First off, it was an almost-sweep - 5 scum lynches in six days. But I think it's even cooler than the numbers make out. A lot of sweeps have two factors behind them - either the investigation roles get a lot of work done, or the scum chain themselves together too obviously. In this case, the scum were bus frantic, and roles only caught one of the five. Check it out:
D1, Vi nails Gammagooey almost instantly based off of his response to "What do you think of spending Day 1 working together?". Yes - that's literally what happened. Vi strongarms a lynch and bam, strongest scum PR down.
D2 was the role catch. And yeah, it's true that thenewearth misread his role and did an action he knew would fail on someone they suspected would be watched. But AngstyMatters still deserves credit for the way he got the lynch secured. He watched thenewearth target someone who
lived
, so hardly a definitive catch - but he gambited and lied about exactly what info he had to nail thenewearth.
D3, the town forces through an extremely fast lynch on hp [leaves] when he's not even around to claim. They were that certain, just based on dayplay - and they were right.
D4 was the coolest to watch. Maxous claimed bodyguard after being pressured. The town had a claimed tracker/watcher alive. So, it's in their interest to leave him alive, EVEN if he's scum, since scum can't risk killing the strong PR. But even with that...AngstyMatters comes out with
a beautiful pair of posts and takes the risk of lynching the claimed bodyguard - and again, he's right.
D5 was the mislynch. Well, everyone gets one.
D6. The last scum is a fruit vendor, something I knew would throw a lot of people. People were wagoning hither and yon, with many players outright stating they wouldn't lynch the fruit vendor...and in comes Sajin,
categoricially listing everything Monkey said about his role, pointing out the contradictions. Game, set, match.
Steamrolls are one thing. Steamrolls in the matter of D4, where a high-percentage conservative play is put aside because the town is so certain, and they're right? You don't see that everyday.
