That’s more generally known as a “shitpush” not a “bus”.

I just checked on the wiki and no, I'm wrong. Just substitute "throw under the bus" with "bus". That's what I meant.

If that sentence was to be taken at face value, I would have actually claimed scum with another player, which is obviously against the rules. Sorry for the confusion. For the record, I think that
Vivax
would have been better off pushing me when it was still viable to do so if he was scum.

replacing Greeting. deadline will be frozen at 24 hours remaining if i don't find a replacement until then.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

Not a fan of this sudden replace out. Could my initial sr of Greeting have been right?

I don't really know what to make of this.

On one hand, I feel like Greeting's probably been around long enough to know what bussing means, but also this wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone erroneously using "bus" as a generic term for scum pushing an elimination, so it's not COMPLETELY unbelievable of a mistake.

But also also, this does quite conveniently line up with my existing theories surrounding Vivax so... I think I'm content to stay on Vivax, and deal with Greeting's replacement when they get here.
Maybe the real Mafia was the friends we made along the way

hmmmm yeah that was a terrifically awkward post and subsequent replace out lol. I'm similarly not confident it's a 100% slam dunk but it certainly feels harder to imagine coming from town

best case scenario is I am just wrong on Vivax and Greeting is also scum and the game is easy mode. I probably backed down on that Greeting SR too quickly

Eh. Kitty reasonably likely to be a bit, defended Lokie without actually
giving a read there and in general is pretty sparse with reasoning, and as of last posts ended up shrugging off responsibility to sheep.

looking through Greeting's past posts in completed games with use of the word "bussing" (MS wouldn't let me just search "bus") to see if this has ever come up before, I found this post where Greeting responds to Dorsey (a town player) using "bussing" in a similar way, referring to a townie being voted by scum. So it's not entirely impossible that Greeting thought this was a correct use of the word.

I still don't really see any reason to TR KittyTacky here. He's only placed two votes on Greeting and on Vivax and for both of them he said he was "sheeping". As a baseline I think town would demonstrate more original ideas or scumreads.
