Before going back to last night's posts, let me address the matter of JB's role claim and why it makes no sense for a townie PR to make such a claim.
There is, indeed, very good reason right now to jump in with a false role claim. This also confirms in my mind that we were on the right track suspecting Ogre.
Win condition for the mafia... they win as soon as all the physicists are dead. They don't have to wait until half the town is gone.
I can also see the logic behind the scum side pulling a stunt like this. They already knew the town would lynch Ogre once we found out Zsand was innocent. There are 3 communicating mafia who must feel they can't afford to lose another teammate after losing HN on Day 1.
We're in the gunslinger format now, so a premature shot taken by the shooter based on yet another "new theory" pushed to convince them to shoot first and ask questions later will divert us away from Ogre and misdirect the shooter. Otherwise the shooter is likely to just kill Ogre because that's who we almost chose to lynch instead of Zsand.
All they have to do is pick any townie who's not been talked about much yet and urge the shooter to hurry up with their shot before the rest of the town has time to examine the proposed claim and post their input.
The end result... the mafia manages to avoid Ogre's lynch. Then the townie gunslinger makes the wrong choice and dies as a result instead.
With that shot taken, nightfall also comes faster than anyone expected and Pappy's time vortex kicks in again to take us to some other game format for Day #5. That gives them 48 hours to distract the town and (again) come up with another innocent townie to divert the town's attention away from who we would have otherwise gone after next.
