Tried to think of who I would kill if I were scum. I wouldn't be attacked because I was gonna get lynched anyway, Dad same thing (turns out he was scum anyway lmao), Vanessa/unravel/Farobi have been iffy/suspected and so probably wouldn't die either, toads just came in, and I figured Dolby was a scum so he wasn't going to die either.
It was between you and Punchy for the protect and I reasoned since Jacob (semi-prominent townie) died first, you may follow suit and I didn't want to lose your voice of reason. Figured scum might keep Punchy around because his bickering with Temptations is likely a welcome distraction.
