Well, do you not think I would be trepidatious about doing it as scum? I think I would, for two reasons. One, because it's very easy to TMI, or go a little too hard, or to say something that isn't totally real that could potentially be noticed. And since I don't push often, it wouldn't be easy for me to do it in a natural-sounding way. And two, because there was definitely momentum away from SB for a bit after she claimed, and it wasn't totally clear that her wagon would go through. She was a PR, and I am not a strong scum player (and if scum, am presumably not a PR since I would have been the one to perform the kill), so I might not judge that it was worth risking her life just to prolong mine anyway, when my scumgame is known to fall apart eventually and thus I make a terrible deepwolf.
WRT to you thinking town you wouldn’t be pushing so hard
Well... isn’t that what you’re claiming to have done as town
Yeah, but I'm also claiming that it's very uncharacteristic for me. And thus it's something that I wouldn't know how I would go about it as town, or even if I would go about it at all (how can I read a case on someone I already know is scum and know whether town-me would pick holes in it or be convinced by it? Very likely, I would just assume that town-me would pick holes in it, because that's almost always what I do).
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
