idk i get bed vibes you entering the game hardpushing lavender like that
Yeah i think why I dismissed the nokill earlier was at least partly because the no-kill could make sense if scum misread the setup. I think it might have been slightly +EV? There'd be an extra townie around when people get confirmed or something and it worked cause mylo, or something
Still, the idea of no-killing would have had to come to them. I suspect at least some of us here would've never thought to do that, i certainly wouldn't have.

I don't think we have anyone here who would intentionally no kill, thus we're looking at someone making an accident - Lavender is the only one I can see missing deadline on a night action due to flgihtiness/lack of engagement.
Is there anyone here who was hyper-aware of trying to max out EV? Besides catboi.
(that's not a question posed to you specifically that's at myself or the general audience)
I don't.. think so. Not that someone like that would have to show off their EV awareness in the thread, but still.
Nyeh! I'm willing to give Lav a shot, but I think based off just her posts alone, I read her as town because (as i mentioned) she's actually posted more than she did in her scum game. and ofc hectic (and someone else i think?) actually did the meta on it. it's actually quite the improvement if she's scum!
