Drain the Swamp mafia is NOT an affiliate of SoDope Mafia.

Well not with that attitude

##lynch vlady

Don't buy not knowing what finding Donny does.

I'm going to lynch vlady, not because I don't believe his claim, but in the chance we might get to take out Donny with him. Donny can't possibly be good, can he?

## Lynch Vlady

Hey scum team, this is when you scum slip and out Herm

Thought I already had a vote on him but just looked back and I don't

##lynch vlady

So I'm gonna post my reads because at the moment it feels like I'm living on borrowed times. I don't have any concrete scum reads, but hopefully this generates some end of day discussion - anything bolded is what I consider to be info already out there. I'm pretty unwilling right now to lynch anyone who is blue or green on this list.

Definite Town:
Badger - Town Mason
Sock - Town Mason
Angi - Town Shrink - She knew about the shrink role before it flipped so unquestionably town as far as I'm concerned.
DS - Town Roleblocker - The flavor behind his roleblock clears him.
Dyl - Town Mayor - I guess it's possible that he was lying about his role, but I doubt it. Curtis was willing to throw Nofo under the bus because he was afraid of the ability being used on him.

Leaning Town:
Zach - Given a 1-shot watching ability by inventor Night 1, watched Badger Night 2, saw Helios and the inventor visit. - He has been a pretty helpful town member, and was smart not to out the inventor when he had the intel. We don't know anything concrete about his role but I mostly trust him atm.
Ahoda - Silenced Day 2 - I don't like confirming people based on the fact that they are targeted by scum actions because there is a wifom component involved, but he's still giving me a townish read - there's still an appropriate amount of shitposting (if there wasn't any, I'd be suspicious as hell), but there's some legit scum hunting integrated.
Zersch - Claims that there is someone who is a member of town who can verify his role and faction. - I believe what he said about his role being verifiable, at least for now. Has been active.
TIB - Roleblocked by Trump Tweet Night 3 - Definitely my weakest town read in this section, but I believe the Trump Tweet block for him. I don't think he was under enough heat that it would be worth it for them to sacrifice a roleblock when they are already down in numbers, and I doubt they would have used a roleblock on Helios after his odd claim. And since we know DS didn't block the mafia roleblocker, those are the only two potential explanations I can come up with that would also allow for him to be maf.

Unsure:
Spin - Claims to have a confirmable role and alignment. - I think there's a pretty good chance he's telling the truth about being confirmable because that is a risky thing to lie about. But otherwise, I don't have much of a read on him at all.
Brian- Roleblocked by Trump Tweet Night 1. Didn't submit an action day 2. Might have been redirected last night? - Brian is always so hard to read in these games, at least for me. I am leaning towards believing him getting blocked by the Trump Tweet - there was one less kill that night, so I think he'd be hesitant to out his being blocked if he was mafia.
Jamie - Roleblocked by DS Night 2 - confirmed by DS (3 Kills) - I have a pretty strong town read on Jamie based on how he's been playing, but until there is anything concrete he will stay in my 'unsure' category. Mainly because I think he's very good at making himself look like town when he's mafia.
Timmah - Did not receive a role PM Night 1 - Very little information to go off of here. Timmah is a very capable scum player so I'm always on the lookout with him but he's done nothing that has come off as particularly town or particularly scummy to me.
Primate - I'm wavering on Primate, and there's no real info to go off of. I do think he's been scum hunting this game, which should be a point in his favor. But every time I develop a town read on him, he flips scum. So yeah, not sure at the moment.
Josh - I don't think there's any intel that we really have on him. He's been more active today than in previous days, so hopefully that will help me get a read on him.

Leaning Scum:
Vlady - Roleblocked by DS Night 1 - Confirmed by DS (2 kills), Redirected night 2, Claims Survivor/Searching role. - I'd rather be able to hit actual maf than Vlady today, but Survivor is still third party so got to include him here. His role sounds kinda like a Survivor that turns maf if he finds Trump. But siding with maf would be really dumb for a Survivor right now, I think. If he was willing to not use his ability, and someone else comes up who is suspicious, I would rather lynch the other person.
Mercator - He hasn't been doing anything particularly scummy, but he's been pretty quiet I did get the impression that he has been actively trying to blend in at times. I don't think we know any information about him or anything that has happened to him all game, do we?
Farlig - Another person who I think we have no concrete information on. DS thinks he's town, and I do actually kinda trust DS's read on him, because they know each other way better than I know either of them. But still keeping him here because my gut says he's come off as pretty hostile at times that felt out of place.
Herm - Roleblocked by Trump Tweet Night 2 (3 Kills) - I'm having a tough time believing that Herm was blocked by maf night 2. He was facing a lot of heat in the day thread, so he felt like a pretty likely vig kill at the end of day. And mafia generally doesn't want to block people who are likely to die. He also desperately needed town cred at the time, which getting blocked by mafia offers him.

I think the only one dying here is Vlady.

They can't out someone who is not on their team.

I don't think Vlady's claim is enough of an excuse that we should stop being diligent in our scum hunting folks. I'd much rather hit actual maf than him, if we are able to use our time constructively and figure some shit out.

Merc and Farlig are def scum material.

Thanks for all the reads. It's super useful for town. I wish I had the time to do all that, but my list would probably be something like: DS is annoying, and I don't really have a read on half the group.

As for your note on me, if I were to claim, I'm pretty sure you'd move me into the green group. I'd rather not out my role yet, but it'd be next to impossible for my role to be a scum role.

## lynch Merc

I can confirm Zersch.

No need to pile on Vlady, and Merc/Farlig are good alternatives for scum.

Darren Sanders @ 1/5/2017 16:37

I can confirm Zersch.

I don't want you to out more than you have to, but I'm confused on how a roleblocker can confirm the alignment of another player.

##Lynch Merc

Not necessarily gonna stay on this til the end of the day, but I'd like some pressure there.
