Hi Scripten.
Thank you for all the posts I had to read when I woke up this morning .
Hey, just think about where I'm coming from. I wrote them at 2 am, my time, after coming home from a get-together with the other comp sci majors in my department.
I didn't do a very good job of explaining my logic in my post where I voted you. As I was writing that post, I was also thinking the whole thing through in my head, so what you have there is more or less a stream-of-consciousness posting. My vote on you was a temporary one, in order to discover more information, though I'll explain why it has become permanent in a moment.
A pressure vote in LyLo? That makes no sense. You know what would make sense? You're NQT's partner who bused him gently the day before and then magically "switched" reads on me because you realized that your scumbuddy was outed. It's actually a little blatant in how orchestrated it is.
The way in which you posted your information smacked greatly of a scum rolecop who found the actual cop, said "oh hell", and quickly posted a fakeclaim in order to get said cop lynched.
Points for Scripten being town:
Claimed first, although not early enough for it to count for much.
Had a rationale for investigating notquitethere last night, although that rationale was edited out later and I'd like him to provide it again for the record.
Lolololol.
But seriously. You can't have it both ways. Either I'm a town cop with a legitimate reason to inspect scum or I'm scum with a "hastily" fabricated fakeclaim.
This was further reinforced by NQT NOT saying he had inspected you (which would have been a clear scumtell) and instead pointing at two players who it was fairly reasonable to target.
Oh yes. It was pretty reasonable to target Cheeetar, wasn't it? I mean, he did so last night, after all.
You haven't commented on the fact that I actually have solid evidence regarding the innocent I got. Or are NQT's few sentence-long "references" to Cheeetar really better than an entire game's worth of evidence backing up my thought processes and motivations?
This was what drove you further down on my scum-o-meter. Additionally, your attack on NQT (which has now been removed) relied on rather shaky grounds at best, and frankly seemed to be out of irritation that he trusted Cheeetar more than you. And notably, Cheeetar was promptly removed from the game by the scum.

So my post was good until it was convenient for it not to be good. Very consistent. You know, you actually make this a little too easy. I thought I was going to have to work to find NQT's partner.
Also, if we're talking about convenient, how about the fact that while the person I had an inno result on was lynched (at day's end, by NQT no less!) under suspicious circumstances, while NQT's supposed "result" was eliminated by scum last night to give them a convenient target to fakeclaim on. Also, considering my post was removed from the game, I find it VERY suspicious (to the point of being poor sportsmanship) that you are making qualitative statements about it, considering it's struck from the record.
As I read your posts this morning, I was actually more and more convinced that you were telling the truth, right up until the end. Your comments are intelligent, your responses adequate, and your general read towny. And then this happens.
especially now that I have a pretty solid answer on who I think the second scum is.
This, my good sir, is OMGUS in the first degree. You're implying that I'm the second scum on the grounds of... what, exactly? That I changed my read on you? Because this happens all the time. That I voted for you? Still not good enough, that's pure OMGUS. This was, in fact, the EXACT tool I was using to see if I could trip you up as scum: I asked you who you thought was the second scum when only NQT and I were voting for you.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! OMGUS. Oh man, I'm dying. This is kind of perfect. So your vote was totally a reaction test, huh? Didn't have anything to do with the fact that you wanted to build a wagon to get at least one or two townies on it, did it?
Also, I kind of have a fairly long post there detailing exactly what was wrong with your reads and why they are not consistent with a natural town progression.
FFS. OMGUS. Wow. Hahahaha.
NQT is too experienced to fall for that trick as a scum player, but I suspected I could get a clear-cut result one way or the other with you. And when I read your post about you not knowing who the second scum was, I was going to unvote you, so I'm glad I continued reading. You did exactly what I suspected you would do as scum: you focused on the other person who voted you and declared them to be the other scum, without providing analyses of the other players still in the game. This, my good sir, is why my vote is here to stay.
Yes, because reading though the entire game several times to make my case on NQT didn't involved looking at everyone's posts, did it? Good lord, man, do you really expect this to work? You're pushing a vote on a claimed PR over your supposed "strongest scumread." I know you're better than this as town, my friend.
On an aside, though, you have played a very good scum game all along. You managed to fool pretty much everybody up until the very end, and that's an impressive accomplishment in a game that had, on day 2, THREE experienced players in the game.
Pretty sure I haven't fooled anyone, actually. But, thankfully, neither have you nor NQT, seeing as DA's post shows some good townie motivation. (I also have been townreading Dorsidwarf since getting a guilty on NQT.) So yeah, you are really the only logical scumbuddy, both from your behavior and from process of elimination.
