I think the game is still finely balanced. Given the link splits, it looks like it is effectively a 9 town and 3 scum game, possibly slightly balanced to the town, given they have a doc and two masons against what is now vanilla scum. the play of info could now be very interesting as there should be enough ways for the scum to construct false claims to hide for a while.

Ah well, I had hoped to make one final post before day end, but got side tracked with work.
Colby definitely knew too much about gadgets -- kinda ironic I was linked to him as I've killed or led the lynch against him in the last 3 games. Mitch and Pollux both seemed to know more than they were letting on, but seem pro town. Sinjin and Story look most scummy
I see from the spoilers I was right about those folk - c'est la vie

Anyone else think colby will have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow.
According to his Night action, he is passing the Duplicator to PWIAG. Not using it on him, passing it to him.

He'll be lucky if he can explain his way out of it They should figure out that he is no longer linked, since I'm dead, and is thus a safe lynch

True, but colby11 really needs to convince them he is not scum and hopefully the town will remember their wincons.
If they lynch him again, it would be a waste.

and on such things games are won and lost.
colby11 said he wanted to pass the duplicator to PWIAG, so he did. It looks like he meant use the duplicator on PWIAG.
Even after I tried to confirm it in PM.
Oops.

Indeed, and his explanation has got more holes than swiss cheese - it will take a miracle for him not to be lynched today I essentially haven't read much of anything since Day Two, though I've read enough to know that the intended lynch target from yesterDay did not die, one of the most effective Town players in our little world did, and the former has claimed some form of responsibility for the latter. I would have voted Story for this - it's beautifully subtle in painting Colby in the worst possible way.

Well, mitchy's latest comment makes me not very hopeful for the town in pulling this off. With all the collars delinked, colby and Lightfoot will probably get the majority of attention over the next two Days. Unless there's a major slip I think the scum will coast easy on this one.

The collars aren't all delinked. There are still two outstanding pairs remaining, of which the scum know about one and will probably hit it tonight, unless moodymitchy gets there first.

I feel sorry for colby11. I'm still waiting to see what PWIAG says seeing as he now has the duplicator.
And no-one has mentioned the fact that BillMc said his gadget would be passed on despite his death. Ho Hum.

From Special Ed.
Dear face, meet egg.
Has it actually come to the point, where despite what it says in a wincon, that 3rd parties are never going to get a break?
And where did Scum Scotsman come from anyway?

Has there ever been a scum scotsman? Like, in the history of the games we've played (that I remember) I think a scotsman has always been town or third-party oriented, yet every time there is one people always suspect they're scum.

Like, in the history of the games we've played (that I remember) I think a scotsman has always been town or third-party oriented, yet every time there is one people always suspect they're scum. Read Super Mario Brothers. Sinjin was scum scotsman. It's really interesting the day when I as uncounterclaimed detective with a large list of confirmed vanilla townies (and who found two of the 3rd parties as well) actually had to defend myself against her who I thought was scum (I never investigated a single scum that game) the day she came back from the dead. The cycle before was a cycle where all roles were scrambled. Two of my confirmed vanillas ended up as scum. That night, we had them kill Sinjin who was a vanilla for that cycle. I had been on her case for at least a cycle before that as a scotsman who couldn't be confirmed as town upon death and therefore a useless role. (On a side note, I was a Mason that cycle, which was a third party steal the win from town under certain conditions or win with town otherwise role. There was only one mason left in the game--KidV--and I believe he got scrambled into vanilla town for that cycle.) So after our new scum allies killed Sinjin in her powerless form, Idle determined that her power activated at Dawn, when everyone returned to their former roles, so she came back and we had our posting sparring match for that entire Day. And before SMB, there was Skrull planet, where a scum was given a one-shot stop any lynch power. And we've had scum doctors. And one of the minis had a scum scotsman as well. And these were all Idlemafia games. So it's not without precedent even keeping things to this board.

I'll concede the other lynch-stopping/doctor mechanisms have been in favor of scum as well, but Ed is focusing on the fact that colby's a scum scotsman, which I find to be generally improbable in most games, and especially with this setup. It's really interesting that nobody's discussing the possible balancing issues of having a scum scotsman connected to a town via link.

It seems unfortunate that, that experience and Idle Thoughts in Conspiracy mean Scotsman are unlikely to be trusted ever again.
What is making me chuckle is that I specifically made the Blue Team wincon to be against the red team and not all threats to the blue team. But they are still going to go ahead and mislynch, giving the scum a free hit at night.
