Sooo, ok, the longer version. First off my general ideas for scum right now.
My first general assumption is about the distribution of alignment. AFAIK roles get usually rolled but since we have only a small number of initial players and almost half of them newbs, I expect that the scum distribution is somewhat not random. As in you want to avoid situation where all scums are either newbs that face off a mass of town vets or all scums vets, which leads probably to a heavily one-sided endgame. So it's highly likely that scum has both newbs and vets.
Right now we have 5 newbs, 2 vets and 2 high profile vets left.
For me there are 2 possible newbs left as suspects, Byzantine and Hobo.
Oshha seems very much town to me.
Meso gets another big town cred. The day 1 mess would have either to be genuine or a brilliant stunt. And for a stunt it would have been rather risky, way too risky for me to be believable.
IH gets null from me for now. TBH I have to reread him again to be sure.
Byz doesn't look good. What I pointed at earlier is this.
I tend to think Ossha is town, just based on them taking Dawiusz slot.
Does that still hold up, knowing Rosen is town?
I think so. I just thought he played like a new townie. Not to put too fine a point on it, but he didn't seem like someone being guided by a team.
I'm in agreement on that. Now considrr him being paired with perenially inactive QT and another noob.
Up till now Byz tried an upfront approach. He clearly stated his suspicions directly. This here is a more underhanded approach. He tries to steer Meso onto an Oshha lynch, trying to force his narrative of an Oshha & QT team.
But he doesn't vote for him at that point, just trying to raise suspicions in others.
Meanwhile he's continually voting for my towncore. I could understand lynching Meso but Daw rather clearly showed being vanilla.
So I'm pretty sure Byz is definitely not VT. I'm rather going with scum than with any power role at this time.
About his scum partners... right now I suspect 1k and Nictis.
LDJ and QT left a better impression on me, with Byz shading QT what felt too hard to be shading.
Mind, this part is rather weak right now.
