Errr... Yes? How could you forget that Monty had claimed a 1-shot roleblocker?
Anyway, let's move on. The following is a bit rambly but I'll just dump some thoughts.

SeveringViper came out of the gate today seeming frustrated, and I don't think scum have reason to be frustrated at this point. Monty's play today has been towny.

One possible source of frustration for scum is if their N3 kill was blocked. I've been suspecting that BSmith was a vig kill, seems like a good play for a vig to get rid of a lurker. It seems others have had the same thought since they're inquiring about poisoners. Apparently the flavor supports this being a mafia kill though? I'm not into Pokemon. SV apparently did not have that thought, he didn't link Monty being blocked on N3 with mafia possibly missing a kill. I wanted to hear his reasoning for blocking Monty because I think it had very little chance of blocking a scum kill anyway, since Monty would probably not be doing the killing if he was scum, given the amount of heat he took on D3.

In short, if someone did vig BSmith I think it would be beneficial to claim that ASAP. I'm currently assuming that he was not vigged.
If BSmith was indeed the mafia night kill I think that points to multiple scum being of the active persuasion. By killing a lurker we have fewer lurkers to choose between when lynching, but just as many active players as before.

I think it makes sense to speculate on teams at this point.

Regarding Zack, the case on Monty yesterday and on Viper today is the kind of case I like to pursue myself, and you can really get going picking apart the responses of the accused. I've mislynched many people with cases like this though. Some people just aren't good at defending even when town, or are too stubborn, or fail to see problems with their own play. I guess what I'm saying is that if Monty and Viper are town, which I find very possible, we're really making things easy for scum!Zack, and I'm a bit concerned that he just keeps pushing instead of seeing things from all sides.
