maybe we should ask for clarification in case you're right and I'm wrong because having us on the wrong page doesn't make sense

I think we need to flip VP just to see where we are on the defusal meter

if dude flips scum we don't defuse any bombs no matter who shows up in the PT

i dont care if catboi comes back from the dead

well I could be wrong about the plan because I thought the plan was one thing but maybe the plan is a different thing?

In post 4327, GuiltyLion wrote:I think Baltar is scummier than Dwlee
Go on

Also, why do you think that scum picked you to defuse?
I've said a handful of times why I townread Dwlee, this doesn't vibe like their scumgame to me and I also think they've been remarkably genuine and straightforward in their reads/thought process and reactions under pressure - like everyone's thrown a ton of shit at Dwlee and I don't think I've seen a single instance of them twisting words or crafting a narrative to suit an agenda.

I think scum picked me to defuse cause it was a win win for them - either I get blown up and out of the way, or they can use a successful defuse to foment paranoia about me being scum and the scum count possibly at 3 refusals. See Andante's posts lmao, which I actually predicted might happen from her in the PT last night
In post 4337, Menalque wrote:
In post 4327, GuiltyLion wrote:they could have just openly scumread me and blown me up without much consequence
Actually, expand on this too please

I still think anyone unilaterally using the expert role to vig someone who isn’t a p consensus SR is kinda scumclaiming, so this doesn’t figure to me. I think you’re broadly p townread this game, so I’m not seeing how there would have been likely no consequence from them killing you
I don't feel broadly townread - I haven't tryharded all that much and I'm not like power leading on scum this game. I think scum would feel there's enough paranoia around me to rely on people either blowing me up or limming me without too much scrutiny. at least at this stage

I predicted Andante could spin me being saved like this

im wondering if i was the dummy getting the wool pulled over my eyes in that pt
then yeah, there’s no way GL was town.
Also, this post suggests that if I had freaked out and fought hard to survive that would make me town?? Am I to believe that's the read you'd take from that situation?

I'm not gonna lie I have some past town games where I got all riled up and defensive, but I also can tell when I'm being pushed by scum or when I'm being honestly sorted and no one in the PT was pushing any bullshit - there was really nothing that I could have even emotionally reacted to.

I think people are forgetting scum have to earn NKs from successful defuses by players?

it's possible they just didn't have a kill last night if Andres hit on a save
