I don't think Andante is easy to mislim
and I know you are using Mena's dead body to hard shove me.
Also I'm kind of surprised you think scum!me tries to shove town!you at this point in the game when you are basically UTR and by your own admission Andante/Enchant are "easy mislims" so it's kind of strange to me that you are now saying that me pushing you is a scumclaim.
What should I even be townreading from you atp?

Was just thinking about the scum nightkill situation and I wanted to write this out.[Assuming Andante!Town - which from the dayplay, the bussing, the faked guilties, the rigged bomb spec probably is close to 100% atp]
We know scum started 1 NK, got 2 NKs from VPB defusals, and 1 NK from GLion/Andante then +.5 NK from Glion.
which puts us at 4 scum nightkills.
We have 1 used on Greeting and 1 used on Cephrir which means scum can have max 2 banked at beginning of the night.
If Bell/Enchant/Andante are scum, they can blow up GuiltyLion and shoot someone - that opens today with 5 players alive; mislim me, they go to 4 -> Blow up someone/shoot someone game over -> 2 Game over.
If scum is not in Bell/Enchant/Andante - for example Dwlee/CSF/Pooky - this is still the correct play to accelerate to elo today because there's no reason to expect Glion to survive - there is literally no reason to save the nightkill.
So the only reason scum don't pursue this line of play is if one of their nightkills was blocked somewhere along the way and they're actually sitting at [1.5] kills tonight and they need the extra mislim. (for example if Andy town then 4.5 kills -> .5 kills means they can't nightkill tonight)
Now take a look at when a kill might've actually been blocked;
Bell says that I tried to kill him on N2 - but this theory makes very little sense if you actually think about scum strategy - why would any scum decide to SKIP shooting on N1 and shoot instead on N2?
It makes sense in exactly one scenario - if you are trying to frame the defuser on N1 - as in trying to make it look like the player who defused on N1 successfully is actually mafia then maybe you skip the n1 kill to pretend it got blocked and then shoot on n2.[We know scum didn't do this because VPB is mafia and it doesn't make sense to frame your own defuser - if anything scum definitely SKIP nightkilling on N2 because if you NK on N2 you make your own defuser look shady as fuck]
I think the reason the scum shot on N3 is to make it look like VPB defusing twice N1/2 gave them a NK and they used it on N3 -> which supports scum shooting on N1 on N1 and getting blocked somewhere.
There's little reason for scum to shoot either GLion or Frogster on N1 - ergo I was the target of being NKed on N1 or the scum nightkill on Andante(n4) was blocked.
I strongly believe now that I was the target on N1 because I don't think scum decide to not kill in that scenario[remember the ideal situation for scum is nightkills on N1/N3 that makes it look like VPB is town defuser and scum are following standard nk procedure]
Now why does scum decide to shoot me of all people on N1:
1) The top group of townreads is being set up with a rigged bomb - literally no reason to nightkill in that group.
2) I'm in the second group of townreads and I am the most skeptical person of all of them in terms of scumreading VPB.
3) I'm kind of a pain in the ass for them to deal with and VPB does not really want to continue keeping me at bay and he knows I can readflip on a dime if he fucks up anywhere down the line - this has the added bonus of freezing my reads in place on him.
4) It looks really really good for scum!VPB if I get shot after he convinces me to let him live because why would scum!VPB shoot town!pooky after town!pooky lets him live?

Read the sequence from this post.
Bell is very clearly "paranoid" about this turn of events from our hood where Titus gambited a fake investigation on VPB and it caused everyone in the hood to decide that this was an all town hood.
That's the worst possible scenario for Scum!Bell to see POE shrink like that.
Now I know for 100% certain this 4 player hood is all town [Ceph(nightkilled) Titus(blown up by Bell) GuiltyLion(Defused Twice) Me]
It makes sense for Bell to kill this hood because he doesn't
know
exactly what happened in this hood but he does know that he can't let the hood survive because he can get POE'd out.
Hence why the Ceph Nightkill and Titus getting Blown up. I suspect he might've wanted to kill GuiltyLion but maybe something GuiltyLion posted in the PT last night caused him to change his mind on whether he's better off with GL alive rather than dead.

In post 2753, GuiltyLion wrote:Bell gave me some minor pings in the PT, he was asking a few busywork questions to Baltar about whether he prefers playing town/scum, how often VP Baltar posts as scum, which I thought could be fake solviness. I didn't understand why he was assuming the bomb defuse was likely to succeed, and he was expressing suspicion towards me which I thought might have been positioning to push me today when the bomb blew up. He did have one really townie feeling sentiment about being able to outpost me if I'm scum and I try to push him. But frankly the bomb defusing successfully I feel points to him being town again - I don't see why scum!Bell would swap misty into the hood and yet then give correct info and not sabotage the bomb.
uh this makes a lot of sense
VPB went again cuz (2/3) people in the bomb PT were his scum buddies
the information for the defuser and experts will be going out shortly. night 2 starts now and ends in

look at this bomb PT again and see if it makes more sense if you're the only town player in there and they're just doing some bullshit scum theatre

the swap where VPB -> defuser and Misty becomes an Expert is designed to make it look like scum are trying to kill VPB again - spared once, spare again.
Misty jumping into the open VPB spot maintains the scum influence in the PT at 2 experts and really they only have to convince GL to get VPB his second defuse

It was possible for mafia to win, while town tried to shred in search of day 1 sabotour which never existed in first place.
Of course, this plan failed, because of hilarious reasons, but VP still managed get 2 defuses. When i voted him and suggested to "check" how much defuses we have, it didn't find almost none support. Then VP just takes and blows up Andres for hellwhat reason, blowing his cover, just blows how many defuses mafia have. Of course it was idiotic move, so i supported him, because i didn't expect he really act like that as scum.
Enchant do you remember writing this yesterday about how Andante can't be scum because scum tried to frame Andante with a rigged bomb on N1 ?

Yeah. I agree.
It’s just awkward. Because I think Pooky is scum and I can’t really take their case against me seriously.
Because it’s simply too convoluted for me, though I know me saying that will result in Pooky trying to say, ‘actually, it isn’t that convoluted” been down this road before.

At pooky re: all the nightkill stuff, I believe I have shown that it's the case that saving excess kills is correct from a scum EV standpoint, especially with no clear PRs to kill. I might be wrong but I think you should look at that before assuming scum attempted to kill N1. It's also kinda likely scum didn't know this, however, so it's actually still possible they tried to kill N1 as a result

1/9, 1/7, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, scum win
Kill two at end:
1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/5, 1/3, scum win
Note the 1/8 chance of limming correctly vs 1/4 (math is more complicated than this but shows they're not equivalent EV)
It’s honestly hard for me to justify myself. I guess the difference is that, for the most part I had more confidence on GL town when he showed up to a party he wouldn’t have invited himself to if he were scum and Pooky is a big enough threat that I felt like if I didn’t take the risk we might lose.
