Really as soon as it hit me that Jingle was Pine's partner, everything kinda flipped. Bingle did essentially the exact same thing to me as scum in Detective Penguin, appealing to my ego, town reading me when nobody else was, and i defended him throughout the game before my Day 4 misfade.
If Shea flips green here, I don’t think Norwee is getting pushed. It just seems to me that the only reason he’s being pushed here is as Norwee’s supposedly PR buddy and I don’t think they even make sense as a team here.
I think they make a lot of sense as a team, it's the going Status over Norwegian thing that doesn't make sense to me from their POV.
Status and Norwegian haven't pushed each other really at all.
Status pushes are on a directly different plane than Norwegian the entire game, so it makes sense to me that you missed it. You're really good at seeing what's going on right in front of you, and I'm the opposite of that, I look for what's going on behind the scenes. Norwegian/Status to me look like they've been powerhousing the game from multiple directions, and the thing that pinged me the most was Status going after Akarin when Norwegian and I were 1v1ing. It felt like he was trying to ease pressure off of Norwegian.
Norwegian/Ramcius team makes sense because of Ramcius pushing Norwegian the beginning of Day 2 and Day 3, but both days ended up pushing elsewhere, TGP and Status. Ramcius, if scum with Norwegian, they did a lot of scum theatre, but I never was able to remember anything about Norwegian vs Ramcius, and Norwegian was under a lot of pressure with Ramcius, and if the team is Ramcius/Norwegian, then Pine/Status is Town/Town, which means scum is on both sides of that, safe from a Norwegian fade.
Norwegian's cased Pine/Ramcius, and their sudden flip on me seemed like they were ready to turn on me if I ever flipped, and I really dislike Ramcius' immediate flip right after Norwegian flipped. It was gamestate positioning somehow, and i can see it coming from a town Ram, though, but that's in the Norwegian/Status world.
