No, that's exactly my point--they were both scum, they were both goons, it makes no sense for Simenon-scum to favor one over the other. I was just confused with the application of 'egregious'. (Admittedly, I woke up 5 min before I posted.
) I mused a bit over the final nhammen votes once Psyche claimed a guilty on singer, as it would make sense for scum to protect singer-PR over nhammen-vanilla (or a better player over another, but singer isn't a spectacular player either way), but with both of them goons, that theory makes no sense--as you've seen, though for a different reason.
On a somewhat related note, this also gives you townpoints; you had the same gut reaction I had, revulsion at the singer lynch when she started acting obstructive and emotional, due to the similarities with Maf. Maiden. Your behavior doesn't seem contrived, it was a "ew, no, been there done that this slot is town BAD LYNCH BAD LYNCH" from someone who thought they had gone through the same scenario recently.
