I don't have a legacy or whatever. So imma just write down some of my thoughts. I might be wrong on all these as these are just my assumptions. But here goes.
I played very very very horribly. I know that. That is why i claimed my ability. In the hopes of it being used to clear an additional slot and potentially take a scum with me. And also to avoid an innocent towny getting killed alongside me cause they had no idea what my ability was.
So, the suggestion that came from orca to make me self hammer seems insanely sus and stupid to me.
Basically, either i am scum and has the bomb - this scenario is very unlikely as Tpein already had a very similar ability as scum
I am scum and was bluffing about the bomb - In this scenario, there was no risk in making one of the players in the poe hammer me. Making one of the "vanilla" roles hammer me would have even given town another ability.
I am town - In this scenario, i am telling the truth about my ability. So why not use my ability to clear a sus slot from the poe?
The reluctance to make one of the poe hammer me benifits scum way more than town. Sure, if the poe hammer guy was town, that would have meant that town essentially lost two players at once, and a third player from the next night's faction kill. But, that risk was worth it from my pov at least.
The fact that the self hammer was suggested right as indigo was being put forth as the candidate to sacrifice is interesting. Maybe note that Orca was the one who suggested it.
What does Poe mean to any of you? What is gonna be the plan of action after my flip and the night kill? Who is gonna be the lynch candidate next day phase?
I doubt any mech info gets brought up. Cause so far it hasn't. (I have a theory that maybe the town invest roles and the town vig are all locked behind the vanilla coat roles.)
Anyway, with no new mech info to work with, all town has will be the info of my wagon. Who voted me and who didn't. And let me tell you, because of my horrible play, any scum who voted for me has had a perfect excuse to vote for me. And if any scum didn't vote, they can just use the time zone argument or something.
The point is, scum can easily set up another mislynch next dp too.
I have a feeling that the lynch next dp will be Indigo. If he is scum, good i guess. If he is town, That's 4 towns dead in the span of two days. Where as, if we had gone with one of the sus vanilla coat roles, town potentially would have lost 3 townies in one day. But also could have earned a power role from the vanilla coat mechanics.
The fact that town didn't want to make use of my bomb to clear the poe essentially means that town doesn't have a clear poe. There is no one besides me that town has a clear scum read on. This is D5. only two scum has gotten caught. there is potentially anywhere from 2-4 scum left. With a potential serial in hime.
So yeah, town is probably fucked. Unless the fatman game rewards some nukes for town. But scum could get them too. So town's win in this game depends on luck way more than any other games i guess.
