I don't know how much I can add to the discussion at the moment. There really isn't a whole lot to say until we get some true confirmation via death and card flips. There are a few things hanging in the air that seem disturbing (to me). I really hope that that I'm not giving the Scum any ammunition by asking these questions or raising these issues.

Here are the thoughts that are bouncing around my skull:

1. In Post #43, Romola suggests that the Scum may have banked their kill or brought forward a kill from a future date. I am not at all sure that would be possible, since it could lead to too many issues and "impossible timelines". For example, say the Scum did as Romola said and killed Bill using a kill from Night 6. The kill goes through and Bill is killed. We know Bill is dead (and not in some sort of limbo) because Hypnagogic said in Post #10 that Bill is so dead he can join the spoiler board if he wishes.

However, for argument's sake, let's say that the Scum killer is blocked on Night 6. Thus, the kill would not have gone through, and, theoretically, Bill would be alive. He certainly couldn't rejoin the game if he had already been spoiled. Even if he hadn't been spoiled, he had not participated for several days, and who knows how the game would have gone if he had still been around?

Thus, I think there are too many problems with Scum being able to bring forth a kill from the future.

2. Regarding Lucifer, I think that D3 seems a little late to try to be subbed. I know life happens, but it still sucks.

In this particular game, he could just as easily throw down his remaining votes by pulling them from the future. If the timelines resolve and the votes go through, then Yay! If the timelines don't resolve, then no harm, no foul. In other words, he can still be useful, even if he isn't able to participate.

Sorry. I have more to say, but my grandkids just got up and I need to get them settled in front of the Wii. I'll be back later this morning to continue my thoughts.
