Step 2: When someone feels 'off' to you: perhaps you disliked their answer, or maybe they scare you, or confuse you with their text. Perhaps they look fine but your feelings or your gut says something is wrong. Perhaps you see them do one scumtell. Don't ignore it: make them your target. Attack them. Tell them what bothers you about them. Push them, harass them. Tell them how scummy they are. Ask them every question in the book.. and I mean EVERYTHING:
...
Note, this is Step 2: Litia doesn't feel like she knows Dakarian is scum.. just had a 'feeling'. She has no hard evidence, nothing real. The questions are to add pressure.. make Dakarian crack and panic. If you did it right, they WILL town or scum. WHEN they do, you will be able to see more of their true self. From there, decide if you can find them as scum for truth. If you don't: pull out and go to your next suspect: if no one else is there, go back to Step 1.
Instead of random voting, he decides to hit me over something very small. Even if noone else was doing anything to find scum either.

Attacks me over another ridiculously small thing...

So, all in all dakarian, this is you trying to prime me for a mislynch. You can't have possibly established my alignment yet, and yet you still lay into me with weak reasons and uncharacteristic tunnel vision.
And that, my dear Leafsnail, is HOW you use a RVS. You don't play games or pass along jokes. You make people PANIC. You put them off center. You make them slip.
Like, for example, you fling a horribly weak accusation and make it sound like a denouncement of death. You make sure it's strong in bite and little in substance, which is easy since this IS (was) RVS. You then wait to see the response. If they crack more townish, they'll focus on dispelling the weak argument and get to trying to figure people out and reading them.
Scum will do two things in sequence:
1. Panic. OMG that's not a Random Vote! He's trying to KILL ME! I don't want to die! What do I do?
2. Calm down and smell blood. Oh yes.. a mess up, an easy lynch to jump on. I just need something to pin on them.
Thus instead, the scum will ignore the accusation, which is easy to dispell, and aim for the kill, hoping the attack will ignore the fact that they paniced.
In other words, you just got caught doing something VERY scummy, Leafsnail. What do you do now?
Sidenote: About my 'passive attacks without a vote', my vote stays on my target but I'm not going to ignore others. Half of what you learn in an attack is what your target does while the other half is what everyone ELSE does. Or did you hope that I would do the mistake Janus did in Paranormal when he noticed a RVS scumtell of mine but then walked away to someone else before I replied? If you no longer become my target and they remain an issue the vote will move to them. You, however, need to first stop being a target,
and trying to get my lynched because I decided I actually WANT an answer from you rather than forget you exist doesn't help in removing your target status.
Btw, Tunneling? It's the first accusation on you on the first 24 hours of the game. You didn't even write any post in defense and you're accusing me of "Staying on a target LONG after all accusations have been answered to and no logical reasons to stay on them exist"?
