For me, it’s primarily voting patterns.
First, he said that Dante’s “tip my hand” post was one of the scummiest things he’d ever seen, and was the second vote on Dante right at the outset. I can’t judge him harshly for that - I was skeptical of the same thing and Dante did take a lot of heat. Remember the “scummiest things” bit, though.
Then he voted for himself, then after un-self-voting, he switched to septimus, thusly:
This was the almighty third vote against septimus. It occurred at a time when our vote leader was a wolf (JSexton). It is notable that he didn’t vote for TexCat, however, which would have put her right in the lead. The vote for septimus made the count 4-4-3-3, which was wolf-town-town-town. The next vote was Sario on top of septimus, 4-4-4 and the cluster was a-fucking.
Later, at 564, he explains his reasons further:
I am, for the moment, ignoring the logic of the vote itself - I don’t think it’s great but everybody can decide that for themselves, as I don’t think it’s what’s interesting. What I think is interesting is he’s referring to a post from before the self-voting scheme, about the self-voting scheme, as the reason his vote is staying on septimus.
So, recap – votes Town Dante for one of the scummiest things he’s ever seen. Then septimus gets the ball rolling on self-votes and makes a post about it, and Diggit self-votes. At this point, he’s read both Dante’s scummiest thing ever, and septimus’ self-vote discussion. Then Diggit votes septimus on the “general feel from the current mood in Town,” because he “seemed the scummiest.” Not specifically because of the self-vote post. Then later Diggit circles back to that post by septimus, and says that’s why his vote is “staying.” But it would have had to have been the justification in the first place.
Diggit does not post again that Day, and septimus, who is Town, gets got.
So, next day. What’s our plan?! Diggit’s ready:
I didn’t see an explanation by septimus after that and therefore didn’t remove my vote from him. However, I should point out that I actually should have left my vote on DanteG, mostly because he never explained (to my satisfaction) his strangely “aloof” posts concerning this game, overall. So:
Vote DanteG
[/quote]
Second vote on Dante. Justification is identical to his justification before he elevated septimus above him as a lynch candidate, which he just flatly says he shouldn’t have done. Diggit does not post any further voting-related content, although he posts a few times about meta-strategish stuff. Dante gets got. Dante is Town.
Next Day, Diggit and everyone else votes JSexton.
At 1010, Diggit says precambrianmollusc’s paranoid questioning whether Bayard would fake-claim Seer is:
He promises he will vote for him the next day. He does, at 1129, provides more justification at 1134, give some metagame commentary at 1141 and then checks out for 8 days.
So, all told, that’s two people who have done the scummiest thing he’s ever seen in one context or another, two Townies he’s made early-day votes on and left them there while they got lynched – one of whom was the person who made the “scummiest… ever” posts and one of whom was someone else AFTER that other person made the “scummiest… ever” post but BEFORE he voted that person for good, one timeline justifying that vote that doesn’t really add up, and basically no late Day behavior of any importance at any point in the game. If you’re gonna lay low, this is how you do that.
