Oh wow, Chuckie, I feel so dumb I missed it

Chalk it up to inexperience. This was my second game as town, and in Bioware, while I did fantastically, I died D1 and never had to re-read flips.
Zen, PM was mad scummy D1, but everything we said D2 was true. We admitted straight up to skimming and tried to make good on it but our D1 play just kept biting us the rest of the game. I thought you guys would've let up by D3 but was amazed when Swiss kept right at it and Zen ate a lynch trying to defend us 0_o
It became pretty obvious to me that Swiss was scum from that near the end of the day but town had so little trust in us at that point. I believed in a Swiss/Sold2 scumteam though. I should have been more firm I guess in my belief regarding Swiss being scum so that it'd be read in my flip, I guess, but nobody in this game re-read flips.
Regarding our D1 play, Edrees and I ended up both having monster weeks. Edrees was preparing for vacation and I was dealing with stuff on my lawsuit and brought in a contractor on my house. Each of us assumed the other was playing, and we kept getting prodded 0_o Then we both tried to make a speed re-read on the same day, but were having a hard time telling the players apart.
There were 12 hydras, but people kept posting out of their hydra so we were seeing 36 accounts posting and they started to blur together and we lost track of our reads on people because we weren't associating people's statements with their hydra account. We BOTH noticed the same thing on Zen, so we decided to run with it, and then thought Zen OMGUS'd us. We noticed Smarboy parrotting Zen, so decided to work with the assumption that one of the two was scum and kept at Zen through the rest of the day to get a reaction from one of the two players.
By D2, Zen was out for blood against us. We started to think that Zen was too aggressive to be scum; he'd completely lose town trust once we flipped town with how hard he was trying to lead our lynch. So we decided Zen was town but were left without reads and started contradicting ourselves scrambling to get one.
In all honesty, we jumped on DH because he was the only other person we could get lynched to save town from mislynching us, and he was grey. We didn't have THAT hard a read on him. But he flipped scum and all was good.
Went in to D3 having actually gotten a grasp of the game, and working under the assumption that Zen = town. Swiss got way too cocky at that point and started handholding dead Spaghebti and trying to make himself look townie. So we decided Zen = town, Swiss = scum, and tried to push that. Zen defended us and then Swiss jumped all over him.
I'll admit Swiss even made me question Zen, and I noted that, but Edrees held that Zen was town. That inconsistency made us look even worse V_V because I stopped sticking to my guns in hard statements just in case Zen flipped scum.
So yeah.
My worst game ever, definitely. Mostly because I entirely skimmed D1. Sorry guys...but at least we ate a mafia NK as a VT, which was the goal. My apologies for being a distraction.
