Hmmm!
defending IS a scumtell shoot in three of the b12f games i have played i have gotten lynch for being defensive. Agressiveness is a towntell.
You sir, are so wrong it is coming out the other side! Which makes no sense!
Defending yourself against accusations is not a scumtell. Every one can and should defend themselves when under attack, as forsaken is. Indeed,
not defending yourself is a scumtell, and a major one at that!
Allow me to explain why you might get lynched for your defending of yourself.
There are multiple kinds of defence: Rational defence. Based on logic and reason. As long as the logic is sound this is unbeatable.
Evidence-defence. Based on evidence you cannot be scum or must be town. Investigations, claims, and, say, PMs talking about conspiracies count as this. This defence is valid, and when paired with rational defence can almost assure your townhood. Thing is, they
can be lies.
Contentless defence. Just saying you aren't scum and that lyching you is a bad idea is better than nothing, but unlikely to shift more than a random vote.
Emotional defence. Defences like 'go on then lynch me (you meanies)' fall under this and are highly suspicious. This is going to get you into more trouble than it saves. Always. 'Desperate' defences fall under this. There is no rush. Take your time. If neccessary ask for a day extension so that you can post your defence.
No reason and no evidence? How about your freakish D1 behavior? Is that an acceptable reason?
So I'm condemned for using a different method of scum hunting?
Forsaken, if you are indeed town (which I am now willing to accept), your 'different method' was a stupid way off scum hunting. You may not have heard, but town does not lie to town, and pretending to be scum counts as lying. I can tell you that you found no scum as I am the only person-I think-that came up as scummy on the 'attack' side. What you did do is get a bunch of stupid townies (eg. muchenik) to come to your defence in ways that are scummier still. I do not recommend you or anyone else ever use this 'method' of scumhunting ever again.

I implore you to consider my actions again. You claim to have read my posts, yet you still came out with recycled attacks at me that were not based off that wall of text but rather off -barely relevant remarks-, including an argument I had already withdrawn. Please reread the thread from the start of the incident and think, did I ever do anything really scummy? If you truly think I did, do tell what, and I will explain why I did it, because I can, because I am not scum. My rage has subsided over the night and I will endeavour to make my arguments clear, with a minimum of insultry.
