I was thinking that if Earth is scum it's still a 3v1, and we can just VTNL since scum can only manipulate one vote, but then i realized there's nothing stopping scum from holstering until the 2v1. Also we do miss a lynch on the DP4 VTNL and I did the math wrong.
That being said, I don't like how it's so convenient Savant can't confirm his role, when everyone else with a confirmable role has. If he knew there was no utility in using it this DP, why not claim it last DP. Banana actually has (somewhat) of a point here. Keep in mind I townread Banana just like I do Savant, and Casey's janitor does look like something for the purposes of fake claim. I can say I know who both Joe Rogan and Howie Mandel are.
I really wanted to test Savant's willingness to claim here but he's right, so I got nothing from this. But I still don't like his ridiculous read on me from earlier, plus the arbitrary nature of the criteria for his reads in general. He pairs well with Mikal too and it pairs well with my townread on Earth. In general I feel like scum has me in a false PoE, and I don't like that either.
I also don't like how he just assumes Earth is going to flip town. scum slip?
