What's scummy is you defending Cirno so hard as to chainsaw me. There's no way you can be that confident. What's even more alarming is your main reasoning to defend him is that the unlikely KJ/VE possibility is attacking Cirno.
I'm "tunneling" because at this point it's obvious to me. I'm not scum, DavidX isn't scum, VE seems all too eager to lynch Cirno, you're defending him hard, Klazam is being ever-so-cautious and Cirno himself is lurking.
So I took the premise, "Maybe Cirno isn't ice scum. Who's the ice team in this case?" It can't be Krazy/Klazam, as they surely would've hammered by this point. Both players have had ample opportunity. I think VE/Krazy is unlikely because of the severe contrast in agenda today. And VE/Klazam didn't make much sense either, because I feel VE came out too strong at the beginning of D5 attacking Klazam. There's also some WIFOM I sprinkled into the equation here such as, "A VE/Klazam ice team didn't have much incentive to kill Empking."
After I cleared the former premise as false in my mind, it's all really quite simple. Cirno must be ice scum because there isn't a valid pairing that doesn't include him. His partner probably isn't VE, as I feel VE abandoned the Klazam lynch rather easily and jumped towards Cirno instead. Between Krazy and Klazam, Krazy makes perfect sense as Cirno's partner. He has for the entire game. From the light distancing D1, to the killing of Empking after he called their scumteam early on in the game, to the avoidance of each other in - I kid you not - every single vote count in the game, and finally to this incredibly contrived defense on Cirno. Also Klazam is kind of.. too skirtish to be Cirno's partner.
Here's how I paint the rest of the roles and how it makes sense with each player's agenda today.
- Cirno is ice scum and has completely flaked site-wide. Doesn't really have an agenda I suppose.
- Krazy is ice partner, he's defending Cirno really hard for relatively weak reasons. It had the feel of scum trying to prevent his partner from being lynched when victory is
oh-so-damn-close
, all he had to do was to speak up about how the lack of N3 ice kill doesn't 100% clear VE from being ice. And say it enough times to make it true (as if that would make it any more likely)
- VE is fire scum, and wants to get the day over as quickly as possible with an ice lynch.
- Klazam is legitimately cautious, and doesn't know where to place his trust. He reads completely as a townie that doesn't want to make the wrong decision.
- DavidX is watching from afar on his confirmed-town stool, trying to read the players so he knows who to lynch and who to put his next doc save on.
At least that's how my logic went. You can still call me tunneling town (aww what's wrong? too scared to outright call me scum?), but I think I've expressed why I can be so confident that Cirno is the best lynch today.
