Exactly correct.
In the first case, I think we just got “lucky”. I think Pleo made a sloppy play because he was busy IRL. It worked out, and that’s good as far as it goes, but I don’t ascribe any brilliant detective work to anyone.
In the second case, Cookies took - at best - an unecessary risk by killing when it was not required.
So, yeah you don’t get “credit” for getting lucky, and you get “blame” for killing Town when you didn’t have to.
Why do you conflate the two dissimilar incidents?
PS - I’d like to commend you for admitting you had your facts wrong yet again when asserting that Red was confirmed. Oh wait, you didn’t do that at all. Commendation Rescinded.
You have constantly voted for me, and every single time you have either had your facts wrong (and then insisted that didn’t really matter), or displayed such brilliant reasoning as we see here.
===
I can’t really offer up a defense because the votes against me are garbage:
Chronos, who can neither summon the facts nor a coherent reason to back up his vote.
Idle, who appears to be voting because he’s still butthurt from Day One. He’s studiously ignored the fact that Pleo threatened to vote against me if I switched, mainly because it’s devestating to his case.
Meeko, who can’t even count to 3 meaning: A) not only did the entire math of something bad happening by not lynching Cookies totally go over his head, but B) he’s basing his vote on his prodigious math skill detecting a “PIS”.
*On preview I see someone has given Meeko his medication and, becoming lucid, he has unvoted me. *
Pants, who offers no reason beyond “Day One voting”.
Wolverine, who apparently doesn’t even think I’m Scum.
===
I don’t think Pants is Scum, because he was either the first or among the very first to vote Pleo (despite Chrono’s hackneyed attempts at the start of that Day to vote me).
Same thing applies to Idle.
It’s not proof, and despite them both being poopy heads voting me, I don’t think Scum would jump on (and stay on) a fellow Scum so early.
Likewise, barring some unlikely reveal or counterclaim, I don’t think Red is Scum.
Further I know I’m not Scum. You can go back after you lynch me and if you have the intellectual capability evaluate my reasoning in the light of your epic failure having killed yet another Town.
===
So, that eliminates 4 people from my consideration, leaving us with (based on post #807):
-
Wolverine
Outside posting anything beyond “I don’t think this guy is Scum, but I’m voting for him anyway” there’s nothing there. Leaning Scum. -
ScubaBen
I don’t think he even voted yesterDay. I’m not sure at what point you think someone is lurking too much, but I really, really don’t like the idea that a player doesn’t even vote. Leaning Scum. -
suburbanplankton
Generally agree with his reasoning, but he doesn’t seem to be the first to put it out there. There’s the whole pronoun thing to. Leaning Scum. -
Meeko
Deplorable math skills, but hasn’t done anything I’ve seen scummy. Leaning Town. -
astralrejection
Consistently votes Wolverine. Most ineffectual Scum player ever or a Townie truly suspicious? Leaning Town. -
cometothedarksidewehavecookies
I’m not going over Cookies’ case again. She should be dead, but obviously has bewitched people in some sort of weird voodoo ritual. The sad thing is a Cookie vote toDay is more uncertain than one yesterDay. -
storyteller
I don’t like the partial claim, especially because it just so happens that we can’t verify anything about it. Seems awfully convenient. On the fence. -
Chronos
Couldn’t get his facts straight with a ruler. Couldn’t summon a coherent argument with 7 virgins to sacrifice and a pentagram made from Spock’s ashes. Leaning Scum.
