I think what we're overlooking is that Wallz' renamed flavor doesn't really seem to fit what we've seen so far. They've all been rather generally descriptive of the character and not particularly related to the role. Unsuccessful businessman is confirmed. Average Joes, Naive Neighbor and Old Man are claimed. Those 4 are all attached to vanilla sure, but the thing linking them is that they really just generally address the character itself and don't tie into the vanilla-ness.
And then we have "Kidnapper" for Fat Tony? With a role that just happens to closely match what a Scum Kidnapper might do?
I could see scum day 1 thinking "we know the flavor split is Simpsons vs the rest, but we could get someone to claim a flavor they believe is miller-ish because it's a literal mafia member" and then tying themselves to that Fat Tony role (despite actually being a Simpson). And then they learn that town roles are all renamed, but what luck! Fat Tony is an actual criminal so you can just say 'sure he probably kidnaps people, we'll say the renamed role is kidnapper!'.
But wouldn't a more fitting rename for Fat Tony have just been "Mob Boss" or "Mafiaso"? Or something that fits the trend of generally describing the character? It would be our first instance of the renamed role actually describing the role and I for one am not sold.
This goes against the good credit I wanted to give wallz for participating in the Ctes lynch, but what he is claiming is functionally out of sync with what we currently know about renamed roles and is a conceivably logical attempt to have been made by a scum team that was aware of the flavor split but not aware of the renamed roles.
##Vote: Wallz
(P.S. Why does this topic show me having a previous vote down on Death? I never voted Death, but I previously voted Ulti before later unvoting)
Didn't he say it was mob boss day 1?
