And, what, you think FL is bussing me on day 1, Luke? Come on.In post 1390, Well Done wrote:My immediate paranoia to spotting this is that they are scum together. That in the scum chat they were talking about the playerlist, and catobi said basically this idea as a worry that pooky would likely end up tunneled on him for this reason.
So, when Flavor Leaf saw TB present a scum reads list of 3 names, and saw both catboi and himself on it, he stepped in to discredit the TB push based on this idea.
Then Catboi came in, saw the wagon building on him, he made a post to discredit the TB push based on this idea.
This would make sense as an explanation on why Flavor Leaf went from saying that they were gonna keep on Lurking
Spoiler:
To hyper posting the shit out of this game. Like, they went from making post 911 saying they were not going to hyperpost, to becoming the number 1 top poster in the thread over the course of 12 hours.
[This was actually the thing that I was looking into when I spotted the similarities btw. I was looking to see what caused such a massive change in his mindset and approach to this game.]
But, I need to look at FL's then push on catboi to see if that makes any sense... I wish Dunn was online :/- catboi

Newbie VT claims are real 99% of the time. And I believe SoD's claims of their experience level.In post 1424, Menalque wrote:

That's not "setting up a pivot", that's forming a read.

I double down on the sentiment that locking yourself in as VT here in a large Multiball is not good.In post 1424, Menalque wrote:

What if you get guiltied? What if you have to make a kill and get tracked?
The only thing they avoid is possibly the other scum team's night kill, which I doubt Sword was going to be targeted anyways.
I do see some reasons actually, but why claim VT there. Why do it the way they did? So idk what that skepticism's aboutCHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

Of course, the thing is, Norwee isn't a player who would be good to push as scum. He might blow up under pressure but that also gives him the chance to start obvtowning and then he stops being pushable and has more sway in the game. I try not push potentially volatile players as scum because it has a strong chance of backfiring. Was kind of like how I handled Andante in my game with Menalque.- Flavor Leaf

Also, this makes no sense for Monkey, who has potential to become the main wagon right now, to be pushing Sword in this way.
I believe this is Town Monkey falling on a Town Sword.
Making Nashville scum much more likely. =/CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me
