This is another point I wanted to raise toward I think whatever Orca brought up?
Literally the reason as to why her current play isn't lining up with her historical town play is /because/ she's indie.
Let me present you with a theoretical:
There is no logical reason for her to make a cacophonus outburst because as scum it only draws unnecessary attention to one's self. If you're basing it off as "well, she can get away with it so that's why she needs to get in the bin" ask yourself whether it makes sense any scum team would allow this. This only really works if it's 1) a stronger scum team with atleast one expert manipulator 2) they are confident in their ability to take the heat off her from the getgo.
Why do this???
It's far too convuluted as a strategem when there are far more efficient ways to secure a thread position for her if she were scum.
She's indie.
She's openly scum siding out of self-pres which makes sense from an indie POV generally, too. Not really a fan of the begging and pleading being so utterly transparent, mind you, but everything else checks out.
At this point, forcing a lynch on Flower over other candidates is just hypertunneling, not on anything based on logic or concern over the slot being detrimental.
