Something that I was thinking about over the past day: it is weird to me that what I thought was maybe the worst play for scum/town is what almost wound up winning each the game.
For scum, I was so confused when Shad and Han were content to let Puns die. For almost no reason, too! I've actually seen this before, it was in Valve Mafia (Chris and MI were in that one with Nana and other people too I'm forgetting now). Chris and I spent the latter part of Day 1 yelling at each other and forcing each other to claim (we both lied and caught scum with powers at night). Midway through our screaming match, someone on the scum team does...something (I don't remember) and we all turn on him (Chris/MI/Corrik/me) and he winds up mod killing himself. He was scum something. Then we have a contested day 1 lynch where Nana and Person X both wind up helping us decide it. It was scum RB. So we finished two scum down including RB and it wound up being a 3/4 day town romp. BUT Nana and Person X were both scum. Luckily Nana's fake claim was so bad we caught him any way (I forget how we caught Person X or even who that was), but I was genuinely confused at first because "why the hell does scum kill their RB"?
Well, because they were scared. "I didn't know what else to do"/"what if he flips scum later and then town sees me jumping off and gets me too!"/etc etc etc. I think the same thing happened here. Shad and Han couldn't think of a good reason to get off (hint: town very often uses bad reasons to get off random day 1 lynches) so they just stuck on him and came within ONE "Scare realizing what votals were" vote of losing their RB day 1.
It could've cost them the game. But instead it helped buy Puns so much town cred (on top of what they did on top of that going forward) that they cruised to a victory without so much as a single vote on Puns.
(Also I think if Chris is here that never happens because seriously bussing your RB for no reason on day 1 WHAT WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING.)
Again though, it worked for them. "So what the hell do I know" I guess. Just a general reminder going forward "scum wouldn't almost kill their RB right away". Well...usually not. I've seen it twice now (and I'm almost positive Corrik almost killed his RBer in Wrestling Mafia day 1 too - some people have different play styles and it can really mess with people's heads).
Player X was Uwnim and Corrik gladiated him Day 3. ---
