Ah... This is the source of confusion...
Let's assume that me and another player swap places in the Night. I receive his visitors, and he receives mine. It's the same basis of a Redirect.
Aha! Thank you, the only type of 'swap' I was aware of was a full role swap, an exchange with another player, and I thought your words meant a very unclear and evasive 'well maybe' we won't see the role you claimed if your role is flipped.
I completely retract that portion of my case against you - that portion was my misunderstanding and thus is false.
You are still my top Scum pick even without that part though, because of the remaining reasons in the case I presented previously, and I'm not changing my vote at this time.
That is fine. Now. Would you kindly respond to this request?
But... Before the song ends, I would like to notice that there is an extreme focus on what makes me scum. Before I die, ask that anyone voting me indulge me in one last little game.
All who vote me: The main focus of this game right now is on how I am scum. However, there is an argument to be made for the flipside of the coin. What could make me Townie? I ask this not to escape the noose, but to build material. I want everyone to express doubts if they have them, and for those doubts to be made known.
Honestly, I consider that when I prepared my case on you - which I prepared because of my overall evaluation of you.
"What could make [you] Townie?" - that's the same things that make anyone Townie. How you play, how you post.
You can stress and emphasize these things too, you know.
Are you Scumhunting? Where, how who? No really, I actually have to ask - Are you?
You don't have to 'stop your job' because someone is suspicious of you. I'll cite TheWetSheep's current case on me. He challenged my D1 case on TolyK (Odd that he didn't challenge it on D1, but alright) as hypocritical, that my pointing out TolyK's posts as active-lurking was unrelated to my case on him (hrm?), was a mixture of fluff and rolefishing accusations, and that I have no points outside my spoiler on him and my points inside the spoiler were overblown.
I answered his concerns with my reasoning and (given that I've been pretty time pressured until the middle of this weekend) moved on with what leads I could explore for everyone.
TheWetSheep replied with a post almost identical to his first, though he adds in accusations of buddying, bandwagoning and lying, connected to he doesn't know if I am but is that what I'm saying. He reinterprets my answer to him, my explanation that I was giving TolyK much to choose to react to and not react to, not only in words but also in tone, so I could study not only his answers but what he chose to answer and what he chose to ignore as 'Throwing a random scumtell at someone to make my case bigger'. That's a stretch, as where he takes it from isn't even my case against TolyK - in fact everything he's challenging isn't my actual case against TolyK.
There's nothing new for me to answer in his reply. TheWetSheep's actually doing a form of what he accuses me of, he nearly claims he is when he includes "I don't know whether you have been or not." in connection with "So I'm justified in saying you've been bandwagoning, lying, and buddying?"
He's doing 'poke the player, see if it bleeds Scum'. I don't challenge him for it because he's not looking highly Scummy to me - though he loses a few points for having 'let you go' the way he did and a few more for dropping his interrogation of me and for not really interrogating anyone else instead. He has 'points to lose' though - he's near the middle of my suspicions list - there's a lot of pretty non-Town play going on in this game, which is sad because how do we pick out the weak players from the wicked?
But anyway, using my own behavior as a better example of how I expect Town to behave - I don't 'stop' and only deal with TheWetSheep's concerns. I -do- address them. But I keep doing my job, when I do and afterwards as well. I am Scumhunting, I am trying to make the best choices I can. I'm trying to figure out who's the most likely Scum and I am trying to verify it as best I can.
You appear mostly reactive/passive - you were willing to make big claims (you could have verified your beliefs starting early D1 and been -sure- you should be as enthusiastic as you felt about what you could do and how to do it...) that you then could not back up; you made them to save your own skin, and you did absolutely minimal 'work' (Town has a job to do!) both D1 and D2.
Tiruin calls you 'Cheerie', and she thinks you're more likely on the side of Town then not - which is great, but. She has trouble backing that up with examples of your Townness too it seemed, just a 'feeling' mostly. I do respect Tiruin's feelings, but she can be wrong too.
So you ask me to tell you - "What could make [you] Townie?" Acting like it, from the start of play - that's the biggest thing that you could do to make me think you are Town. Even if you're -bad- at trying to achieve Town wincon, -try to achieve it-. Work. If you're bad at it, know that all honest players are going to be trying to understand if you're bad at it or actually Scum. And if a Scummy dude points at your imperfect Scumhunting and says 'Ha, that's Scummy!', that's great! The honest players will be able to ask about that. And keep asking. And that Scummy dude has a real chance of just falling apart.
See, there's many ways to Scumhunt... some are aggressive, some are alluring. Some are silly, some are scary, some are strange, and some are stranger than strange - some barely seem to make sense - but the thing is - they are doing something. Even if it's hard to understand. From you, Birdy, I just don't see your effort. You don't appear to be working towards a Town win - but you do appear interested and highly motivated to work towards 'Birdy survives'. It's fine to try not to die - but you appear to be mostly trying to not die. You're 'forgetting' (or just don't care - or maybe just don't HAVE) a Town wincon that you're supposed to achieve (even if you're NOT TOWN you're supposed to be looking like you're trying to achieve it).
