here was a point a decent amount into my career where i had yet to cast a vote against a scumbuddy
pretty sure that's no longer true but i don't really remember any of my most recent scumgames
ok this is what i was getting at.
besides for nos you've only voted people who flipped; incidentally all of those people flipped town
and what i wanted to check is as scum if you really avoid pushing your partners like at all
if you're going to take this as an alignment indicative point, don't you think that's the kind of thing you should check rather than just taking my word for it? (and really only taking the first part of my word there)
this is part of my BOP thing with you - have you had towngames where you've never pushed scum in xylo?

like i agree it's not clearing but just like ... why
it's such a silly way to use switcheroo - shoshin did have a point that she could have theoretically used it the night before kokichi got lynched to get a townie lynched to get kokichi quicklynched in lylo to just win
i mean i think this whole time we've also been assuming that shoshin has been telling the truth about having switcheroo but if shoshin and gamma are both scum that isn't even necessarily true, is it?

i mean i asked you like a week ago if you could link your scumgames so that i could check it because picking out individual scumgames out of someone's list of topics is a pain; that's why i asked
i did it but the recent ones that i found you got replaced so idk if that's really indicative of anything or if i missed more recent ones

that's a fair point
i know i got fruit from gamma last night
i know that shoshin claims to have swapped me and her and tracked gamma to me
i know that gamma claims ot have given it to shoshin
the last two points could have theoretically made up for all i know
but then what did she do with it?
i guess you can say she never had it but like ... what did she do with all that gold?

tracking people each night? ascetic / self watch each night? both of these? not sure.
mainly my point is that when i got reminded of shoshin saying something about how we'd have to lynch you if we wanted to lynch her or the inverse or something it just got me thinking how great of a plan to fake that it'd be as scum. even if you scumclaimed you would still get someone else lynched.
yeah she wanted to lynch herself to lynch me - oh right that's why i believed it because that's a really really dumb thing to proposeif you don't have switcheroo
also honestly i think shoshin's most recent play (maybe even her play ever since around day 2 / 3) makes sense in the context of having some kind of strategy where even if you're scummy you still win - if i had that strategy then i would probably not really put in all that much effort because you just wouldn't even really need to. it might even be better to
not
put in effort to get people to scumread you and buy into the lie of switcheroo and then lynch your claimed "target"

i don't think scum honestly thinks they can mislynch you here. has anyone except shoshin at the start of the day even brought up you being scum?

she definitely proposed lynching herself to lynch me and not the other way around
lynching herself (without switcheroo) as scum in xylo is like ... not a smart thing to do and townspews me

shoshin + i think porkens
i think they might htink i'm lynchable because otherwise idk why i'm still alive
(although tbf i get left alive for xylo a lot more than i really should even when i'm hilariously not lynchable so /shrug)

interesting quote in the context of what i was talking about
so your theory is that she had to 'prove' that she had switcheroo and that's what happened last night
she either used it or she's scum with gamma (or both) in order for all the claims to make sense

the point i was trying to make was moreso the idea that "this game is already won if i'm scum" is a mindset consistent with the way shoshin has been playing

are you saying that voting herself was something that she actually planned on doing? i don't think that's actually the case.
ok i think you're town (or at least enough not to lynch you today) +
i'm happy i didnt lolhammer earlier (i was getting kinda close tbh)
mostly because the things you're saying enough rn are sufficiently nuanced + thought-provoking; your thoughts in the isos you've just linked are a lot more surface-level if that makes sense

although yes, that's also a very real motivation
as the game goes on scum!me just loses motivation to post, especially if i know i effectively won the game and that i've just got to go through the motions
i'm kinda wondering if she gets like that
i think i have to track down a scumgame from her
also the lack of WIM is just kinda ???? weird and nothing like prez
i also really, really, really hate that she isn't being forthcoming with reads and that she hasn't claimed and that i don't know what she's done w ith gacha
