I don’t think I’ve been mildly or vaguely accusatory. In fact, mild and vaguely accusatory would describe your statements about me earlier in the game where you said I seemed Scummy but you couldn’t put any reasons forth. That is a smudge. On the other hand, I have question you, Episkey and crackedquads. I’ve directly stated what problems I have with your claims of actions. I’ve directly stated how I think each of you might be Scum. I’ve been very clear in my accusations. You know this. You’re aware of it. And it appears as if you’re trying to create some sort of diversion. ---

No, that is a statement of suspicion which is what you are saying you are doing. You have not been saying that you think lynching me or Episky is a good idea directly, but you have subtly been pushing that agenda even over the agenda of the player you are actually voting for without ever coming out and saying that is what you want.

This sort of posting is what I was talking about when I said you were seeming scummy to me. This is so wrong it’s actually humorous. First, posting what you call ‘smudges’ is what you were talking about before I ever did it? really? No, I mean really? Second, did you gloss over the vote I’ve had on you? Did you gloss over all the arguments I’ve made? Have you glossed over my question to Episkey? Have you ever seen me opposed to lynching you or Episkey? Can you point out where I’ve done that? ---

> [@NAF1138](#): > > So you think lynching Episkey toDay is a good idea? > > How about lynching me? You would be onboard with that? I find both of you suspicious. I’ve laid out many reasons. I’m not opposed to either of you being lynched, though I’d rather wait on you with Zeriel’s result. Hopefully we’ll find out if he’s lying or Naive soon enough. Episkey: 1. The Scum result whisper given by Pizza 2. The inconsitency in where his whispered results have gone. 3. His certainty that the result Pizza got on him was his incorrect result. 4. His ‘oh no, the Scum are going to Night Kill me’ routine. NAF: 5. The Scum result whisper given to Pizza 6. The presence of a poisoned player aafter Pizza’s death coupled with NAF’s claimed ability to mimic other powers 7. The earlier smudges on me (which have just now added post hoc reasoning) I think I’ve been pretty clear in my suspicions all game. ```auto On an unrelated note, When did you learn what your power was? ``` ---

I am not liking this. I don’t see how there’s any reconciliation of Zeriel, Ben, and Episkey’s results that doesn’t end with Episkey being Scum. ---
