Elsa.
I like to pull "silly" gambits myself, and I don't find any trouble keeping secrets from the rest of the town if need be, BUT...I really feel you crossed a line with that stunt if you really are town here.
I remember us having a similar discussion about the "survivor-mentality" back in the day when you were JayDragonKing (or something close to that
can never quite be sure which it was).
I absolutely dislike townies playing survivor, and I'd always rather find myself baiting for a NK or "surrender to being the lynch" if it benefits town more.
Because playing the opposite way always benefits clever scum more. (note the word "clever". Not every scum can take advantage of it I guess)
You really should be the lynch for that decision you made.
And you saying that we did catch scum because of it..? Sure.
But in an optimal scenario you would've been shot by the SuperSaint, and S_S would've still been the lynch yesterday.
AND instead of you, McQueen would still likely be alive.
So even if you were to be town, then you traded another townies life for your own and call it fair.
