Buddy, accidentally lynching an Indie for being scummy is a Town win, so don't worry about that.
In a game where we are allowed to have two claims per day, does Flower claiming Lie Detect, when the majority of the player base already knew that was what she was hinting at, feel like a Townie thing to do? And there's been absolutely no comment from Flower on that situation since; she's completely ignoring it. In a game where claims and abilities can be manipulated, focusing on abilities and who they targeted and what they might have revealed isn't a strong strategy, especially since we can't claim. I'm telling you from a game play stance, Flower has done nothing Town. She was obviously Silenced in D1, but she didn't make a move until she Lie Detected Cal D2. Cal constantly said that his claim or his flip would prove him right. If Cal was Wolf, I'm not sure he'd be advocating his own lynch and Vig shot. Flower tunneled Cal D2 and then had the most anti-town claim in D3. She's shaded players, including myself, non-stop, and as you can see in my responses to her, when I break down her shade, it really doesn't make sense other to just try to throw dirt on my name. Hiding behind mechanics, abilities, and meta, is the number one way for scum to slip by. No matter how much other players on this site want to say 'well that's just Flower and her anti-town town meta', you cannot excuse poor Town play like that, no matter what the situation or what's going on. If Flower is Town, her claim is game-throwing and should be policy lynched anyway. So for me, Flower is the lynch this phase and I don't really care if people want to say I'm tunneling.

I honestly read Cal as town at the start, and figured that Flower’s mechanical info on him was some form of mistake. Then Cal surviving his lynch was weird. Because he was talking like he wouldn’t survive the lynch.
Scum wanted to keep Cal alive, I have no doubt about that whatsoever. There’s no other way he could have survived the night. Scum just wanting to keep him alive to keep chaos going is a possible scenario I entertain. But I find it hard to believe he didn’t tank any attacks last night, and people say it’s rare for town to have 4+ lives.
Just based on probability it seems a horrible coincidence that the person Flower turned on mechanically also happened to be the very rare exception when it comes to town lifespan.
I’m new and this seems to be a highly confusing game even for seasoned veterans so I can’t help but feel I’m over my head. Right now I think Flower is probably town. I’m keeping a close eye on them though and depending on how some of these flips turn up and depending on future claims, I’m willing to turn on Flower quickly because I don’t totally trust them.
I scum read TAC and I highly suspicion Nat. And Cal worries me due to his seemingly gigantic health bar. There are others I read as possible scum too that are barely active but I don’t think they’re worth mentioning right now.
