I never give up as scum. Usually I just do really stupid things as I become more desperate, but never give up. Also, saying this is probably not a good idea, but oh well.
I don't know what to say to convince you I'm town, but the best thing I can say is that I really don't think I'd have tried to 'save' NS so hard. If I was scum, knowing that Bubba and GiF were town, then he would have definitely been going down in my point of view. Much better to bus than to implicate myself in such a way. I wouldn't try to distract from his lynch as I did just so I could make this argument, as there's no way I would have been able to rely on it changing your mind. Obviously it looks bad, and I would've known this before doing it.
Now onto GiF. The bussing was one thing that made me doubt him being scum at first as well and it's part of the reason why I thought it was bubba and not him, but scum do bus, it just happens. I agree it makes him less likely scum and there's not much else I can say about it. His claim too, seems town, but was a great way to be incredibly town-looking and notscience was not exactly in the best of positions. I've seen a lot of games where unconfirmed PR claims fail to save really scummy people.
The most glaring thing that I see is that there is just way too much town power and just imagining the reviewing of the game, I am pretty sure they'd strongly recommend taking off a PR or two. Macho Cop and Tracker are powerful investigative roles (tracker moreso than usual with the number of PRs) and you have a JOAT as well! It's just too much.
The most incriminating thing that I could see about GiF was his reaction to Jon's claim. Because it was an odd day, it wasn't important for GiF to withhold his claim anymore, so when asked to claim he should have just done it if town. I've already talked about why his stalling would come from scum.
I guess you could say that
1195 is possibly because he wanted to be able to be seen as being against his buddy, but the other stuff is just more incriminating imo.
