echoes of a distant past,
bodies die but voices last.
once were held within a cell,
your mind is where these voices dwell.

oh also the suggestion to no ex really peeves me. I hate a no ex. I don't think it's ever better for town.

categorically untrue

in the final day, no-ex is 100% mathematically better for town

4 players alive, 1 scum

you've got 3 targets to choose between. 33% chance you hit scum. if you yeet wrong, and scum kills tonight -- the game is over. scum wins.

now instead you no-exe, and we go into the next game day -- scum got a NK off, lets say

3 players alive, 1 scum

you now have only 2 targets to choose between. 50% chance you hit scum. if you yeet wrong the game is over, same exact scenario as yesterday, except scum has helpfully removed a townie for you to make the math more favorable

also the possibility that scum fumbles the NK or straight up gets caught by a night action or something but that's not actually the part that matters, it's the numbers game that matters. this is only true on the final day of the game like we are currently in

i'd be voting RWC (oh wait i can't vote no i wouldn't) if it wasn't for her advocating for no-ex today

no-ex just makes the game harder for scum when they're standing at the finish line about to maybe win a desperate solo victory after getting mostly obliterated by town all game

scum at this juncture are impatient and hungry

town keeps a cool head

in that sense yeah molly begins to look bad today but also i haven't bothered reading everyone's isos (each living player, and each dead scum) which i think is probably necessary to find the answer

but also i'm dead and it's not really my problem! any of my wisdom i dispense is akin to a divine revelation i benevolently grace upon the masses

I still see it the other way around. If rwc is scum, they can put in a bunch of work convincing 2 of us to kill the other today, or just do nothing today and do nothing tonight, and then go "I blocked molly/opop" and get an easy win tomorrow. It's a smarter play than taking the risk on an execution today

i mean it doesn't really matter? you aren't cursed by a malignant star and forced to listen to her words

even if you're 98% convinced she's scum, removing another townie before you yeet her is removing another doubt, however small that might be

this isn't actually a plausible scum play because the town response is to no-ex again and again and eventually the mod gets pissed off and tells scum they can't withhold anymore
