Toony's doing that scum thing again where he scrambles to change the status quo near the end of the day phase so that people panic and change up their vote without thinking it through.
Toony why did you wait until now to scum read me? Your reads in general seemed to line up with what other people were thinking, but now have taken a sharp turn with little explanation for it.
I'm wondering at this point if you want Knightwing nominated just because you know he's unlikely to amass votes in the election. If a Cabal member gets nominated, that's one less person to have to compete with for votes on Day 4.
I disagree with your nomination. Flabbergasted "WTFs" and "huhs??" don't count as a defense.
Explain to me how my reads have taken a sharp turn.
Nothing has changed between when you wanted to nominate me earlier and now, so that's either a lie or you're claiming Cabal at this point. It's also a massively blatant misrep to say I'm just being "flabbergasted", I made several points earlier disputing why Reina and Knightwing aren't good choices that you chose to ignore several times. There's nothing to defend because you claimed me and Jack were somehow scum together and refused to elaborate on it.
Your reads have taken a sharp turn because you went from supporting townies who can actually get elected to supporting townies who can't and a null slot that isn't posting. There isn't a consistent thought through-line with your reads and choices. You only went against me when you saw I had momentum and might actually get nominated, which suggests that you didn't think I actually would at first and panicked when you saw that I was becoming an obvtown slot that was actually active and posting.
I'm multitasking on a phone so I can't be as elaborate as I want, but I want to say something at least. Some of these are repeats because I wish to say them again.
1. Roden admitted to lurking on purpose and nobody called him scum for it (except Knightwing, which everyone ignored).
2. Jack wants Roden and Max elected, but doesn't want Max to be Emperor should a D4 pass, which is a strange strategy.
3. Jack claims they voted me on D2 to find my true nature, but they were harping how I was desperate for candidacy before D2 even started. And like NQT points out their accusations of me are erroneous if you actually read D2, I didn't push for my candidacy. I've shot down Jack's slander constantly this game.
4. Jack convinced Jim to vote himself on D1, which then Egan joined as well. NQT points out right after how suspicious this looks and it ruins Jim's candidacy chances. I think this was intentional. Egan hasn't been involved on D2, but Jack pulled a similar stunt on me D2. I think it's actually quite a smart strategy.
I feel that Reina's lack of presence on D2 has significantly hurt us. Also NQT as well, so I'm hopeful they can shed a light today.
I will try to be present in this thread as much as possible, at least on a phone anyway. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings.
1. Another blatant lie which I can see Jack proved in his own response to this post. I'll add that this is proven to not be a real concern because you didn't care when it happened and you instead showed support for me. Do you want to explain how this makes me a Cabal member?
2. What's strange about nominating your town reads and then choosing to elect the player you town read the most?
3. How is this a scum tell instead of a town tell? With the amount of times you manipulated Jack in past games, are you now implying that you don't understand how his mind and thought processes work?
4. It ruined Jim's chances so much that he became the leading nomination choice without a single bit of campaigning?
If you only scum read me for one thing that didn't concern you earlier in the game, then I think it's pretty clear that your read on me isn't real. You suddenly being unable to read Jack when that hasn't been an issue for you in a long time also isn't convincing.
