the reason DS dodged the thunderdome and got help from his team to do so would be
a) samoyed is scum and trading two mafia for one town was absolutely not what he wanted to happen
b) he was unwilling to risk trading for two townies, indicating that he thought his survival was crucial to his team winning ? Nuxl was in a decent position at the time but was often afk, so that'd point to drookez/cs more than to nuxl's slot ?
Yes, but my point was that it was nuxl (and hal because hal sheeped nuxl) who switched the vote to sb. That means that nuxl was the person who would've helped DS./Samo in that situation.
