Tbh, I still don't know why Shar-teel got lynched. The threshold for voting was so abyssmally low this game that I spent my entire time trying to stop flash vote trains rather than come up with strong cases against scums. This is evidenced by the long trail of lynched Townies the town left in their wake.
The evidence against Shar-teel was never really there until she got embroiled in that mess with Jaheira, but that was well after the votes started piling up against her. If you look at her main accuser it was FM Branwen. Branwen received credit for picking her out as scum, but his job was to try and get killed. I think he was deliberately dropping scum-tells everywhere and picked one of the most pro-town players in the game to accuse, in the hope it would backfire and get him lynched. There was a reason he gave us 4 different role-claims. He wanted us to kill him.
So in my mind, lynching Shar-teel was more of an accidental payoff than a deliberate success. I'm voting her for MVP, and Valygar as second. I love it when scum play in the open and that's what these two (and others) did. Shar-teel really came off very pro-town in my eyes, and she fooled me 100%.
I don't think any townie is deserving of mvp. Some played well, like Imoen, but unfortunately she died before she could make a great impact. Kivan had the advantage of being a confirmed Town, which should have allowed him to be a full town leader, and to his credit he tried to utilize that. His night actions didn't have any major effect on the game. After his reveal, Cernd should have been another confirmed town leader, but instead elected to not take control of the chat and lead. This was disappointing. Although Cernd's reads were sometimes good. He also seemed to disappear for 95%/all of Day 6 and I'm not sure if he even posted that Day. Garrick and Ajantis tried and worked hard, which is often all Explorers can do, but I think they were sometimes misguided.
MVP for Shar-teel I think.
If you made me choose a townie to vote too, I would probably say Kivan.
