thank you!! I hope it's as interesting as i hoped for.
The idea behind this event is that changing minds of the opposition is valued more greatly than the opinions of those who already agree with you. The teams are comprised of separate wagons from the previous phase for that reason -- they are more likely to having competing views of the game
Oh boy and they did! Ulyana was considered highly town in one and highly suspect in the other, for example
unfortunately pink didn't really... come together.. at all. But we'll see how that affects the game!

In hindsight maybe could have made the ballot results revealed publicly but that would make things quite a bit trickier for scum. As it is, if you can convince 1-2 townies, then the rest of the scum on that team are free to rock the vote and betray
I don't think scum has the power to secretly influence the outcome against their real reads without raising serious questions -- you'd need multiple scum on the same team for it to work, assuming all the town vote together

(and if multiple scum betray then that reveals there is multiple scum on a particular team which can be really devastating for the single elimination scum gets for it. These arent NK targets these are elims, of course!)

Spoiler:
I'm still happy flipping both Gamma and peta. Others are more of a tossup.

I'm good with peta as their the one who drove me outl
If I scumread peta every game, at some point I will be right.
It's not gambler's fallacy if I just want to be right on any singular future roll

Between that and still calling Taly she/her it might be time to tally up the wrong pronoun count

I thought peta being aggressive and callously pugnacious was within bounds but causing two replaceouts with it. Oof.

i wonder if he gets mad when people he is bashing into a pulp press that eject button or is it just another scalp :3

Depends on the person but in general it's a scalp
Things get unpleasant, people push inactivity, and people don't give you the light of day because they're scum or think you are. I think those are natural. It's unpleasant if the accusations are untrue, and aggressively right even if they are, but fundamentally they're about the play rather than the player.
I'm a biased, though, both because I consider peta one of my few friends onsite and because while I tend to have hard "do not touch categories" ex. gender, in general I play extremely dirty as scum and think it is fair game to make the game extremely unfun for players.

I don't think peta's intent was to attack Saber personally, and rather, he wanted to attack their play viciously.
However, to Saber (and to me I could easily see how) it came off as insulting them personally so I do think it is important to consider how your posts will be received, even if you do not intend them one way

I have always known and let it slip once but truly tragic. I think he's slipped once before but it was in a small, low-profile game so no one noticed.
No getting out of this one though.
