I think I know what this whole deal was about.

Frogsterking
slipped 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 of
catboi
and blame it on a townie.

Andresvmb
got 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 kicking
catboi
into the bomb defuser seat was definitely not meant to benefit town. It became apparent to me,
catboi
and
Andante
instantly that it seems extremely improbable that
Andresvmb
is scum and gets pushed in as bomb defuser like that.

The original plan was probably to have the group go as normal, with
Frogsterking
providing a wrong solution, and when the bomb exploded blame it on
Andresvmb
. But when
Frogsterking
realised 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.

To be fair, catboi argued that. Those are not my own original thoughts.

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.

Could've just been giving up and taking down catboi before frog's sick plays made you not need to.

Idk if I buy your role and fire's together given scum already have like 3/4 of a nightkill.
Just no haha if Frog flips Scum, I never have to “just give up”. Like that’s not an intelligent play. You’re arguing I saw that my Scum buddy Frog was voted in as Expert, but then I absolutely had to swap myself in instead of catboi so that they could get nominated and exploded. But unless you’re arguing that I have a role that specifically forces me to swap myself with someone else, I never do that. We could have simply exploded a different Town player (someone perhaps not as obviously Town as catboi), and then not just out a member of the Team by having them act like a complete idiot by ignoring an IC claim and blowing that player up.

Like I never have to be swapped in there as Scum, if Frog is Scum, unless I have a desperate need to blow catboi up and why?! They were defending me! It just doesn’t make sense.
I'm not arguing any of this - I think frog is flipping town as I have said multiple times

If he doesn't, that changes things
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.

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.

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

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 it

We should try to agree a bit more on experts before ending day i think
