READ MY FIRST POST. Even if we lynch scum today and I shoot town tonight (and I might accidentally shoot scum!), town has a higher win rate.

Yeah, no.
If we lynch BH, we lynch someone that admitted to being anti-town.
If we lynch zelblade, we lynch someone who we think is anti-town.
I have no idea why any townie would chose the first option over the second.

BECAUSE IT HELPS YOU. Because after you lynch me, tomorrow, you're gonna be at 5-3, and will have to survive 3 days of LYLO. You know your odds are slim. Take a look at my plan! It makes the town odds better. It makes mafia odds WAY WORSE. Yes, it admittedly gives me a chance to win-- that's why it's my plan-- but I'm only pitching it because it holds up to scrutiny. READ IT.
Scum don't like my plan cause it makes it very hard for them to win. They may even have to waste another bullet on me!

This is all assuming you ARE sk.
Which you aren't.

But I am! Do you really think that scum could pull off an N1 NK? What was my plan for the N1 NK when there was only going to be one kill?
Here's an infographic for those of you who don't get the ramifications of my plan:

Like I think we all know that a vigi fakeclaim isn't really doable as scum in this setup, but is TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE as SK. Like, the reason I figured Pandain wasn't a vigi was that it wouldn't make sense for there to be an SK AND a Vigi (since, given the role choice WBG presented me, to appear town to claims or to have an extra night life, I assumed we had a cop).

Something I'm still waiting for an answer on.

You forget, the only thing that we have to prove that you actually are the SK is your claim. There has only been one night kill the entire game so far, so we can't even be certain that there is even an SK in the game.

So your story is "oh, BH isn't the SK. He was scum trying to fakeclaim as vigi, and he'd totally have some way to justify the single NK N1 as a vigi"
cause that's a bad story.
Look, that aside, check out my zelblade case. Good case, yes?

Really? No other comments?
Like, ok, at the VERY LEAST, let's assume I'm an SK trying to help town lynch scum, and let's try to talk about Zelblade. As a town player, you must assume I'm trying to lynch scum today (since if we lynch town I MUST hit scum overnight or lose). That way, after I flip SK, you at least have some discussion on something other than "BH is SK"
I suggest this for two reasons. 1) it might get people to take me seriously and 2) IF YOU'RE TOWN, COME ON, ACT IN YOUR INTERESTS.

Here's what town is thinking right now: "Wow blazinghand is either really desperate SK, or maybe a really desperate scum who was really really stupid N1. I may want to lynch him just cause he's the SK and may be Mafia, but I'm gonna read his case on Zelblade anyways cause it might be reasonable, and we need something to discuss anyways."
Here's what scum is thinking now: "BH is a threat, and I want to make sure there's no discussion D3 that could endangerous our impending victory. Better NOT discuss anything important here, just talk randomly about BH. Discussion bad. sheeping good."

Here's what I'm thinking right now:
"Wow, blazinghand is really scummy, self admittedly antitown, and has made a quarter of the posts in the entire thread."
Stop spamming.

If you think there's any chance I'm an SK, you will take a look at the case I wrote about zelblade and you will respond. If you're town and not scum, you're not afraid of WRITING OUT YOUR OPINION BEFORE I FLIP.
You know this to be true.
Quit dodging.
Help town.
Discuss.

Every town player should take note at who wants to only discuss my (basically unavoidable) lynch, and who wants to actually discuss other things. What makes sense to you, town players? What seems like something scum would do where they want to just point back on it and said "Look, i helped lynch an SK!" while at the same time shutting down important discussion time leading into 3x LYLO?
What makes sense as town?
Accusing me of spam and ignoring the case I've made entirely, shutting down discussion?
Or reading and responding to my post talking about my motivations (link) and my case against zelblade (link)?
Keep track of who does what for when I flip.

BH as I understand your argument a fairly large part of it relies on you missing town WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING FOR TOWN. I'm sorry but you don't suck that much, this is convincing and all but you had to admit that at many of these points you are trying to screw town and we basically need you to screw up to not lose, as I said earlier I am not relying on you not screwing us intentionally or by accident.

Ok, that's a fair point. But let's say I do everything perfectly and hit town!
There's still the chance mafia will shoot me, thinking they'll fare better in 3-1 than in 2-1-1.
Then, even if we get to 2-1-1, all we have to do is lynch a townie and town gets a 50% winrate due to kingmaker scenario! It's no problem.

And believe me, if Town had a good chance of winning at this point I'd be screwing you guys and not scum. I'd LOVE to screw you guys, but you don't have much win% for me to TAKE from you at this point. I *have* to screw scum.
