Thinking a bit about the Sodium wagon switches in Day 2, I guess one thing I'm overestimating is how bad Pesco's switch to KGH was. If KGH is also Scum, there has literally been zero chances for them to get a mislynch in. But if KGH is Town, that has been Scum's only chance to mislynch this game before going solo. But it never was really a strong factor in Day 1 where I think KGH only got to L-2 at varying points. As a chance to push a mislynch, Pesco's #429-430 in response to KGH's #407 was one of the 2 times in the game it could reasonably happen. KGH got ahead with my vote and while Alice and KGH brought Sodium back up, Pesco's switch reversed it. Thinking about it, would ScumPesco really have a choice but to try for the possible KGH mislynch anyways? His name would be on it, but then so would mine and whoever hammered as well as people who tunneled on Town KGH like K4U. If Scum could get a break, this would be the time. Pesco: do you still consider KGH to be a possible 3rd party, going back to your 33% argument? Is there any further justification to your vote on KGH today other than steamroll? And you don't seem to really provide a defense/response to KGH's case on you.
Course the KGH lynch didn't pan out this way in Day 2 and with Edible's roleclaim confusing things, I guess the main distinction between Pesco and Kilga is that Pesco stayed on KGH while Kilga lingered on Sodium for a bit before relenting and saying we could see whether Edible/Sodium could resolve itself (which is the second time a Scum could have tried for the possible KGH mislynch). I didn't consider this as much, but Kilga's #518 is the one where he hints at Serp being the possible Doc and at the same time runs counter with that assumption by unvoting Sodium and voting KGH. He says the possibility of them as a pair would be figured out and dismisses the idea that one is Town and the other could be Scum (no proof of that till possibly the end of the Day). He also worried that Sodium could very well be the Doc while throwing in the possibility Serp was the one. In retrospect, Serp voting Sodium back to L-1 after Edible's claim was a pretty strong sign that only you seemed to notice so why didn't you stick with it?
I'm starting to find it weird that both Pesco and Kilga are almost identical in voting history. Both voted Sodium early, both switched to KGH, and both think steamroll and vote KGH early in Day 4. I "don't think" both are Scum, but the rationale of those actions suggest it is one of the best courses of action for Scum to take this game. The suspicion is that one of them is Scum and the other is Townie whose actions while given by a Townie, run parallel to Scum interests.
KGH finally got something forward and his case on Pesco isn't bad. Going back to why Sodium would try to bus a Scum KGH so early in Day 1 while hinting at Zengar before the case on Zengar really got going: Sodium explicitly mentions Zengar when he didn't have to and he did it periodically. So if he wanted to bus a Scum KGH, he shouldn't be keeping his other buddy halfway relevant in the day's discussion. And that end of Day 1 switch is once again, really stupid and unneeded if Sodium knew both of them were Scum. He might get some heat for ignoring Zengar, but it would be redeemed if KGH flipped Scum. I'm convincing myself Sodium's actions are a more classic example of trying to mislynch one and ignore the other. KGH may be late, but that by itself is not enough to just brush his case aside. So if I think about Pesco vs Kilga more, Pesco goes on Zengar after Kilga (with more minimal reasons than Kilga), but Pesco goes from Sodium to KGH before Kilga. Pesco is after Kilga on the idea of steamrolling today, but because it looked like it was the only viable wagon, it does seem more neutral. We can't quite do a steamroll this game, we're about a phase behind so I guess the point is to try to get it right. I'm managing to convince myself it's more likely Pesco than Kilga now so there's the vote. Still want Kilga to answer those specific concerns about his actions in #518, if it's not Pesco or Edible, Day 5 may shape up to be Kilga.
