Still haven’t justified yourself though.  
Other than you keep trying to lynch me from the start, what’s your argument?

Because if it’s “well everyone else is town, but YOU’RE probably scum”, it’s not going to fly. And if it’s “Lynch the lurker” then why not any other lurker? Why am I the only one you seem to be driving for?

Ok… if you survive the Night I would be willing to lump the two of you together, but if my suspicions prove correct, then a scum Sach would be planning on you dying toNight or getting lynched (their vote switch edged you closer to that possibility)… and would therefore not need to worry about your investigation.

Everyone gets a FOS? You seem to be up to date on the game… care to go back and deep dive into Brewha and show us what they posted or did that was supposed to have tole us they were town? I didn’t see any townie indicators and saw a bunch of squirming and aggression about getting lynched. I find nothing townie about telling someone that they are misguided and to stop being misguided, without doing any work to provide a case on an alternate suspect that wasn’t the runner up or not participating.

If anything, I find those who jumped wagon last second to be more suspect than those who remained. My vote is on the record… I believed Brewha was scum and I put my money where my mouth was. Anyone jumping ship with nothing major to change their minds, either didn’t believe Brewha was scum in the first place or didn’t want a townie lynch on their vote record.

Ok… I challenge you to do a side by side comparison of post count and content of yourself and Toejam. The fact that he was a close second in D2 lynch based on his participation bugs me when we have so many people, including yourself, who aren’t participating at their usual level, claimed level, have said they will do better, or have mentioned they are having a hard time keeping up. Heck throw Koldanar in the mix too… I feel you could make the same case against him that is being made of Toejam… so why is no one on his case…

For the record, I don’t like Toejam’s participation thus far either… but it’s far from enough to warrant a vote, let alone a bandwagon.

As I mentioned yesterday, Brewha’s claim seemed to me to be a legitimately confused inquiry on how his switch works. And if he was scum, he’d have just asked his scumpals on the scum boards.

I didn’t ask you to justify not voting for Brewha, I asked for you to show me why I should have believed they were town. By your logic, scum never slip up in the public threads… but they do… I’ve seen it happen… it’s happened to me as scum… so I don’t buy into that. You have ignored the pertinent part of my post… Brewha may have flipped town, but they weren’t forwarding towns cause in any meaningful way… to FOS everyone on the vote list is ridiculous…

I didn’t say scum _never_ slip up in public threads, it just less likely. And by putting such an extreme slant on what I said makes me think you aren’t too interested in the truth.

Especially not when the justifications are as shitty as “well, he had a lot of votes day 1” or “Well, he’s active now, but he wasn’t on day 1 so lets lynch the lurker”… like you **Nestea**.Do you really think “well I’m not caught up but I’m going to vote” is useful?

Dammit. So frustrating. Like I said, by EoD I felt pretty sure brewha was Town, but how can you blame people for voting an outed liar? Or for voting a claimed 3rd party? And obviously the late ToeJam surge wasn’t scum trying to save brewha. So, 2 days in, 7 Town down, and basically no useful information in the voting records. Scum are making us look like monkeys, and not particularly well trained ones at that. I’m gonna take my sleuthjuice over to the Steelers thread and revisit tomorrow.

I thought that was the position you were taking. Otherwise I found it odd that you are suspicious of people who took the opposite view of the situation.

To be clear… my issue is that you admit it’s possible for a scum to make a similar mistake, but are suspicious of being voting Brewha when that was a large part of the case against him.

I also don’t like that before the reveal you had no problem with people voting Brewha, you just didn’t think we were right. After the reveal now you are suspicious of all of us? You were right, but weren’t advocating against Brewha being lynched… at least not strongly… but now it feels like you are playing up your innocence in the lynch while casting broad reaching suspicion.

I’m willing to bet there is scum or 3P in the votes for brewha, but I KNOW there is town there too… I’m sure we are just as likely to find scum in the pool of people who jumped wagon as we are in the pool that stayed put… and the former pool is smaller.
