I think Pops' death was
slightly
shocking for scum. Not in a sense that they didn't prep for it, rather Pops was living off borrowed time. I believe they saved face by voting pops even if they didn't really want to. Despite this, I think Pops didn't really fight the opposition but I believe she hoped people would stop paying attention to her and that Eddie/Krazy continued to bicker with one another. That wasn't the case however because I replaced in, so lemme just say that I'm pretty sure my unvote and wavering of Eddie was a huge reason Pops died anyways. It doesn't matter if there is mumbling in the room until something is actually done. I am not going to sit here and take credit for this rather I just think scum were really banking on those two (I guess me) from cutting each other's heads off.
I glanced back at the votecounts a bit and I see that Pops / Eddie were at the forefront in terms of majority by vote. Starting at #1761, Pops/Eddie were basically shuffling between one another in this majority. I noticed that Pine had a huge following as well before this but I assume something happened (probably with Krazy) that shifted the direction of the game slightly. This is where I think the wheels start turning for scum, and while Pops started to move into survivalist mode, I don't think they really wanted to lose her. I see an argument made that Pops was certain my slot town therefore there is association by that, but I know that if I'm scum I don't want my associatives touching shoulders with me. I've fallen victim to her crooning before (ask NaCL about this lol) so I think even if I'm the one speaking on Krazy's behalf that point is basically moot given Pops in both games I've been town and she's been scum has a tendency to soften up people to fight battles for her. That didnt happen however, Krazy replaced out. The game did a soft reset and I don't think Pops' mates felt like they could carry her to the finish line so they saved face. This is a huge roundabout way of me just reaffirming my thoughts earlier with context. I also got a bit of help from one of my teammates who told me to look especially at #2477 and #2582. He explained that people started to unvote Pine as Pops/Eddie gained momentum. I think the idea that Pine died to incriminate people is foolhardy, if anything they want to proceed with the false narrative based on the how the wagons formed.
--This is where I swallow my pride and engage my teammate for help--
Am I saying all members of scum just hopped right onto Pops without thinking about it? Definitely not. My teammate thinks that it would best to look at those who didn't move at the time, as scum exercise caution in ways that benefit them. I again believe Pops' death was not explicitly planned and more of saving face. My teammate believes Pops/Hectic has huge equity, and that Hectic remained steadfast to vote in many directions but ultimately swallowed his vote on Pine and now look where we are.
