I don't think we're going to win this game. In fact, I don't know if there's anything to be done to prevent handing scum a flawless victory. Maybe we should massclaim and try to catch scum more definitively.
That's a very defeatist attitude, but a mass claim is a very bad idea. If we have a tracker-reporter, then the moment they know who exactly they need to kill to win, they will make a deal with scum to make that happen.
What I want to say is "the only way we win is if everyone votes for who I'm voting for" but I feel like that's not going to fly. I guess I just need every town player to internalize that this lynch is going to be very, very hard and if for even a minute it starts to feel not hard that means it's probably a mislynch. I'm in a spot where, if even one of my scumreads votes for someone I immediately reconsider my vote on them (MiX is driving me crazy in this regard).
I keep coming back to e and gkrieg. I think they are our best bets. PPS could be scum but very well could be town. Same with ash. Same with, loathe as I am to say it at this point, MiX. pubby is definitely town. Glooble might be scum but I really doubt it.
gkrieg, for whatever reason, seems to be a nonstarter. That's why I think everyone should join me on e. It seems like our only hope for an achievable lynch that hits scum. But I know that pubby still thinks I'm scum for whatever reason, so he's not going to show up and join my wagon, assuming he even logs on between now and deadline. And we literally can't win without him.
So, yes, I'm being defeatist. But only because I'm pretty sure we're defeated. If you disagree, vote for e and restore my faith in humanity. I dare you.
