Here is my theory: scum have an ability to cause a player to flip scum. Scum which includes Drapion used it on us last night (or at some point in the game). Drapion then fake claims a guilty on us to seal a free mislim, and we flip scum because of the ability. That ability would be the bastard element because we are aligned with the town. Drapion then coasts to victory. It would probably explain Drapion's reluctance to state their result. They were probably double-checking to make sure they didn't mess anything up. As farfetched as my theory may sound, I think it's bastard enough for the mod to advertise the game as having (nontrivial*) bastard elements while not being overly bastard. I also think it matches with this game not having role pms flip.
I guess the only alternate explanation is scum (which doesn't include Drapion) have an ability to tracker-frame someone, and they used it last night on us to score a free mislim on both us and Drapion. It's a possibility, but I honestly don't think it's likely. Drapion's claim has had issues throughout the game of choosing poor tracks even despite the Bella track.
Option 3 is scum Drapion is confident their partner can coast to victory. It's plausible, but I'm not sure that even Drapion has the guts to do that with two alive masons and a fairly solid PoE. It still would make me wonder though why Drapion would guilty us here when they could probably still get our lim without a guilty. After all, they could always claim our partner made the kill (and that would almost certainly be true).
(* - It has to be nontrivial otherwise the moderator would have probably specified precisely what the bastard element was or could be.)
This is truly my last post. Good luck once again.

I am town and I am Tracker and I am probably going to be miss executed but please read Option 3 and then ask yourself if I would actually do it as a wolf. (Cause I wouldn’t do such a bad wolf play for an easy ML like that.)
