Have you ever considered having to read someone who applies so little effort that he won't even try to read enough of the thread to inform his positions is, politely, aggravating? It feels like you're having to be carried simply because you refuse to commit to what should be a basic expectation. Do you want a medal for reading me as town here or something?
That is down the drain frankly when you're including me in a tertiary PoE when I should, by and large, be confirmed town. Not as much as Ultra, but I'd wager a comfortable second or third.
Ekko you're appealing to the idea that a scum team that signed off on bussing themselves with a duel is going to be playing optimally. I'll be blunt, the mafia play this round has been absolute garbage. I know I misread CP, but let me actually add some nuance to that. I had him in my PoE list, and my primary defence of him was I couldn't see him being scum with Psychic. The reason for that was because I had overestimated him, which you can argue he may have played into which is fair, but I couldn't reconcile him allowing Psychic to botch her claim that badly and then call it out. Do you know the reason for that inability to reconcile it? Because it's garbage. By making that claim, Psychic went from a plausible Day 1 lynch to a lock, and CP positionally gained little from it. No other scum flipped got anything from bussing her.
Like Christ, just yesterday RDK came into the thread and apparently thought his best bet was to suspect Ultra? It's objectively terrible Ekko, it works in that it provides a WIFOM defence for them but that defence isn't likely to hold for long and once you cut past it they have nothing. It's the kind of play that might buy a phase, but with nothing tangible to be read from it's just not effective. The duel might have bought Evans some time but once that gets back to being scrutinised it would be apparent that there was no real trail to track his thought process which would then put him right back into PoE. It feels like the whole scum team this round has relied on "but it's too bad for them as scum" or level one distancing without putting in some groundwork to build up to it.
All of this is to say, asking me to assume that the scum team would suddenly act cohesively when it feels pretty apparent that most of them were mailing it in isn't really doing it for me. You've also played against me as scum enough times to know that I'd not be seen dead performing along with this stuff, if any of this is genuine you need to stop donkeying around.
