I should also note before I start, we need to go ahead and hypocop if we plan to do that before we forget, and I'd rather someone else handled that since I'm not expecting to be around much this weekend.
Okay, where to start? I don't think the three of them are in cahoots, so odds are 1, 2 or all three of them are townies, not zero. There are a lot of peculiarities here that draw my eye.
1) There's still the improbability of the gender assignments, and Yuna had a character-specific role, not a random gal plucked out of the bag to avoid pronoun confusion. Beet asked and answered the gender question first, and non-visibly, Yuna second and DK third.
2) FT has claimed Odysseus, Beetnemesis claims to know Odysseus, and there's a very short list of female character to match that, one of them also matches up to one of DK's also short list of viable options, and DK said she knew of her character and Beet said his was well-known. Can't say for sure DK's is well-known, she might be a Greek mythology buff, but that seems indicated and thus far they've all been pretty major that we know of.
3) Beet is now pushing toward DK on the 'Bad Girls' hypothesis, and FT backed it strongly. Not super-strong, a first vote from FT is more common than from anyone else except maybe me, and on the other hand, almost everyone he's voted first for has died that day, so it's not exactly a light prod either.
4) Not too related, but FT's Author question was non-obvious, almost makes me wonder if he's out for revenge on Homer or something.
5) The claim itself, it is not like FT to reveal info on day 1 about himself except under pressure, except for the Miller Claim in Gher's game which presumably didn't encourage future reveals. Why claim as Odysseus? Was it just because Beet had claimed to know him shortly before that? I can't see him just revealing that without a motive
6) Isn't it odd that FT-Odysseus, who with the exception of his wife usually had very bad times from women, seems more suspicious of the person who claims an era before his as opposed to the person who outright claims to have interacted with him?
So, none of this is actually 'suspicious', and pretty much any alignment combination is possible besides it being unlikely DK is scummer allied to any of them, but there's too many peculiarities here and I'm inclined to think that character claims by Beet and DK might answer them, it also seems like we're headed that way anyway, pressure's on DK but if she reveals we'll obviously make Beet reveal too unless hers just screams evil-bad, so while I make no demand for character reveals at this time - and this is genuinely not an accusation at any of them - I do feel character claims by both now are the best way to proceed. I feel pretty strongly something is afoot here, and I feel FT doesn't really have anything left to reveal that strikes me as both pertinent and safe to reveal or likely to be willing and truthfully revealed, so no real questions for him, though if he can offer any alternate light on the points I raised I'd appreciate it. Again, this doesn't so much scream 'scum' as 'odd', so I think we should clear it up now if possible.
