Take a look here:

This is an example where the entire scum team was caught D1.

The only thing I could really do is poison the well that the day was going on too long.

Town died because the people who were right were drowned out by petty infighting. I just never bothered to try to fix it.

People want to be heroes way too much.

The only reason I was miselimmed is we thought Titus was our traitor with how bad our reads were.

It almost became a dead sweep.

I am very good at scum because it requires actively listening and then giving people what they want.

But if you’re in a bad spot you manipulate the gamestate and people’s minds.

As outed scum this game left me continue to plan and speak and move chess pieces on the board.

Some assumptions people made are accurate and some I have poisoned the well.

When you see the mafia PT post game there is a key assumption (I won’t say what) that I am not correcting.

453,463 for post game reference to this.

Certain alive players are assuming because (x is true) therefore (y is true)

But x doesn’t always necessitate y.

I don't think there's much point in engaging with Drapion because even once he ends up being wrong he will find a way to twist it into him being right all along and that he made the correct play.

The way Butterflies is treated Nora is funny.
They talked to Nora in a term that Is actually directed to everyone except Nora.
They said “Taly Gladiate” to Nora implying they aren’t directing it to Nora but they clearly are.

That’s pretty weak sauce.

Someone doesn’t talk the way I do is a crap scum case.

Agreed, feel like there's been a few times where town was headed down a good path but ends up straying away from it due to infighting. I feel like it probably helped me survive a day or two longer than I expected to for example, feel like there were a couple of occasions where I couldn't be active for a while at points where I was under suspicion, but by the time I came back there'd been about 15 pages worth of arguing that went nowhere and town had gone down the wrong path. Probably why I think Rad's approach was good in the end - much as it delayed my elimination a turn they realised they didn't necessarily need to be around for town endgame for town to still win at the time.

Pi can you give me a hug.

Idk why, but I want a hug right now.

No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Interesting.

And what if your way was worse for town?

Town isn’t a “my way” thing. It’s an our way when done well.

I think that it can also apply to butterflies as well.

I think Nora pointed it out because Butterflies is their partner but you probably already knew that’s what I think. :P

Issue is people need to understand I am not the best at communicating.

See Butterflies is taking as if to try and talk to others reading rather then Nora themselves.
