ultimately end up being proven false so that Annie could have attempted to solve something about the setup that ended up being wrong. This feels like something Annie thought about in the scum PT and then decided to share in thread as a way to kinda townspew herself.

Anyway, the bigger complaints are Titus and Bell reads. Annie is very confident in Bell town day 1, which suggests a willingness to read Bell on his own accord. But then as soon as the other thread starts complaining about the role softs, Annie suddenly drops the read and is willing to reconsider for what are frankly really poor reasons. Dunn still thinks Bell is scummy off reactions and stuff. That's fine, whatever. Annie did not, Annie thought Bell was scum for the weird crumb noise which, if Annie had a real townread on Bell before, I think they push back and engage there in a deeper way. The same is true about Titus. Very insistent on Titus town. Then willing to drop it. People can reconsider reads, but the level of insistence followed by the backpedal is more the facade of solving rather than solving.

Now let's think about why scum would need a PT cop. We just had two dead town in a hood. I'm not sure if it's the same hood as deacon/wine/dunn, but I think deacon/wine/dunn is a 3-person deep town hood. This means that the hoods in this game have two functions. 1--they allow town to share action results without hardclaiming their role to the whole town. 2--they increase town paranoia. They also allow scum to avoid falling into mason traps. So I think Annie is a scum PT cop that has come back from another timeline to hunt down town power, and in this sense, she is the bigger threat to town (over GX, who I kinda think might also be scum but am less enthusiastic about at the moment, and who I can easily see Annie as having protected).

Bell is town. Brian is town. Dunn is town. You all need to stop fighting each other and flip Annie with me. Because I would like to see some red flips in this game before it is over. Thank you.
