Honestly I had a blast this game with you and Firebringer, my favorite was when Firebringer pulled out the receipts on Dwlee and asked if I was blind..because
yeah, I normally pick up on shit like that and instead Firebringer is running circles around me logically.
Felt like I was in opposite land, and it actually did worry me that my inability to process things would flip your read on me. Did not expect to enjoy your hydra nearly as much as I did!

his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

My experience with you in that normal game, where I town read you immediately on rep in, was definitely on my mind, and made me more skeptical of you in general.
I probably would have town read you this game if that game had not happened before it
People absolutely slept on IV this game; I did not solocarry this. IV was the definition of understanding the assignment, we decided to send me long but he set me up ridiculously well and was rolling Day 1. He also showed a ton of flexibility in the face of me being indecisive-blitz? no blitz? hope town goes in 6 anyway?-and adjusted to all of the possibilities very well.
I also straight up
did not expect everyone to flip on esther like that
, IV blew both his own expectations and my own out with that resurgence.
10/10 partner, he didn't play the three way but make no mistake, I lose every game without him
Since you seem to find the vote on you of particular interest, it might also be valuable to know that the initial decision to power through you (Todoroki) was actually made very early, I believe in the 5 minutes between 387 and 388 but am not 100% sure.
The unvote in 460 was purely performative, and had notscience given more I would have just used it to shove him. When he wound up interpreting that post a different way it definitely confirmed that choice but as I alluded to in the mafia PT I made the strategic decision very, very early when I saw the chance for it to work. It could have backfired but it did not so shrug.

Esther first forced me to commit to voting in 3, which is important. I could swap only if votes were not there.
Second, her play was strong and I read the winds incorrectly. I thought that at least 2/3 townspeople would have her as hardtown. If this was true, it loses scum the game on the spot IMO if IV flips and I don't have a good distance set up. This is likely a loss even if we make it to 5 way ELO (eg. 2 of Dunn, Dragons, Dwlee, and then Esther voting there). Again though I read the winds incorrectly and this was likely a mistake.
Finally, I actually could not afford to let Esther herself get flipped. This is because I no longer have the clear to nightkill. I have to justify living through 2 more nightkills (Brighter+?) instead of just one (Brighter). You saw how bad living through even one was. I preferred to give town the extra elim instead.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!
