Interesting case overall ngl
This stuck out to me as well as I have first hand experience of refusin a demand from town flower a couple times before and feelin the results after
I forget the game but once was when I was PR'd as scum (the numbers instead of letters one fromm prof) and refused to break it
The other time was in fooj's last game as town when I initially declined to claim (which I quickly folded after rip
)
Both times I was scumlocked and pushed as a priority lynch
Gad lyin bout his claim and bein short with his supposed real one should've made him the confirmed path for her, fella is a good path overall cause of that imo
Definitely interested in the response to your case here
