    It means that the guilty parties may not be as obvious as looking on that page, so I would guess the Scum team to still be complete, and Beefy's claim (now Skooma) of Petronius, may be credible.
    There are gaps in the logic here that really quite bother me.

    1. My role is described as exiled on trumped up charges. In other words, not guilty. The role should NOT be mafia. So how do you get from there to,
    2. The guilty parties might not be obvious. Hmm? So far not a single player killed by the mafia has had a role that according to the conspiracy is likely to be mafia. In other words, you've just drawn a conclusion that bears no relation to the evidence used to support it. (And used that unsupported conclusion to support Skooma's innocence despite his claimed name, might I add.)
    3. You would "guess" the scum team to still be complete. Because the guilty parties might not be obvious. What? As I said above we haven't lynched anyone with an obvious scum name. The night deaths obviously aren't scum. The conclusion should be that IF the guilty parties are obvious, then the scum team is still complete. But you're arguing the exact opposite. The guilty parties might not be obvious (which in and of itself is unsupported), therefore the scum team is probably still complete. The road from your premise to your conclusion goes right over a cliff.

    You're better than posting a bunch of word-salad when you're trying to draw conclusions, Romanic.

    This whole post is a mess of non-logic. Not one of its conclusions is supported by the premise given. I suspect the three "conclusions" could be true (or not; regardless it's not important right now):
    -- the guilty party's names are not necessarily obvious
    -- Skooma is innocent
    -- the scum team is still complete

    but you sure didn't draw those conclusions the way you said you did. Either you already know the answers (in other words, you're scum) and are just slapping together a bunch of words to make yourself look useful; or you already know the answers (in other words, you're scum) and are manipulating the conclusions to promote your cause (in other words, Skooma is also scum*). I'm leaning the first at the moment, but that's not really important right now. What's important is if you didn't know the answers (in other words, if you were town), you'd never cobble together such a hackery as that.

    I'm also dubious of Warman (for the reason Pizza states) and of Pizza (partially for Winston's reasons, partially instinct), but right now I'd prefer a lynch of Romanic.


    *Actually this isn't the only possible cause-promotion Romanic could be involved in. He could be trying to cover for Lord of Lent or another lynched player having been mafia ("the scum team is still complete") or for the "bad" name of another non-Skooma conspirator.
