I think I know what this whole deal was about.
Frogsterkingslipped through into our group without any machinations, but wanted to keep the townreads he gained Day 1. But the scums also wanted to get rid ofcatboiand blame it on a townie.
Andresvmbgot inserted into our group as a result of scum action. I have no doubts about it, because putting him of all players into the group of the most widely townread players while kickingcatboiinto the bomb defuser seat was definitely not meant to benefit town. It became apparent to me,catboiandAndanteinstantly that it seems extremely improbable thatAndresvmbis scum and gets pushed in as bomb defuser like that.
The original plan was probably to have the group go as normal, withFrogsterkingproviding a wrong solution, and when the bomb exploded blame it onAndresvmb. But whenFrogsterkingrealised we're not buying this, he chose to improvise. And the improvisation was to confuse everyone, which basically resulted in him outing himself as scum.- Andresvmb

Yeah I see that. I’m not trying to act dumb. The point though remains. There’s no reason why there can’t be a Simple Doctor next to a Bodyguard which really doesn’t do much at all. It would just re-direct the shot to themselves. It’s a game with 19 players and I outted my role like first and you haven’t seen a direct counterclaim yet my role is all of a sudden hard to believe. I just don’t get it.

I can’t imagine a world where Frog flips Town. I have seen bad Town play. This isn’t it. This is active sabotage. It’s the sort of play that I find so offensive if it were coming from Town that I couldn’t possibly take them seriously ever again. It’s that sort of thing. Like I would hard ignore them forever if they were Town here and acting this way. Seriously no reason to take any of their views seriously ever if this is the sort of Town play that can be expected from them. It’s so devoid of reason, it cannot be even remotely thought of as occurring in good faith. Their posts in the Bomb Expert PT are so beyond the pale, I can’t see them ever flipping Town. If they do, it’ll be so hard to swallow for me.In post 2668, Cephrir wrote:

catboi had mixed feelings about Menalque (thought their interactions with me looked like Town probing, but didn’t like the speed of the hammer). Didn’t see any clearing interactions with Frog. Underscored that they could be looking down on their Scum game a bit after PYP. For the record, I do feel somewhat positive about Menalque overall, but agree with the comment on the hammer not being a great look. Having said that, I don’t think the execution would have landed anywhere else, so I don’t know that I can fault Menalque too much for that.- Andante

And since The Praetorian is Koba (I was asked about this before but didn’t actually realize that until N1), catboi felt 292 and the successor’s lurking just meant the slot should always be flipped.- Andante

I’m kidding, but to touch on the hammer — I didn’t believe the claim and wasn’t too fussed on hammering or not. I thought fire had likely seen your claim save you, and was pulling the same thing. Plus, y’know, I like hammering and I’m quite aggro with itIn post 2689, Andresvmb wrote:catboi had mixed feelings about Menalque (thought their interactions with me looked like Town probing, but didn’t like the speed of the hammer).
