This is getting more and more confusing: Any more roles care to step up?
So Montmorency claims to be a scanner.
ATPG claims to have had a role, not really sure what kind of role, and he's dead. So at least the Mafia must have known.
So assuming Montmorency is a real scanner: The Mafia decided that the role of ATPG was more dangerous to them than Montmorency and decided to go after ATPG. If somebody has more information on ATPGs role that would warrant this, I'd be interested to hear this. Montmorency not being attacked does not really add to his credibility, on first sight, but it might be intentional misdirection by the Mafia.
That's my initial outlook, before the shenanigans of today. Sooh was apparently scanned by Montmorency to be Mafia. But now there's the claim of a Spoofer being around. This person would be either GH or Myrddraal, I guess? They would have the ability to change scan results, if they know that someone else (Montmorency) is scanning the same target. The false scan result would lead to wrong lynches by town. Most telling, Montmorency doesn't even believe in his own ability.
I have three working theories to base my lynch on:
1. Montmorency is a scanner, his scan results are reliable: Sooh is Mafia. So was edse before.
2. Montmorency is a scanner, there is a scan spoofer. His scan results are not reliable. Sooh is not Mafia. Someone is spoofing Montmorency. The suspicion lies on GH and Myrddraal. They both have good arguments against it. Myrddraal has known about Kage and he lived until Night 3 (or 4?). GH has been inactive at first and has become more and more active. For this scenario to be true, Myrddraal and GH would have had to play for the long game from day one. They could have kept Kage around to further their alibi. We don't know how the Mafia actually found out about Kages role, so it might have been Myrddraal all along, who betrayed him. The town trusts them and we now play along to their tune to our demise. Very risky, very clever.
3. Montomrency is not a scanner. He just made that up last turn, so he wouldn't get lynched. Worked like a charm too.
In case 1 there is only Sooh left as the last Mafia. In case 2 and 3 there's still two Mafia out there. They only put one into the writeup last night, to foster a false sense of security among the town. Maybe the second Mafia was busy spoofing scan results, who knows?
So if case 1 is right, we kill Sooh and the game is over. Town wins, everybody is happy. Case 2 or 3 there's still Mafia on the loose, we only have partial leads, everything is a confusing mess.
So Vote: Sooh.
Eliminate the easy option. I'll revisit the other options if there's another day phase. It will be confusing and I'm not looking forward to it.
