One question I've been asking myself is why do I believe Pav about not being able to loverize without a potion? Is it possible that Pav is innocent and the scum team held off on using their lovers ability?
But that makes no sense to hold off. If they had done it sooner, Pav would have been limmed the next day. And yet the scum team was down 2 members pretty early in the game. Why not loverize 2 town earlier knowing they would get the 3rd town in Pav the next day?
The last 2 scum were Ceph/Enchant and unknown. I wasn't really suspecting Ceph until after Enchant replaced in. (I know other people were but I wasn't.) So the scum team may have been cautiously optimistic they could remain alive for a while.
Right now I am just throwing my thoughts out here trying to get conversations started.
Time to get ready for work. So someone jump in here and tell me how wrong I am about stuff.
I agree, scum holding off doesn't make sense, except as a blitz play here at the end. I'd like to think the scum loverizer is limited like I have been (one shot of the ability until circumstances change), but there's no guarantee of that, and the possibility may be that their loverizer managed to get a 2nd shot of their skill already and has it in pocket for tonight.
My best guess there, then, is that when I claimed, scum made a plan to save their loverizing til close to the end for a double kill and a mislim on me. (Here I'm puzzled too, though. Where is the scum loudly insisting I be the lim today as the confirmed loverizer?) Alternatively as I pointed out a page or two back, they've been trying and failing for a few days, but that just seems unlikely to me.
Nobody's disputed me saying that the final scum is in [pav, Bowser, Dunn] which means we all pretty much accept that Skybird and Icebox are clear. (If not, please correct me.)
And given Bowser's protestations about what their slot has done (all of which is verifiable), I tend to agree with them, that to consider they could loverize in addition to their other abilities is a stretch.
It *could* be some sort of item, but given a potion or something seems most likely, and wisdom never had a love potion, I kinda don't think that's true either.
So for me, it basically has to be Dunn.
I could theorize about where else I'd vote if Dunn flips town, but I don't see much point, as I don't see a way around me getting voted off here, and scum is never going to kill me.
