And what possible game advantage would that have for scum in a game where scum roles appear to be randomized through the color names? It's not all females; all men; all dark colors; it seems to be totally random, so as we've said MANY times in this game, what advantage would there be to lying about your color? Conversely, why would this be a scum ability? It just doesn't make sense, but that's because you're grasping at straws.

Incorrect. I see "what happens in a room", not people's roles
per se
. I have reason to believe that non-physical actions don't get reported to me; I didn't see anything from Bamboomancer last night either, as his role seemed to be entirely passive (the "shame" of killing someone in front of the socialite). I asked the mod about this and she wouldn't give me any more than that.

Except that I said he was Green
before
kops started asking about the Rev./Mr. part (which was a mistake on my part, should have read my PM again during that superlong post). As far as I can tell, before I named myself and kops, elvis_knits was the only one currently alive to claim a color. Therefore to be making it up I'd have had to discern correctly which of {{EmpTyger, bigAl, kops}} was Green. Only 33% odds at best, and a big risk if wrong.

, so if you weren't the one to send in the kill, you might not show up.
I'm pretty sure this is why I didn't see anything before EmpTyger's plan of last night. With elvis and kops the only two outside of the room with the claimed Doctor according to the plan, and assuming scum believed me when I described my ability (which I did WAY too early in this game, *sigh*), their only option was to kill someone in the same room as me. They'd avoided doing this so far, which is why I never saw anything; this also lends credence to the elvis_knits-kops-Tamuz scum group, although they (kops-Empmay have been desperate enough to kill Bamboomancer to trade him 1-for-1.
But I'd like to hear from elvis before preceeding much more.
QFT. I also want to hear from EmpTyger about his vigilante role, still.
