23/5/21 skitter30 morning tweet Mini 2206 - Deja Vu: Perpetual MELO IV Morning Tweet repped in mid-day4 with super on-point posting and analyses and managed to completely overturn the game. She didn't *quite* manage to eke out the town win, but she came ridiculously close, and I believe that if conditions were slightly different (if she had repped in a bit earlier, or if the game had dragged on a bit longer), she absolutely could have.

To set the stage: Perpetual melo is essentially a best-of-5 setup: if town manages to get 3 scumflips they win, and if scum gets 3 town misflips scum wins.
Scum got misflips on days 1 and 2, and the win was in sight. Day3 had became a bit dicey, and I ultimately decided to bus scum-mom, knowing that in doing so, town-infinity (or town-notscience) would be neatly set up as the final misflip day4. And indeed, when day4 started, infinity was in quite a lot of hot water, and her flip looked fairly inevitable. In my mind, scum had all but won the game at that point - all that was left was waiting for town to actually cast the crucial quickhammer-enabling votes.

I had to go v/la just then, but I was fairly confident that I would return two days later to either a win or basically the same situation.

Instead, I came back to the game basically being set on fire by MT's rep-in: she read the entire 150 page game, correctly identified all 3 living town, and more crucially, correctly identified the scumteam and exactly what we had been doing all game. She was actively trying to block infinity's misflip, and trying to get scum flipped instead. And she nearly succeeded too, getting the key town-votes to at least waiver and rethink the misflip wagon.

She single-handedly turned a scumstomp into a near town win. I give her massive props for her on-point analysis and effort she put into trying to turn the game around for town, even if she didn't quite succeed.

Just some quotes from spectators in the dead-pt to show just how good she was:
