Tbh @Josh, your comments about my play are just incorrect… Saving MetalSonic day 1 and ensuring the chesskid3 lynch allowed the rest of the game to happen…
The recruit option was clearly also the right choice despite the team wanting “some random” as the recruit.
We were actually hoping to use the treestump mechanic to get a last minute tree stump on MetalSonic day two if he somehow didn’t get hammered. I think stumping is a very strong scum mechanic because it doesn’t end the day and could easily force a mislynch.
The mechanic itself should push town to reach a majority hammer faster.
Wait I’m hearing you had some computer model tell you who scum was. Do you just have some blind faith in technology and think pressing a button that says “Find Scum” is actually gonna do that?
Well, if I’m being honest, nothing worked. I was completely unconvincing when I most needed to, even when I was almost completely sure that Rich was Scum, and doubted myself at all the wrong moments. And the Town players left after the Elli debacle completely refused to sit down and think. Margaret’s post about Rich, Josh and I all being Town was just the icing on the cake, but even before then I felt completely unable to turn the tide.
The fact that the Scum were so obvious, and yet we absolutely failed at even getting one of the last two, is quite frustrating.
