You should not think Awaclus is skummy for defending themselves without tons of other contribution - they do it both as skum and town. That being said they are also pretty sharp, so you should think they are skummy for not realizing the obvious error in the Doctoring plan.
I did not think the Doctoring plan had an obvious error (but then I'm a newbie; I guess you're saying that sharp Awaclus should have noticed obvious flaws at once - I can't be sure, maybe it is scummy).
What I do find scummy is that Awaclus is now pretending that he liked a slightly different plan than the one he said he liked.
#121:
actually up to 4 places down from themselves. Say, doctors are 1 and 6, then 1 can heal 2,3,4,5 and 6 can heal 7,8,9,10. In no way doctors will choose each other
I like this plan.
#221:
The plan itself included the notion that doctors could choose to target the towniest person regardless of position.
Yes, LaLight had indeed been advocating a softer version in which doctors wouldn't necessarily choose from the expected pool (#119, #123).
But it appeared that Hydrad (#116), Awaclus (#121) and WestCoast (#124) were all for going with the simple version of the plan. And no comment yet from newbies Eddie, hypercube, Raptor (newish?) and myself all rather likely to go along with it...
So why didn't Awaclus at some point say "guys, this plan gives too much info to scum, we need to go with the softer version". Because now he is claiming that the softer plan is what he was liking all along.
