I didn't engage you on this before, but my view was you were overlooking a much simpler answer for usesPython's actions;In post 1909, humaneatingmonkey wrote:1. Python's Day 1 performance, movement around gob counterwagon, and what it might mean for scum team's strategy.
They were performative.
usesPython claimed there weren't enough votes for gob. You took this as usesPython genuinely believing there wasn't. I took it as an act. I thought you were saying "usesPython knew there were the votes, why didn't they force through gob", my take is usesPython knew there was the votes, and chose not to as an act.
As Dannflor stated, scum were in control of D1 until near the end. They chose to direct things away from gob because they thought it was beneficial to avoid forcing through the gob wagon. It tells me there's likely at least one scum in the names usesPython listed as definitively opposed to the gob wagon;
If there's scum in these names, then the only way to get the gob wagon through would be to scumclaim. By deciding not scumclaiming is more important, it would mean they'd need a wagon the names within could safely pivot to without it being a scumclaim.
That would give 1-2 scum in {Naerys, Save the Dragons, T-Bone, JacksonVirgo}.
