The more I think about AH’s case, the more it rubs me the wrong way. She’s pushing for perfect play at the expense of good (a doomed strategy that looks good at first), and voting for JSexton because he…what. Found PFK? Pushed a lynch passionately? I mean, unless Hal and JSexton are both scum, it makes no sense–I suppose it’s possible, but you would need much more supporting evidence. Meanwhile you are clamoring to let the vig solve our problems when we
a) Don’t know if we have a vig
Furthermore, if BlaM wasn’t lynched right then , he would have sent his message, the heat would have died down, and there’s no assurance that he ever would have died.
Furthermore, this is the only evidence you have against JSexton–granted, he hasn’t participated too much otherwise, but still–you have managed to take a weak null tell and turn it into the only pillar for a vote-worthy case. This seems almost like a textbook smudge. Your vote doesn’t have to work today. But in 3 days, when we have almost won and are puzzling about who to get next, someone looks back and says, “Hey, look, JSexton was kinda suspicious here”, and then we’ve mislynched, with your presence in the sham gone unaccounted for.
No, I don’t like it at all. A strong pro-scum and scummy action is much more of a case than lurking and being cautious, so:
Unvote MHaye
Color bleached by me.
Vote Almost Human
I’m not just piggybacking on Pedescribe’s case here. His points are valid and gave me reason to look closer at Almost Human. But, that’s not the only reason why I voted for her.
She never came back to adress Pedescribe’s suspicion. Instead, she didn’t reply at all and it seems that this was forgotten about. I’d like to hear her side of it. So, this is more of a “wanting an explanation” vote than an “I’m convinced you’re scum” vote.
