Yeah, we didn't lead any ZOMGSCUMLIMS, but we *did* manage to not only stay under scum's radar, but also avoid Neighborizing scum and thus giving away our role. But I guess none of that matters because, y'know, it's just "lol house, shit town with shit reads and shit play". Igotchu.

Your work was, by your own statement,
mostly
role-related. (It is the definition of what I meant by "other slots did their own amount of work", which contributed to the win.)
Sakura Hana's, Toogeloo's, and even Romance's were not. Yes, Romance wasn't just the guilty; Romance also helped us in honing in on scum after the SirCakez guilty by contributing to the solve and logic used to box the scum in.
Bell did well to support the town by being his normal obvtown self;
You did well to support the town by setting up the right neighborhoods;
Dwlee did well by using said neighborhood to basically conftown themselves twice-over (once via Titus, the second via Toogeloo);
Titus did well by using said neighborhood to basically conftown Dwlee + you + tracking TC nowhere which conftown'd TC;
Mirio did well to draw the strongman NK N1 as a VT;
H1H2 did well to waste the scum's janitor and help protect town from it;
etc.
All of these contributed to the town win.
But the Scummies Steering Committee pretty explicitly wishes to limit the number of nominations for a Best Performance: Town nomination. Ideally, 3, MAYBE 4, stretched
to 5. (I disagree with that limit but *shrug*, outvoted every year when the topic comes up. I'm the main reason it hasn't been reduced even further or even outright removed because every year I have to fight to keep it as an award off the chopping/nerfing bloc.)
And if I'm forced to pick and choose the top of the top, the highest of the high performers, the three names I'd go for are Toogeloo for shutting the scum down with their flavor knowledge (and being able to decently POE things down anyway once given the resources needed), Romance not just for the guilty on a key scum role but also the play in having contributed to the deadly town POE after the guilty, and Sakura Hana for the mechanical boxing in of the scum by figuring out (correctly as it turns out) the scum strongman.
