And I really can't think of anyone to be scum because we already have two independents (Maniacal Engineer and Phagocyte) who are out of the game.
I'm aware of the independents. If there were no scum left then the game would be over. Since the game is not over, that means that there are scum left.
So are you saying that you trust the Astronomer part but not the BP?
Why would a 2nd BP be unbelievable? Who says jd's BP isn't fake? Who says The Light's BP isn't fake?
These are all questions that must be answered to solve this. So far, I'm believing Light's claim, it can easily be proven. Flavourwise it does indeed fit with SM games. I could see something going for being the hot new game who wants all the attention for himself.
Yes, I think the Astronomer part is valid. However, I don't think it's necessarily alignment-indicative because it can be used both ways; skipping a night phase typically hurts the mafia, but skipping the day phase typically hurts the town. The BP I am more skeptical of setup-wise, it's not very balanced to give town a lot of BPs when there's no SK in the game. There could be a Vigilante, but still.
It's possible either BP could be fake, but I am more willing to trust JD's claim because of its immediacy following the lack of a nightkill. I've said this before.
With regards to the neighbor situation, I said this earlier too.
It's kind of WIFOM-y but I don't think that Pika would include another scum in his neighborhood, since the goal of Mafia Neighborizer IMO is to act as close to a mason as they can and gain town trust that way.
This would lead then to MegaPod and JD being town.
