From where I’m sitting, I genuinely doubt whether both yours and Mikal’s roles exist in the game. So either you’re scum or Mikal is scum from where I’m sitting at. However, if you’re both town, then from my POV it has to be exactly Awesome/REF.
Basically, you’ve summarized my thinking here. The balance in this game makes no sense with all the protective and investigative roles claimed. That being said, even I’m skeptical of the circumstances that would be required to be true for Mikal to be scum and, given that, Awesome almost certainly has to be. As for his partner, REF seems entirely plausible. If you are the Innocent Child, then either you’ll be dead, town-confirmed or sus next DP.
I would like all claims on the table before I decide, but it’s basically a certainty that Awesome is scum. Getting the big picture is the best thing. Also, why have you not pressured Awesome to full claim? Do you townread Awesome?
We already have his role and he’s been almost entirely unaccommodating when it comes to any kind of engagement most of this DP. I see that he posted some earlier and I’ll get to that, but I’m not townreading him. I also can’t dismiss my Cop result entirely.
You kind of are though. On one hand you’re saying Mikal doesn’t have to be scum, but on the other you’re saying because of our roles, he has to be scum.
I’m saying that, when it comes to the balancing of this game, his and my roles both stick out. Considering balance is not chief among the factors I’m considering atm, Mikal’s role isn’t what I would consider proof positive that he’s scum. It’s concerning, but it’s not a given.
I’ll just shoot you a question point blank: what is your scum exactly scum team?
Until I get REF’s claim, I can’t say that the Awesome/REF team is the most likely, but that’s where I’m leaning currently.
