The assumption that there can only be one miller is an odd one.In post 183, Cabd wrote:One note about Marky Mark's Claim....
Four slots had not yet posted when this miller claim went down:
If this were a "Mafia fakeclaiming miller" scenario, I am willing to bet that Marky Mark would have waited until the town in this list had posted to ensure there was not an ACTUAL miller claim, or Marky Marky is scum with exactly this list, which, uh... yeah probably not. In a mini normal or micro game, fake miller claims are less likely to be CC'd. But this is a 21 player normal. Lots of potential roles in the game that could sniff out fakery this early.
I'm good w/ Marky for now, even independently of townreading the content of his posts.

I am more likely to post something similar to that as town than scum.

consider this:
Etine claims under low pressure and gets towncred
T3 claims under low pressure and just happens to claim a role that's hard for town to verify without attempting to vig them
When pushed on their claim logic T3 then claims a completely different role, including the specific modifier
At a similar time a counterwagon springs up out of nowhere on Arte when T3 was in real danger of getting limmed
T3's logic is that their BP claim was gambit to ensure Kitty gets elimed without revealing their actual role, but general consensus was to lim Kitty D2 barring a major change of gamestate anyway regardless
I was thinking T3/Kitty S/S but just maaaybe T3/Vasex are actually S/S given the speed the Arte counterwagon gained pace

He barely says anything about Etine's alignment - this type of hands off approach is often used by scum who do not want their fingerprints on an early town-wagon.
His read on kitty switched from town to scum fairly quickly and I don't really see the justification for the progression.

Tbh, I had more equity in the Kitty/T3 theory when T3 had only claimed BP, the subsequent change of claim to gated cop made this less likely
See my response to this issue above, its not a great play as ever alignment, but makes very little sense given that the consensus had already swung hard to eliming kitty d2In post 1430, NDMath wrote:Why would a scum {copy-paste the rest}?

You do not proactively solve the game, you only pop in to make pushes on people who have a chance of getting killed.

Simple Fruit Vendor is a town investigative. Babysitter and Jailkeeper both have quasi-investigative potential.
Plus the Universal Backup.
The miller messes with the Mafia Cop.
There is nothing bastard about having 2 traitors. There is nothing bastard about putting 2 players of any alignment together in a neighbourhood. There is nothing that states that multiple traitors should be aware of each others identities. Which, mind you, is another innate advantage for the town—not only was the scumteam disjointed due to the traitor, but doubly so due to the traitors' own dilemma.
The setup is balanced.
