If Theta went down, I think immediately those who got Bit would become conf town, and I think if town could have just gotten 1 scum here, it could have snowballed.
Gamma Emerald did well at becoming undeniably town imo, and pulled the night kill because of it.
Yeah, my biggest mistake was pushing theta Day 3. I don’t even remember why I did, and I think we could have gotten a significantly easier win if I hadn’t.
Day 4 I think my fake guilty on Bingle was probably necessary? Maybe not necessary but definitely a net positive. I did not want Bingle alive in ELo because he’d be a threat to my control of the thread (which did end up evaporating anyways, although I could have avoided that if I’d played better).
I pushed Gimli Day 2 not because his reads were good, but again, because I wanted to control where the thread would go on Day 3 and I didn’t want Gimli being pesky and causing people to reevaluate their assumptions. I didn’t think he would react well to being pushed too and I was correct. This exact same reasoning why I wanted to kill Titus and 2hd even though they were never truly obvtown.
