First off, I think calling all of the votes on snow dwarf a bandwagon is an indirect attack. Some people might have been bandwagoning, but people choosing independently to vote for the same target is not a bandwagon. A part of why I took a while to finally put my vote down was because I knew that I would get accused of hopping on the bandwagon, when in fact I had legitimate suspicions.
This still seems to ring true to me, and you didn't really address it at all.
With the "seems like a right answer", I was making a joke on Hector's expense, as he accused me of giving him the "right answers", though I stated them in honesty.
Okay, I can accept that. It didn't read as a joke to me, so I thought it was some bizarre band of data to which I wasn't privy.
And you didn't answer the second half of my question. Or maybe you did with that deflection at the end:
I feel like I've been completely open and honest about why I was suspicious of snow dwarf, and I think the only way to make any headway on finding out if there is a scum in the list is for everybody else to do the same.
Like, this is mafia. I can guarantee you that at least two people are lying through their teeth right now. Can you give me a clearer answer as to your tactics? So far, I've started the vote that got Persus (sadly, a townie) lynched, and I've started this run on ATH, who so far still hasn't done enough to shake off my suspicion.
You're right in that my answer was the statement you quoted, although I don't know that I'd call it a deflection. You asked for a single, concrete solution, and I gave you an answer that was neither of those things, so I guess I can see how you'd view it that way. If you want a concrete answer, I don't have one. The only thing I know to do is follow up on things that seem suspicious to me, and the only way that I know how to do that is to poke at things that seem off. I don't have a finely honed radar for this stuff (I somehow thought I'd be able to discern a
lot more), but I'm trying to pay attention to my gut, and then see if I can find things to back up my gut reactions. Right now, that largely involves reading through ATH's past posts, because he just feels really scummy to me, even if I can't fully articulate why. He's responded pretty much every time someone has questioned him, but his responses have been (usually) short, and haven't always contained much (or any) useful information, so the feeling that he's evading things has gotten stronger over time.
