Well, I still stand by "Fire didn't play exceptionally good. Town just played exceptionally bad."
“Why was I chosen?'
'Such questions cannot be answered,' said Gandalf. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”
yeah like Bro should not have been lynched there - his play was admittedly worse than grib or firebringer's but counterclaiming me would still be a REALLY dumb thing for scum to do there, I looked fine at the time and would have pretty much gone on coasting for a while and looking fairly town if he hadn't done that.
And given that Grib's claim could literally not exist and have looked the same to everyone else, we actually have a legit chance now that people have mentioned Grib being suspicious and Transcend has the time to overthink some shit
Still not likely he ultimately goes for firebringer being town over grib but it's possible now at least
I should have been pushing that point far more aggressively much sooner, but tbh I've become a super lazy mafia player. Not taking it so seriously is helpful towards me being able to play at all.

I was just wrong about who that conf-town would be.
You weren't confirmed Town.
You got lynched for having a single solitary vote all game on scum while pushing on multiple Town for lynch. In an endgame situation your lynch wasn't a bad choice at all.
Transcend will shoot Firebringer. And if he's somehow blocked whichever of the two Town players are left alive will lynch Firebringer.
Sorry scum that there was a glimmer of hope.

Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.

wow how surprising
let's blame the player and not the strategy
Nope. Please continue to pedal that looking at his ISO and seeing a complete lack of push on any scum while repeatedly pushing for Town lynches is a failure of VCA when assessing whether he should be lynched.

it was a mechanical mistake too, really, because the same logic that clears zulfy should also clear bro -- zulfy could also be a scum roleblocker but that is apparently fine

Nah. I'm more than willing to admit that I got the several of my reads wrong (Camtsuki, hiplop). That happens in a Large game.
Just like I'm content with having correct scum reads on all four scum. Which seems to be forgotten in this little conversation of "Let's defend people we like regardless of how poorly they performed".
But continue to be bitter about being lynched when looking at your ISO says "Scum".

I mean, I'm not exactly bitter? It's more that it was a dumb move from a mechanical perspective, and mechanical mistakes are something you should really never make.

in my capacity as someone emotionally distant from the whole situation, i will agree that bro and ceph's mislynches were the result of everyone else working from a crappy scumhunting model (and not because of bro or ceph)
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
