I was once sort of scum - an assistant to the SK in a whisper-enabled game.
I had randed Pacifist, meaning I could protect someone from being voted/killed for the night & following day phase, but only every other day, and I won once I had two successful protects. I had been townsiding because my friend rolled infinite-shot vig with guilt, so the deal was because he didn’t want to use his action anyway, I would self-protect, he’d shoot me, and then I got points… unfortunately, he got outed and nightkilled, so I had to like, actually play to my role without my helper. It was so boring, given I could only advance my win condition every other day, so I publicly begged the SK to contact me, and somehow it actually worked.
What happened was that I contacted the mafia (we had good reads between us, managed to figure some of them out) and told them I’d protect their buddy. I lied, saved the protection for the next day, which was final 3, with me, a mafia member, and the SK. I was like “ohhh so sad that I couldn’t get my wincon, well I guess I’m kingmaker, the mafia helped me out so I’ll vote out the SK :)”. They thought they had won until the very last moment. The protection on the SK went through, they killed the mafia member that night, and we won together. Peace and light. Amen.
