............. i would have taken either of you d2 and i was Disappointed to get a greenflip in {you,dsj}.....
ottomh i think he was a better elim at a gamestate level? he was both scummy and very hard to solve around; like i was not looking at anybody and going "ah they are not scum with dsj" except like.. datisi
like let's look at alternate universes
we elim scum!pooky in f7
enter f5-6 with town!dsj he is likely eliminated
we enter f3-4 and need to solve scum!pooky partners based off early associations and you're looking at dead {skitter, tw}
if you were town and we miselm'd you in f7 like
i don't know who the fuck the team is meant to be
but regardless of his alignment dsj being alive in this gamestate is a massive liability :/

i did not expect to be alive in this phase and like... i considered that you could be fakeclaimining but literally did not make the connection that i should try to kill you because that would make me look good because i didn't think i'd need to be read in this phase........

ok a stronmgman in a micro with a bodyguard is patently ridiculous and i realised that like 3 seconds after thinking of it
if there was a scum roleblocker why would they have let skitter's n.a. get through when they could have just had us tear into each other d2...
these aren't really universes i regarded as remotely likely

i have definitely been on this high horse before but it's clearly not sinking in
if given the choice between dayplaying mafia or setup speccing into oblivion i will choose mafia about 97% of the time. setup spec is
and thinking about it too much is not only a really great way to lose well-designed games (poignantly schadd_ reviewed this game and is a glutton for punishing mod meta) but it also corrodes the integrity of the game v v quickly
so yes, i considered you might be fakeclaiming.
but no, i did not think you claiming bomb in this setup explicitly and necessarily made you absolutely scum fakeclaiming and once again no i did not really consider the value of flipping you to improve my own position going into a day phase i did not expect to be alive in
