Oh, you thought they had equity?
Flower was definitely in her town range, she doesn't usually delegate to her town reads so openly to lead and gets exhausted quite easily (like me) if she's doing most of the work needed for solving.
Do you have trouble reading her or were there things in particular linking you to your scum reads that had you read her as scum?
Trying to understand your viewpoint. I don't want you to automatically assume that this is forever lost.
Look at it in the reverse: you've indirectly (even if not intentional) cleared Flower to prevent a mislynch on her and made sure that a player who is read as scum from the majority of us could not interfere as I dies and their ability usage are wildcards and they can easily shoot town even if they're townsiding.
So in some sense, there's an unfortunate positive to this as it does help us solve, and it does help us go back to take some time to ISO Flower and see what breadcrumbs she left us (and which were wrong reads.)
