Associations work both ways. This gave a ripe opportunity to form a SR-Shoshin association which I was pushing, given SR said the right things to make it look like it was planned.

consider the possibility at one point - that SR was ignoring my slot to create a fake association - that was actually the angle I was planning on pushing before, too. 
About the preferences thing - I actually didn't completely mean to not bus SR, I was totally ready - in my mind I was trying to play to your "Auro HAS to want to lynch Chennisden on D5" perception. In my mind, if I hadn't mentioned that preference, you would've picked up on any direct bussing plays I could've attempted. ("Why did Auro unexpectedly leave Chennisden and push SR? Oh, might be bussing") so I was locked in to that position
I wouldn't need to take you and Shoshin out if my hypothetical Appeal to Alonzo via efforting worked out, and if I managed to get him to lay a vote on Shoshin. A plan to endgame where both teammates die was impossible, my best bet was to try my hardest to get Alonzo to mis-vote.
