as for the audacity of skitter, i will refer you to a game:
Deja Vu: Perpetual MELO IV
this is a game where a significant number of town players had 4/5 scum in the POE on day 1. only skitter (as part of the venus fly trap hydra) was a deepwolf
and because of the nature of that setup, a scum elim on day 1 could easily have led to a town sweep via chain eliminations
and skitter basically singlehandedly put the game on her back by aggressively pushing wagons on town over sum elims. the one bus was on day 3, on momrangal, essentially because she was too afk to hammer and because she wanted to save a different teammate for a wagon
it was super audacious and one of the best scumgames i've seen. if your assumption is skitter wouldn't risk herself trying to save a teammate, it is an incorrect one
that game also technically can function as scum meta for me, but it is probably not a very good one to use because 1. i was subbing in 2. the slot i was taking was already locksummed by some people because lolbeeboydoesn'tpostasscum. So almost right away my goal was just to reverse psychology people and confuse associatives, doing things like white knighting the wagon on nacho-town, voting my teammate momrangal but not pushing hard enough for her wagon to actually go through, getting into an argument with skitter
that is a useful thing to think about though because i am sure harley and TA knew the slot they were getting in was heavily suspected and were acting with the intention largely of confusing people's reads
