Scum would have hit that wonder harder than shit (minus you) because as Nahdia said no players know what resolutions are coming up.
1. They had no way to coordinate. Do they all forsake all other wonders and try for it? How do they tell their buddies that?
2. If they fucked up, you saved their ass with Natural. So, why do that, again?

Felt like Vecna put more effort in, yours seemed half-ass.

1) Yes they did through saying "the wonders suck". Some of them might be genuine but some of them are probably hey I am taking The Great Lighthouse don't bother. Could also be they took it without coordination as well.

2) There was no chance they fucked up. Any competent scum (minus PV) barring cross talk like the above would be on it. I am wholly confident a scum picked up day talk based on how the ABR flip went.

Because Natural does favor Town and PV is playing your paranoia.

Even if we go with PV's argument that scum fucked up which is a load of horse manure then it is still protown because of endgame utility. Natural was the towniest resoltuion of them all.

I just don't think giving a chance for scum to mitigate the impact of misplaying or to reconsider things wasn't pro-town.

However, I don't think you're scum. The Resolution phase just shows how people approach mafia in general.

...That is literally every resoltuion ever proposed. Never forsake town gains because scum could game the system.

That is like saying don't ever lynch because we could mislynch. Or don't ever vote because you could be wrong.

I bet half the players are like "no way LUV blatantly rolefishes like that as scum"
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

b/c asking if anyone has X wonder is rolefishing?

You asked if anyone built the Oracle. Then you were like "I wanted to get it!" Like that totally makes your question so valid and smart. Do you think that anyone that didn't build the oracle was going to respond to you?

my first impression is that this is an empty vote on a scumbuddy so Math gets town cred when he flips scum.

Nero's statement is blatantly wrong.
I cited a game with me and Dave as scum together.
None of it matches my scum play as I am Town.

Nero is more interested in sounding plausible than being right.

PV's alignment and Math's alignment don't really matter. I am not a huge fan of the "scum shot their own!" but even if they did that literally doesn't matter as it just means that we are down to 4 scum in the setup. And Math has a wonder that means they get shot so we'll wait on the vig shot.

Yes my and PV alignments matter.

I am Town but if I am scum (which I am not scum) then from your POV people are PoEing/ world building/ incorrect reads. If someone says because Math is town then Player X is scum then it matters. Just because I have stonehenge and PV has Pyramids does not mean we get free passes to not be read. Whether 4 or 5 scum alive is huge.

I honestly hope I die because I know who I am hitting with my henge investigation.
