I started writing this post the other day before Brewers locked the game but it had already been locked before I could post.
I made a comment earlier on in the game that I didn’t believe there were going to be many power roles in this game. I was trying to drop a hint then about my role. Not only have we seen several VT’s lynched/killed already but I am also a VT.
Just because I'm curious, and also because I called out Kevin for not name-dropping his character lol, which VT character are you? As you said, this is a pretty crucial vote, so might as well lay all the cards on the table.
Sorry about this. I actually had to re-write that post originally because I lost what I had written. When I wrote it the first time I had included my character. Apparently I missed it the second time.

The vote for MK was completed by 3 people who had a reason to want him killed. Me and STP were called out to be FOS by him early in the game, MK also had a vote on velocity just because he's a kid. Then you vote velocity. Why? Because he didn't claim sooner. Doesn't matter that he's confirmed scum, you knew no better at the time, no town member did. Now for your point on Kevin about CM, you even claimed he could be scum yourself and I don't think it should be forgotten. Everyone who voted for MK had a reason, you voted for him because he didn't claim quickly, this is why I firmly believe you are scum.
This doesn't make any sense. You are basically saying that everyone who voted for MK had a reason to vote for MK. Your reason was because he called you out a couple times and nothing else. That is called an OMGUS vote when not accompanied by any actual reason.
I voted for MK because of a number of factors that I already laid out. The first was his bizarre fascination with you. I was not a part of that exchange but I took note of it because it seemed to be out of the blue.
The second reason was because of his sudden flip-flop and decision that you "weren't worthy of his attention anymore". Why would he just randomly say that after having focused on you on multiple days? Surely there must be a reason for him to decide that, right? And what could that reason have been other than him having some sort of investigative power that cleared you? At that point I was willing to believe that he might actually know something about you but I wanted clarification from him on that to be sure.
Then on day 3 it became clear that the lynch was most likely either going to come down to CM or MK. When the lynch was still in doubt, before it mostly became a foregone conclusion, Kevin appeared after being absent for several days and voted for CM. This could have easily been the vote that swung the lynch toward CM and away from MK (a now known scum). That was a rather careless thing for Kevin to do without much reason other than:
Vote: Colonel Medved
I tend to believe Lord MK and we need to lynch someone.
As the day went on and deadline approached, it became more likely that MK would be the lynch since he had 4 votes and CM had 3. I wanted to make sure that we had all the information possible to make the right call so I asked Mk to role claim. With him a few short hours from being lynched it was the right thing for him to do if he was town so that at the very least we would know everything he knew if he did get lynched.
MK then role claimed as a Cop. This sort of "verified" my thought process from previously that he must have an investigative role of some kind in order to suddenly change his mind about Tony. However, there was one problem with that. When he shared his night actions, Tony wasn't one of them. Instead of validating his flip-flop on Tony he mentioned Kevin's name and claimed that he received a town result on him. The fact that he did not investigate Tony was basically the third strike against him. It just didn't add up with his previous actions.
Now, the fact that MK included Kevin in his role claim is interesting in another way as well and it is one of the reasons I voted for him yesterday.
First of all, our role cop found Kevin to be a role cop as well. The possibilities for how that could have happened are limited but the two most logical explanations were that a redirector altered the investigation if we assume that the "Game of Life" format is what is in play here or that he actually was a role cop which would mean either Kevin or Velocity was scum. Even though it seemed plausible that we had figured out the game format we can't say with certainty that's what occurred and all we had to go off of was Kevin claiming to be a ghoul. For all we knew Kevin could have found an obscure role and claimed something that fit and was unlikely to be a role held by anyone else.
MK claiming to have investigated Kevin and finding him to be town could have been his way to distance Kevin from himself and possibly provide Kevin some cover for yesterday because he would most likely be one of the first people to be looked at after he chose not to vote for MK (a now known scum) and instead vote for the only other likely lynch candidate (CM).
Why would TW vote for MK if he was scum along side him? If they were together I would think that TW would just agree with Mks cop claim and go on with it. I think that TW is a scum but not the same type as MK. There are different factions in tiger king and he could be from doc antle, or maybe from carol baskin or peta. We don't know where MK was from.
I'm not really sure how this makes sense either. First of all, if I was scum with MK I would not have pressed him like I did at the end of the day. Instead, I could have questioned and pressed CM and if he didn't respond I could have easily used that as a justification to vote for him to try to save MK. And I'm not sure what you're getting at with there being different types of scum then MK. There are 5 players left in the game and we've only ever seen one kill on any given night in this game. There's no way that there are multiple scum factions in play in this game.
