Finally you get there.
I've been thinking this since the moment Vedith flipped town.
Yes, I admit I've had some paranoia about your slot, but I don't really have a strong reason to suspect you outside of you self-nominating as scum to try and make yourself look more towny. Suffice to say, if you are scum and that was the goal.... the plan clearly backfired. Which is another reason why it's highly unlikely that you are scum at this point.
But objectively, the nomination lists make a lot more sense from scum!Auro's perspective than scum!Shoshin's perspective (this is why I thought if you were scum you were scum with Auro -- you being scum makes a lot less sense if Auro is town). From Auro's point of view, the three strongest players/threats to him would be you, Irrelephant, and I. I am a threat to him because of our history together, Irrelephant was a threat to him because they have some history together, and you are a threat to him because of your reputation as a strong town player. By nominating the three of us, it was a 100% guarantee that he would take out one of the three greatest threats to him.
The idea with the second nomination list was to make it look like scum "realized their mistake" by nominating three townies in the first nomination list and decided to self-nominate in the second nomination list. This is why the "consensus" was that the second nomination list of {Shoshin, Vedith, Chennisden} was not all-town, a viewpoint that Auro strongly encouraged. When in reality both nomination lists were almost certainly both all-town if Auro is scum. The plan, quite simply, was to setup Vedith and Chennisden as back-to-back misylnches (as I explained in post
2605). You messed that plan up when you started your 1vs1 against Scumreading.
