The good news: CIAS is a dead scum. I'm not sure what to make of the other news...my theory on why CIAS did not die previously was wrong. So I was blocked or re-directed? Is it possible there is a scum doc? And are there no vanilla scum? More good news is that CIAS is a scum tracker, and I hope he might have tracked you one night and found you doing nothing. I am guessing that you are already listed vanilla on the scum boards. And I presume Cookies died protecting someone. Any clue who she would have been protecting? Sister would be my first guess?

Whew! We're both still alive on Day 6!
We've seen a scum roleblocker, tracker and godfather, I doubt there are any scum power roles left and certainly not a Doc. Maybe there's a paranoid Doc who roleblocks and protects (to match the sacrificial Doc and the Doc/Vig combo)? Although that seems like a lot of protective powers.
If Cookies wasn't the intended scum kill and, I guess she was protecting sister or metallic.
What do you make of crazy's expressed suspicions of CIAS both at the end of Day 3 and on Day 5? He didn't follow-up with a vote but was it bussing?

It doesn't really look like bussing to me. He's been pretty consistent. Day 3 he said he found Inner and CIAS suspicious, but came down on the side of Inner. Day 4 he voted Inner again, and day 5 he said he still found CIAS suspicious, but was voting Charr for self-preservation. It was really his Day 2 vote on Hockey over Story while ignoring Mahaloth that made me suspicious. If he were trying to build town cred by finding scum suspicious while not voting them, it looks like this would have been a good opportunity, but he just ignored Mahaloth.

So I voted Blockey as a prod. We'll see if anything comes of it. Now I'm off to nudge Ed....

You around? I'm not liking the paranoia bandwagon at all but it's mainly because Renata started it, not because I don't think he's scum. Would she bus a fellow scum so late in the game?
You mentioned earlier in the game that you'd played with paranoia before, is he coming across as Townie to you besides the feather-ruffling with NAF?

It's hard for me to tell. I thought as scum he would have been more involved in the game than he's been -- particularly the first few days.

I find it hard to believe that the NAF-paranoia stuff on Day 2 was all fake.

I find the Ed claim extremely odd. The timing is odd. And his non-reaction to crazypunker earlier seems odd. It looks like if he were town, he would have claimed earlier and pushed for a crazypunker lynch. But if he is scum, what is his motivation for claiming now?

Yeah, I was curious about that too. If he's Town and has a governor power, he should at least have been somewhat suspicious of crazypunker on Day 3, or at least on Day 4 when crazy's ability was proven. I'm looking forward to seeing his reply.

It looks to me like Ed is pushing for a claim because the scum don't know who is killing them off. And it's suspicious that he can't protect himself. We can protect ourselves. I'm waiting to see who else chimes in that it's time for a mass claim...I'm expecting Renata to chime in at any minute. It doesn't look like the claim is to push us off the paranoia lynch since Ed is voting for him.
I don't have a clue how to make a case on Renata. After re-reading her posts again, I almost convinced myself that she's town. And I really don't know who the 6th scum might be. I do think we could make a case on Ed. Do you think it's worth trying that toDay?

I'm going with the easy option and want to get Hockey out of our way as I don't see scum killing her any time soon and I'd rather reserve our "policy kill" for crazypunker when we're needed to clear up the unknown pool... I'm travelling all next week and expect to have sufficient downtime to review the game. Let's kill Renata toNight. I'm leaning Total as another scum - look at her vote record: no vote Day 1, followed Renata with a vote on the almost lynch leader Day 2 (2nd vote on Hockey - who escaped the lynch at the last minute) and voted the lynchee Days 3 (4th vote), 4 (3rd vote) and 5 (5th vote). All her data dumps have been with little or no analysis or opinion, the only case she made was against metallic which she abandoned when it got little support... Problem is she has 96 posts in this game!!!

I might vote for a crazypunker lynch. I'm not sure he's scum, but it would clear up a few things.
Other more or less random thoughts...
My scum list is still Renata, Ed, and someone? crazypunker, Blockey, maybe brewha? I keep forgetting that brewha is in the game. He's been quiet after his one day in the spotlight. maybe paranoia? I was considering Total earlier also, but have been leaning away from her recently -- though I can't for the moment put my finger on the reason why.
I still don't understand why we don't have a detective since we have a godfather. Surely a detective would have claimed by now? Could brewha be a detective of some sort?
If the scum had a one-shot save from lynch, wouldn't they have used in on Mahaloth? If Ed is scum and I think he is, his claim is just total bologna. Ed has not made a single case this entire game. He has only persued story with the "I don't believe you. You are suspcious. You could be scum." statements. At least Renata tried to make some sort of case on story. Ed did have the brief skirmish with Mahaloth on N0, but with my scum blinders on that looks like blatant distancing.
It might be about time to switch over and start having you do the kills? The pool for us to hide in is getting smaller and I would be willing to bet that the scum already cleared you, but I am thinking that I might be on their short list.
I'm not sure what the result would be if I killed Renata and scum killed me. Would we both be dead? If our Renata kill would go through, then I should continue. If not then I think you should take over.
