A thing I noticed was that there was no interest in Giga what so ever beyond consensus town reads.
In a previous game I pulled a gambit where I posted a case against OB!Town to fish for scum wanting to endorse a mislynch. (Game was Mini normal 1838 if anybody is interested) Scum did in fact take the bait, unfortunately the scum in question was a strong town read so I dismissed it.
While it wasn’t my intention when I posted the “reasons Giga should not be town read” I couldn’t help but notice that there was zero interest or agnkowledgement about what I was saying. If Giga is truly town then why doesn’t scum capitalize on the paranoia I created?
I checked Sling shot and saw nothing that stood out to me as a crumb.
If Giga is being honest then this is practically a scum slip.
Also should be noted that Giga who frequently utilizes NKA fails to mention that Sling kill is a strong point against Grendel!Scum. Sling was Ob!town but poor at interacting with other players, and forming meaningful reads. He was town reading me, and odds are I could have kept it that way.

grendel's push on me isnt scum motivated necessarily, it is something he will eventually have to do as scum but it's a legitimate thought he would have as town. i think nero's responses to me (and his selfhammer) though should be telling enough that he's wrong. i have yet to look at how he's reevaluated if at all
i think vedith's bullheadedness is scummy here and i would expect him to maybe be more suspicious of me as town but his case might be town (has vedith put in that much effort into a game as scum?). will have to comb through it closely
hiraki...... i will feel horrible about if he's town (same with grendel but i'm more confident he's town here) but poe is making me like him less
i really don't see ccc's play as scum motivated, just bad and irrationally rational if that makes sense. he only deserves a second look if hiraki is town, i think kraska's point with Accountant complaining about VI's is salient here and makes them unlikely partners
backhand fits the bill of someone distancing from nero but that also means he's likely to be town too - i also dont think i've read any of his posts until i joined the game so??
this is a fuckton of waffling but this is specifically how i'm waffling atm. will see if new posts affect any of these thoughts.
Giga really should be seeing a BackhandxHiraki team at this point, but opting to vote me when they clearly can see I’m town is bad in general.
HirakixGiga is very likely if you consider my lynch today being a deliberation on Hiraki’s lynch.
Nero’s responses to Giga don’t point against a S/S relationship. Its standard reactionary stuff that scum could pull off easily when distancing. Like most scum aren’t going to uncomfortably lurk out the thread when getting bussed. They would want to help maximize buddies town cred through arguments.

ccc doesnt make sense with the gamestate as scum.
This is a lot of assumptions about a player that Giga claims to not know well enough to meta. Its wholly unbelievable to me.
What’s more is that if they did believe it they wouldn’t have “:neutral: ” voted me.

VOTE: grendel
ftr i dont have a good feeling about this but i dont really see a better choice with vedith's claim
Shoddy compromise vote. I’ve been bleeding town Since D2 but Giga doesn’t want to admit and stick to that conclusion because it won’t help their win-con.
