> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > This case feels like too much after the fact. I’m suggesting Idle Thoughts is a scum partner with TexCat, and with Johnny Bravo out of the picture and unable to say one way or the other, could coordinate this effort with TexCat to get maximum townie cred from her lynch by adjusting (and then calling out) her claimed JB clue. We have no way of verifying if a word really was left out, or even if this was really his clue, and Idle Thoughts was free to be the only one calling TexCat out on it. I find this unlikely. It’s Day 3, the scum are already down the godfather, so they decide to bus the backup godfather for cred? Going down 2 scum in 3 Days is a huge mountain for the scum team to climb. I don’t entirely follow Idle’s logic either. But we don’t all think alike in this game. I don’t see Idle’s vote as being scummy, just the product of a different train of thought from my own. ---

TexCat was already getting lynched at this point. Idle wasn’t “bussing,” just taking advantage of the situation as it lay. ---

Also Rysto, did you get a chance to do those reviews you mentioned in your large vote analysis post? I appreciated the effort you were going to in that post, but “not following through promised reviews” is a somewhat scummish sign ---

Mostly gut reactions – and late in the Day I’m Ok with the Darth votes – there have been bits about the player that seem ‘off’ to me [researching] D1 late voted Town over potential Scum lynch D3 voted both the front runners – again attempting to push \*\* Pizza \*\* into the fore ( who has IIRC been leading a charge against Darth from D1 ) At last vote count Darth didn’t even have a vote on Pizza ( their bane for the past Days ) voting those who are not very vocal and therefore unable to respond in kind And the newest attempt to make \*\* Pizza \*\* the runner up ( when there are other players for Darth to focus on- they chose the runner up to throw the biggest rock at –and it has been done before \*\* Vote Darth \*\* It really smells like fish to me \*\* Idle’s \*\* outbursts have been as distracting \* moreso to me \* as the \*\* Pizza \*\* boxes. I do note it seems “ he (\* Idle _)doth protest too much” \*\* Vote Idle \*\* \*\* Pizza’s \*\* brushes with greatness lead me to believe that he is not Scum_ – and his most recent posts lead me to throw a rock in his general direction for same- why the hades would you make yourself the front runner over the player you have been trying to lynch most of the damn game? • \* but I have been fooled before \* ---

Fair enough. I really wish these days would stop coming down to the last minute though. We’ve got a few too many non-participants to get a solid conversation going, I think. Without Scathach and wevets, along with other people chiming in sooner, you just get me and Idle sniping back and forth at each other, and nobody wants that. 😃 ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > **@LightFoot:**. Thanks for responding to my vote. You’re my weakest suspicion based largely on seeming non-participation. I’d love to see your thoughts on the vote-getters so far. > > [ > > All I wanted was an answer to “do you find them both scummy even though one is voting for the other.” > > I thought my posts were pretty on-topic most of the time in this game, I didn’t realize they were pissing you off so much. I’ll try to post less, I guess. Yes I do find them both scummy, scum have been known to vote for each other especially when they are not lynch leaders. BTW, you’re not pissing me off, I’m just a bit bemused by the amount of text you and pizza are generating in game.😛 ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > TexCat was already getting lynched at this point. Idle wasn’t “bussing,” just taking advantage of the situation as it lay. I was already voting for TexCat by that time. I voted for her in my very first post of Day Two. So your point falls apart there. You’re just scum trying to get a player who has correctly guessed two scum (Tex and more than likely you) out because…you’re scared? : p ---

[QUOTE=LightFoot;17186967 I do note it seems “ he (\* Idle \*)doth protest too much” /QUOTE] I’m bookmarking this post. Reason being, it’s happened SO many times in the past (People thinking I MUST be scum due to how I react to things or “protesting” too much or “having a reaction in spades” or whatever they call it). It’s happened at least 3 times before in 3 different games…all of which I’ve been Town in. You’d think, eventually, people would think “Hmm, well, I’ve seen Idle react this way before and he was TOWN then, so it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s scum.” Anyway, my point is, when I’m lynched and am revealed as Town, maybe then you’ll realize “Huh, I guess that reason was ful of shit and Idle protesting too much is just his way.” Bookmarking to save this post for future games, in case people try to say “IDLE IS CRYING OUT LOUD TOO MUCH, HE MUST BE SCUM”. Uh, no…in this game I wasn’t, so, there goes the weight behind that vote. ---

Anyway, if I am lynched toDay or die ToNight: There’s been one person who has started the bandwagon on me toDay because apparently he thinks: 1. I’m scum and wanted to lynch our own scum back up Godfather (after the Godfather was lynched Day 2) 2. Me having voted for **Texcat** must mean I’m scum and her and I were in cahoots and 3. Even tried to pressure me into revealing my clue, which he knows would benefit scum more and even despite me saying I’m going to hold onto it just in case Texcat DIDN’T have my exact clue reading. **And that person is ASTRAL REJECTION.** I strongly would suggest he get lynched next after my reveal. ---
