We should assume three people are scum. Not really because of that post, merely because it's viable and safer to base our assumptions on that.

      I null Watee off the claim. My role PM was the same kind of shotty that Waters is. But I don’t get why Utah is being slept on is my concern. FoS on Water
What do you mean being slept on? It was all that was talked about before you made this post lol.

      Actually lol I kinda dislike waters claim a lot because he didn’t immediately claim the SOP. He went to char then affiliation. I don’t like that, he’s slight scum
Um... You ever seen a scum miller?

Sorry I just got to work, and am catching up now. I didn't see this claim. I am also Idaho. I am beloved princess, basically because my state's nature and scenery is beautiful and unparalleled to any other state. What is your role?

      We've identified our first scum due to counter claim. Either Croc or Lunatic.

And no, but I don't rule it out. Water is a noob. He could be doing that strategy

    Lunatic is scum if Croc is lynched

No offense to water, but what about his scum play makes you think he is capable of big strategies like that? They played the last game way safe and basically gave up when bullish copped them. I had to convince them to try and that's the only reason they ended up trying to CC. I am sorry, but water is hella town.
3 votes is enough for now. I'd still like crocs claim and some discussion this day phase. No reason to rush it. More content will help investigative roles decide who to be on tonight.
    I will admit, I don't understand why scum would bother to fake claim a state (doubly so without pressure to claim). There's 50 to choose from, and none of them seem overtly evil.
It's hypothetically possible Warren would do a bastard setup of assigning the same state to two people, but were he to do that, I would expect it to be some type of comedic divide, like Eastern vs Western California.

I assumed bastard to mean just warrena participation in his own gane. But if he also meant that bastard implied doing bastardly things like putting multiple of the same state into the game there could be potential other CCs waiting to happen. A mass claim could potentially save us a mislynch here. Though bastard could also imply it was done only once. Who knows.

Not even New Jersey?
 Eastern vs Western California...wah?
My instinct is to believe Croc and sus TUF

    That CC was made awkward as hell by the fact that croc initially claimed for no reason whatsoever.

      Why did you claim in the first place? Also now would be a really good time to role claim since you got countered...

      Do you think warren actually bastardized the game other than his own participation? If so what do you think of the potential that there could be other CC's? What are your thoughts on a mass claim?

The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw that CC was that maybe Warren gave scum a safe claim that was not actually safe, which would explain why crocodile claimed for no reason (can't think of any other reason for someone to do that). Now that I think about it I am not so sure but in answer to your question I think that would at least be more likely than something like giving the same  state to multiple people.

      As far as mass claiming goes I don't want to just now. We obviously have scum between you and crocodile (I am leaning croc until he explains that weird random character claim and also role claims) and would prefer to focus our efforts on that for now.

      Hmm... You may be right. That said, is there a specific harm in popcorn claiming? Any reason to think a certain state might be a power role, or mafia? just to cross our T's and Dot our I's?
