Shit I was about to post at the end of D3 before jerk Pesco decided to hammer right when I finished writing it:
Hero and Dormio lynches obviously weren't happening because people hate my logic so I switched to BT because recent interactions with Pesco have made me think that he's the best next target. Did so without explanation because I wanted to see his reaction given that he has been trying a lot harder when talking to people who are attacking him. I took another look through BT's posts after Pesco responded to me about JOB and most of his effort seems to be put into defending himself rather than toward hunting scum. This isn't the "cornered townie has to defend themself a lot due to pressure" kind of overdefensive, it's scummy because he's not actively playing the game and voting for scum until other players start attacking him. I'd argue that some of his defense even comes off as an overreaction, I'm pretty sure my question toward him didn't warrant a huge WoT. It should be noted that said WoT didn't actually answer how his thought process changed from lynching PX is a crapshoot -> one sentence during early D3 -> PX IS THE SCUMMIEST, LYNCH NOW. The evolution of BT's PX stance looks like a scummy attempt to sneak on a wagon without actually having any consistency throughout his play.
Ultimately I'd say Hero and Dormio are still worse, but I can actually see the case on BT after re-reading him and I'm willing to push for his lynch. I still think PX is town and do not want him lynched. Serela case isn't really convincing to me even though his posts irk me on gut.
None of that matters now but should explain why I did what I did. Even though I was wrong. :l
Pesco and Bard are obvtown now. One of them probably died overnight, I don't know, I'm writing this at the start of N3. JOB looks fine too due to his staunch refusal to go after anything aside from the PX case. Serela probably wasn't bussing because he was the initial push on PX during D3 and scum probably knew the PX wagon was very likely to take off. There would have been enough mislynches for scum!Serela that I don't think he would have needed the bus if he could find a good reason to not start the D3 PX wagon. He was also one of the main components of the PX wagon on D1, so without him, PX would have definitely survived that day. Actually, I realllly don't think that PX was bussed, so I'm not particularly interested in attacking his wagon today. If anybody was bussing, though, then it was probably BT since his stance on PX was inconsistent as fuck... but he was also a counterwagon, so unless PX's post before deadline was last minute distancing, that leaves me, Hero and Dormio. <_<
##Vote DormioHe completely ignored PX on D3 even though PX's wagon was huge throughout the day, which I think is actually worse than me and Hero openly defending PX.
In fact, given what he said on D1,
PX has been in his neutral pile the entire game. This is the easiest way for scum to avoid attention following a scumflip, because there are no ties to analyze at all. This is scummier than any of the actual "connections" to PX.
Regardless of him never actually saying anything about PX,
throwing reads out of the window to vote Dan looks like a sloppy chainsaw defense of PX in hindsight. I'm interpreting the way he way he dropped his reads without little explanation as being a side effect as scum rushing to lynch the easy target who was after their buddy.
Refer to
this post for things I dislike about Dormio that aren't flip related.
Finally, PX's flip makes me strongly believe that the Serela wagon was a scum push. I don't think that both scum voting on it is too unlikely if they thought it could discredit Serela himself and have him take off as the counterwagon to PX.
Hero is still Hero, and at this point I can't tell if he's actually scummy or if I just have massive tunnel vision on him. I think his stance on PX looks more genuine than BT's because it's not ~INCONSISTENT AS FUCK~, so I'd actually lynch BT first. It doesn't help that BT should have hammered PX on D1 but didn't actually do so. Blargh.
