Gork please talk about your town reads of bbt/random on day one and how you pretty consistently defended them or pushed alternatives when they were up for discussion. What convinced you they were town to the extent you'd go to bat for them so heavily?
there it is!
[honestly just quoting everything at me isnt productive because im not going to respond to all of it? if theres something specific in my play from d1 that you want me to address then, by all means point it out]
but essentially theres four things that i would say in response to this.
i) bbt's opening seemed close enough to what i'd seen from him before from him as town.
ie: he gets caught up on something that makes no sense to me and acts confident about it in spite of it not making sense to me.
his play was obviously sparse so there wasnt much to read, so i was comfortable thinking that he was on the level early on in the game.
when he started posting more, he was more productive than i'd seen him in the first paint mafia game. thats really mostly it as far as i can remember.
ii) you quoted part of the reason i liked random for town. he was poking at hiplop and i and i didnt think that scum-random does that.
iii) im an overly focused person. if i get caught up on something, i get caught up on something and tend not to focus elsewhere. there were louder and more distracting things on d1 and i overlooked random and bbt and underestimated them both as players.
i get that it sounds convenient, but you have to believe that the entirety of my play this game was dedicated to "i am literally going to nonstop defend my scummates and never call them scum until theyre literally guiltied"
and honestly, i can probably get thinking this is my scumgame.
however:

And if it's 10/3, my current best guess is gork. No single post smoking gun or the like, but a lot of day one actions where he was pushing away from wolves and into townies, and a bunch of different townies at that.
iv) i kind of hate the way you reached back to flip your reads here.
i could understand you engaging me on this, not believing what i say in response, but for you to start with "ay dwlee is scum!!!!!!!!!" and then get pushed into a corner about it, be told youre about to be lynched and then for you to come at me as the best option for scum?
i dont know man, thats pretty opportunistic.
