Also... that doesn't even make any sense. Hard defending your partner is the dumbest possible strategy in this setup, considering scum only need to win one minigame to win.
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!

Well yeah. If 3 people work together to make sure they win 1 of the groups it's GG. So going hard defense is valid if your going for a nice double elim win.

How is that possibly viable from the POV of me/Ana/RM, though? Like with all the pressure on me am I really getting both Llama and you killed?

Well I can't speak for you but I guess that's what Vex tried. You just replaced into a bad position.

This is a very strange response. Bambi did vote me, so what are you asking?

The way that people are grouping my pair and you indeed makes no sense at all for this reason. It's also why I find it irksome that both pairs seem opposed to consider bussing and intentional distancing as factors.

Seems like a flail.

So we're certain VFP will hammer right? Cuz otherwise I guess we run out the clock for plurality.

Town: Bingle
Lean Town: VFP
Null: Bambi, TBone, RM (in order)
Lean Scum: Kerset
Scum: Ana, SS

Well, I'm just confused why it was abandoned. It's plurality voting, it's not as though inability to get a majority was a problem.
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!

I think my money's on Llama scum, though I'm not terribly confident in that. I don't see what scum-Bambi expects to gain by continuing to argue I'm scum.

Probably because of the scenario that happens if you vote him... which why arent you really?

If you wanted to hammer on me, the time is up but if you are Town, which I believe you are, it was a great hesitation even though it ended this way. I am Town.

You should out as many reads as you can.

You believe the team to be Llama, Kerset and Bingle correct?

That team is certainly viable but I find Tbone and VFP to be too scummy, they invented reasons to scum read me and backed away now that you became viable, that tells me enough. Nonetheless, Llama, Tbone and VFP is also viable and this is why you being elimimated is terrible as you're the only vanilla claim I firmly see as Town and you being alive assists the solve for me a lot.

If S_S were scum here, he'd not be saying what he's saying. He is Town. It is absolutely blatant to me. He even dumbtold that he forgot I was voted.
