mathblade got nancy drew outed by YOLO making himself leader. she played a great, very participative game and deserved better than to get mechanically outed by math.
if math isn't scum, what nancy drew is completely nonsensical. she just threw a great scum game for no fucking reason.
you're just... I mean it's so obvious math is scum. you just work through weird logical waves to get there and I have no patience interacting with it. I will flip town and then you will resolve math so it's fine.
There's nothing weird about reason and logic friend.
We know for sure that Nero got two votes. This is true if:
1.) Ausuka and Sakura voted Nero
2.) Sakura and one of {Gamma, You (Tora)} voted Nero
Because Nero absolutely got two votes in 100% of possibility spaces, that means that Math needed three. The voting rules make it very clear that Nero would have won a tie.
The simplest explanation is that remaining scum is {You, Gamma} and your team decided to roll the dice. I already pointed out how a conservative worst case could have made tomorrow game over if we had screwed up today. And it's not like there wasn't adequate lynchbait around. I kept going through Nosferatu's ISO looking for a rational case. Creature hasn't exactly shined this game.
Mechanically it makes the most sense to leave you be since you are power expended, but you aren't at all clear. Logically you can only be town if:
1.) Scum had some unknown ability to impose leadership out of accordance with the stated rules (which is borderline bastard since we were given very specific rules for how leader is determined, not to mention bad design and against the theme).
OR
2.) Ausuka forgot to leader vote
AND
Gamma is scum who voted for Mathblade
AND
there's a townie/scum who has yet to fess up to also voting for Mathblade.
Rationally speaking, it's really hard to even run with the premise that you're town right now. The evidence is pretty heavily stacked against you. It takes the moderator lying to us about how leader is determined OR a lot of low probability things all happening to clear you.
