We're arguing opposite sides of the same coin.

My point is the pressure needs to be on forcing specific pairs, and people's response to THAT pressure will determine if they are trusting. The person being lynched that day is still the person who appears most likely to be scum, so you still expect the game not to end based on actually hitting scum on 7. Based upon the way he and Isquen played the day of 9 they SHOULD have been scum. I would not have found them to be believable at all if I didn't already know who the real scum were. They absolutely played like 2 scum who didn't have any other option but to use their date on 9 to murder someone else and then try to talk their way out of it on 7, effectively forcing town to lynch one of them on 7 or just lose outright. In that spot I would assume they are both scum, but I still wouldn't want them to be blown up. Lynching 1 of them continues the game AND allows a hedge on the remaining pairs. You swap me into that exact spot as town and I would be convinced that Ulti and Isquen were just brazenly behaving that way as scum who felt like they were running out of room.

I would have WANTED town to go along with my 4 person plan if I thought the remaining 2 scum had to be found in a 4 person block on 9.

You want all the pressure to be on the forced bomb. I want all the pressure to be on the forced pairs, and still only lynching 1 person. But in both instances we're using the pressure to go along with specific activities to read someone's response.
