On my iPad for the next two weeks or so, if I remember you'll have more thoughts from me when i get back. Some brief points now:
1. Policy lynch Marv on D3, or at the very least put some serious pressure on him. His excuse for being alive was just really fucking convenient. Plausible, but really convenient. It worked because it came at lylo and town was really insecure. The kind of pressure needed to find Marv should have come earlier and harder.
2. Very well played by scum. Imho a Marv lynch should have happened, but even so I think Zbo would have gotten Hapa lynched before himself, securing the victory.
3. As I said in scumQT, there really was no alternative to the modkill. Waiting for BL to not vote would have been an option, butt would have fucked town over completely if they had opted for a no-lynch. Particularly as BL would not have been around the next day, at lylo, either, making it effectively a scum victory by default. To leave town with any chance, we had to modkill him at the start of the day. While slightly disadvantageous to scum, by taking out one of the dodgy looking inactives, it left you guys with plenty of opportunity to seal the deal... and you did.
BL is a member of town, so that's exactly what should have happened. And he wouldn't be around the next day, because he'd have been modkilled. Town aren't going to no-lynch in a 2 scum situation, that's a really silly rationale for basing your decision on. Town still had the balance of votes even if BL was alive and not voting.
