I doubt that prplhz or Palmar would suddenly gain a bus driver ability in addition to their KP. Pretty much the only role where it really makes sense is if it replaces one of the (for Mafia) useless JOAT powers.

Dunno. This game seems to hardly make any sense. I guess there's something huge we're missing... But I somehow can't picture how gumshoe could be scum with his Veteran role.

+1 vest and kill the first guy that visits you is what is required for that. I think it's very likely marv roleblocked him, and it would've taken precedence over a vig visiting as per the role list.

Setup

+ Show Spoiler +
This is a semi-open setup for 12 players. There will be either 9 Town and 3 scum or 9 Town, 2 Scum and 1 Third Party Survivor. At the start of Day 1 all players will receive the one of the following PMs:
Vanilla Townie
You are a Vanilla Townie. You have no special powers other than your vote as of yet. At the end of Day 1 you may receive a new role pm if you successfully draft a new role. You win when there are no more remaining Mafia players.

Mafia Goon
You are a Mafia Goon. You have no special powers other than your vote as of yet. At the end of Day 1 you may receive a new role pm if you successfully draft a new role. You win the game when Mafia players equal or outnumber the Town and/or Third Party players remaining in the game.

Third Party Survivor
You are a vanilla Third Party Survivor. You receive an extra bulletproof vest to absorbs the first KP which targets you (this works against factional KP). Otherwise, you have no special powers other than your vote as of yet. At the end of Day 1 you may receive a new role. If you survive until End Game, then you win the game alongside Town or Scum.

Please stop making terrible assumptions.

You saw Austinmcc's role right? It doesn't suggest that either you are correct or I am correct, it implies either explanation is likely

Yes, but they didn't START with the role. It was in the rolecop role that they could get with PYP.

True: I jailed Marvellosity.
True: RBer takes precedence over jailing.
Likely: Marvellosity RBed Gumshoe.
Plausible: The person that Marv visited killed him
Plausible: A scum veteran role could turn into a PGO-like role as it makes sense for the flavour of the role

With how you thought scum could start with roles and thought you could use more than one role, I really don't think you're in a position to make things clear to us LSB.

Perhaps only the first person that visits him dies. It makes sense as Marv's action takes precedence over a vig shot.

It has to be Gumshoe because LSB has made so many wrongful assumptions AND didn't want to lynch Gumshoe whom is like the only realistic lynch other than him. Also makes sense with the Austin hard defend. Gumshoe has no reason to be town other than night actions and I've found a reasonable narrative for him to be scum even with the night actions so get on him.

So you assume three things for Gumshoe to be mafia.

1) Marv RBed Gumshoe - Most likely
2) Gumshoe has extra Lives / immune to night KP - on top of vet, really?
3) Gumshoe has a PGO ability that only targets the first person that visits him at night - Okay this is just getting silly

For anyone else to be mafia, they would need a bus drive ability. Just one assumption.

I'm trying to wrap my head around if this a good WIFOM plan by LSB or if he's simply town. There are several things that point to town:

1) Clear belief that I would return green if I checked him
2) Unwillingness to lynch the easiest possible mislynch
3) Wrong assumptions about how the Mafia roles would work

I have to admit that LSB is doing a good job of playing innocent if he's scum.

You have to look at the flavour of the role too. A detective isn't suddenly going to get KP when they're scum. Survivability abilities for a veteran role make sense. A busdrive ability for an assassin makes no sense. You have to look at abilities within their role type. No way is a dayvig or an assassin going to have a busdrive ability.

A veteran scum getting two extra abilities is more reasonable to me than the alternative. And if we look at the actual play, Gumshoe is the only player in the game that has no reason to be town.

I do agree that this is a far-fetched theory. But it's also quite far-fetched that Palmar or prplhz would receive a bus driving ability on top of their already powerful KP roles.... And they're also otherwise towny. That would really just leave you.
