So, let’s try and figure out what strategic considerations went into this, and see if it helps us figure out what is going on.
At a first glance, what could explain why scum!Alisae kills MS and not you, Key, is if you are Chosen (but then I would think that I’m the better choice instead of MS for the night kill). Why? MS was already the more likely to be lynched of the two in {Alisae, MS}. In fact, I had already signaled that my lynchpool consisted of {MS, NSG}. So why would you kill MS if you are Alisae? I would almost think that you would seek to avoid it (while keeping one of you [Key] or me alive). And this you can do, because there’s only one Chosen left. However, your explanation that MS would instavote Alisae does hold some water. And anything that Alisae said after knowing the outcome of the vote is largely meaningless (saying that MS should be next, I mean).
Now, I am struggling a bit to see why you would put yourself in this position. If Alisae is Chosen, then you would have killed me, and had Alisae and MS vote each other and then you simply vote whichever and that’s that, you win. If I’m Chosen, however, then you had no choice but to kill one of MS and Alisae. But then MS remains the worse choice of the two, since, again, I already signaled who I was more skeptical of. But you could have imagined that you could more easily build a case against Alisae, since MS has been arguing against Alisae all game and Alisae went on a rant prior to pulling the trigger on NSG, who to make things worse, was Chosen.
The thing is, the reason I’m alive I think is because I’m a newbie. I’m easier to manipulate. It’s easier to feed me the above conclusion and turn me against you.
Now, from re-reading most of the early conversation, I have gathered that Alisae was more likely to have picked Scum than you, Key. Alisae also admitted to having picked Scum (and not getting it). On top of that, Alisae tried to cast doubt on NSG early on by implying that NSG was lurking, which to be honest fed into my paranoia and led to the outcome we all know.
So I’m gonna do something I haven’t done much all game. I’m gonna go with my gut. I had a good read on NSG early on and I went back on it for the wrong reasons. I won’t do that here. I said repeatedly that one of Alisae and MS was probably scum. I think I’m going to stick by that now.
@Alisae, now is your time to speak.
