Okay read through on a skim level. Again FYI just moved upstate into a snowstorm, no power, don’t have a computer set up yet and adjusting to life with kids on top of a lot of other stuff. Played because skep really needed an extra person for his setup but inactivity is not a scum read and anyone that knows me outside of game can verify I am literally so busy I can’t think atm. Hopefully stuff settles down soon
that being said. I am not familiar with this show but am familiar with the theme on a broad level. Emperor, empress dowager, and concubines is present in a lot of shows and anime. Marco Polo, apoth diaries etc. it’s exactly as Rex describes it. A bunch of people trying to get into power by doing shady shit. So it would not surprise me if town even have negative utility roles, if there is a tp etc. given how Vader functions. I think it’s more likely that it’s 3 scum and both town and scum likely have roles that can affect favor or fuck with the emperor directly (as implied by the op). Almost sure scum can target the emperor directly and fuck with favor.
Vader gives favor to x. It’s stopped or redirected etc. then when he says I gave it to x, it makes the look like shit. Kind of ties in with the entire theme split of shady shit and everyone going for power

I don’t think magrith is scum. All his suggestions are retarted but I think that comes from a noob town place and I think scum is prob on the wagon of killing him as it’s very opportunistic and a super easy lunch to point back at and defend.
wylted claim bothers me. It’s not just a miller but it’s a miller as he gains favor. So the emperor picks him and he turns into a miller where he can’t be investigated. It’s essentially saying do target me. But as I’m thinking about this in real time more, it’s a good way for scum to redirect or move favor on to him to make him appear guilty and the emperor would say he didn’t target him. I actually buy this and I think Wylted could be town
I want to look at the Magroth Wagon because again I think it’s a very easy push to make when the logic behind it just bleeds noob town
