Before reading tutu's magnum opus, here's a collected list of claims. I haven't been posting it in case scum were lazy, but like...look at this shit.
Alison: Odd night doc/even night tracker
Amy: odd post addition/even post subtraction plus same flavor check
Benson: x-shot doc, at least two
Colin: full tracker
Dizzy: one shot full rolecard check
Rabbit: unclaimable
LC: BP
Nanook: one shot day vig
Nutella: one shot 80% loyal janitored vig
Proto: one shot [action track? Voyeur? I don't even know how to describe it lmao] with a parity check between target and target's target
Hally: Full redirector (if redirecting mafia to mafia fails, which makes it almost a parity check with 2+ mafia alive)
Tim: unreliable inventor
Tutuu: flavor cop, tantamount to full cop after one maf dies
Werewolf hunter: vote thief
Look at that shit. Like fuck dude...that's so much town power.
So assuming that one wolf is alive, and thus only one claim isn't real, I think it's safe to assume that scum at some point in time had AT LEAST one method of protection, and something to fool checks with (godfather or redirector). Potentially a role cop of some sort of their own as well.
I *think* that, looking at this, completely removing reads and purely thinking about this mechanically, the claims that make the most sense to potentially contain mafia are, unordered...iaafr obviously for claiming unclaimable...Colin (a tracker is not terrible cover for a block of some sort imo)...Hally, cause a redirector makes some amount of sense for mafia to have with the town KP and checking ability...one of Amy/Proto cause there's already a lot of checking power...LC for the vest...and Benson for the doc.
Narrowing it down with actions taken, if there's one mafia alive then Colin is just town...if there's two mafia alive then Nutella is one of them almost certainly, meaning that Colin would have to not carry the KP in a Colin/Nutella world which seems...questionable? So pretty much just ready to accept Colin as town, I think. There is an edge world where Hally and Colin are mafia that NKed LC but like...why. So yeah, taking Colin out of consideration for now.
Iaafr and Amy can't really be taken out for night action reasons, rabbit for obvious reasons and Amy cause her targets are like...fine, but also, like, the fact she hasn't claimed before anyone makes her thing super easy to fake. So she stays in the pool. Hally can't be entirely taken out based on night actions either imo, her N2 redirect away from herself is exactly what scumHally would have to do*, but N1 makes a scumHally world kind of complicated so less likely imo.
If LC is mafia it likely means mafia had a day use rolecop that hit townVig radishes, Nutella killed him and cleaned his flip, and townHally redirected his shot to LC popping his vest...right? That's uh...not super likely, kek. So discarding LC for the time being.
Which leaves Proto...a weird claim that is fairly easy to fake, is a one shot, and happened to hit one of two people we know for sure didn't go anywhere N1 (myself and LC--I think rabbit indicated they don't travel, but I don't remember for sure). So yeah, stays in.
So yeah, based on mechanics, I'm probably looking at something like Benson/Amy/Proto/rabbit, I think. Including reads, I'd say I'm most interested in Amy (who has been meh to null for me) and Proto (whose burst of activity/"solving" also aligned with him getting pushed, could be coincidence, but certainly doesn't make me want to TR him which some seem to want to based off that activity....which is pretty ???? for me given he literally has to come in and fight if he's mafia).
Now I'll move on to tutu's plan.
*note that this isn't a scumread, I'm ignoring reads for other reasons here and focusing strictly on who can be mechanically removed or close to. This applies to everyone else too, Hally just yells more
