I did not want to be "deep wolf" this game but it just played out that way
It was hard because most everyone on the team had at least a few SRs and I'd just had that bad experience in Xeno 2 where I took the rest of my team down with me
So if I had died I was hoping a lot of towncred would go to my buddies

I've never been able to convince anyone of anything in games I play so tbh I doubt I could have saved anyone here if I had not bussed

Yeah it’s hard trying to calculate how much to bus
I can point out one recent scumgame where I thought I was the deepwolf option and ended up screwing things up when that was wrong.

Except for this game I think I've been elimmed in over 75% of games since I returned
I think I'm not charismatic enough or have enough presence

you don't just spontaneously bus when your partner isn't in range of actually dieing, or when there's no reason for you to be voting your partner, or in setups where bussing players increases towns chances of winning.

Its not about saving your partner, its the fact that you're the informed minority and using your strength in numbers because when bus you give up ground for no reason.

If ur scum in this setup and its d1, it takes 9 townies to kill 1 scum.
Or it could take 5 townies and 4 scum to kill 1 townie.

I appreciate the advice people are giving me here
I think you should go back and reread your d1 and d2 play wrt blitzo in particular. I noted a couple of times in the spectator PT that I was surprised how heavily you were shading him, it was like you took every opportunity to do so. I guess its possible you didn't even realize you were doing it. That's the cool thing about looking at things after the fact.

Yeah I know. I think what you're underestimating here is the concept of momentum in a game of mafia. The more players actively mentioning someone as suspicious and bringing them up (and back into the consciousness of the town) and listing them in scum pools the more other players who had them as null or null-scum will start to consider them. This builds a momentum to a elimination going forward because part of what people will think of when they think of that player is "oh, that's the guy who like 4 people mentioned as being scummy."

It's ok to mention people as potentially scummy or get into fights for distancing but when you do it over and over again you just increase the likelihood of that player actually being eliminated. This is correct sometimes but its a balancing act.

(I'll be releasing PTs sometime in the next few days, might do it in batches. Its only several million of them.)
