Didn’t see a reason to bump a different thread.

In a couple of weeks, I intend to go back and reread the game. I’ve never had so many people (y’all in the unspoiled thread but also scum in their private forums) incorrectly peg me as scum. I suspect it’s just because it’s been a long time since I played with this particular group of people and my usual style translated to scummy. Or it may be that my suspicion of a 3P was against the accepted meta of this group. Or it may be that my play was straight scummy until late game and I never realized it. Certainly a combination, but I wonder about the ratios.

The really weird thing is that, despite it all, I never came under any real lynch pressure until the extreme endgame and even then Biotop was still the (slightly) stronger candidate.
