I didn't notice any divergences that indicate scum or town at the time. Then you said things that made me think you were scum. That changed my internal consideration from "Dunno, let's have a freak-out-party" to "SCUM GO LYNCH HIM," which results in a different reading of your posts as a body.
Or "Now that I'm pushing for a Leafsnail mislynch, I can start painting his earlier posts in a more scummy light".
That triggered one of the quantum chains of reasoning I'd established--i.e., IF Pandarsenic is town, THEN there is a strong possibility that Leafsnail is scum, THEN there is a strong possibility that Dakarian is scum.
I thought I was such obv-scum you wouldn't need Pandarsenic to tell you anyway?
I consider scum-meta to be "whatever indicates that someone is not town." If you're acting strongly contrary to your town-meta, then you are scum. Similarly, if you are acting strongly contrary to your scum-meta, then you are town.
First part of that sentence is just wrong. You, Vector, are acting dramatically different to your controlled town self. The second part is an outright lie - scum will try to emulate their town meta or change their strategies. Especially audacious players like Pandarsenic.
There are no mentions whatsoever of your being coached, or that Webadict is on the scumteam, or that Webadict is even in the game. I feel that--if you are scum, and dakarian is not--you are behaving contrary to your normal patterns to the point of total absurdity. I could see Webadict trying to lynch dakarian as scum, as some sort of sick challenge. I might even be able to see Pandarsenic do it, though he's generally a touch more rational. I can't see you doing it. Thus the Leafsnail_SCUM, Dakarian_TOWN possibility is eliminated.
This argument works a lot better from a "Leafsnail is town" perspective than a "Leafsnail is scum" perspective. Again, you're just throwing out possibilities rather than saying why you believe them to be true.
I said "Leafsnail and Dakarian are probably scum since Pandarsenic says so" and voted for... one of them. By my definitions, he was the right player. I thought "Huh, Leafsnail's arguments are shockingly convincing, and Pandarsenic seems like a townie. This means that they may be a scumteam, but the greatest likelihood is that Dakarian is scum (who knows about Leafsnail, anyway)." Then I thought "Huh, Leafsnail's arguments are... shockingly convincing. I've been in a staged fight before. This sure as hell looks like one, especially in light of the scumtells I've suddenly started seeing. Better vote for Leafsnail, since I'm mostly seeing Dakarian through Leafy's lens."
At best, this is a "Too townie" fallacy. However, due to the fact that you keep changing your reasons, this is instead another scumtell.
Most of my post is "People don't usually scumhunt that well in the early game unless they know who scum is, so Leafsnail is probably scum" and "Leafsnail isn't usually aggressive like this, so he's faking, so he's scum." Again: secretly coached by Webadict? What the hell is this about?
Mainly because I wasn't entirely sure what you were trying to say. Again - town Leafsnail gets aggressive when he's found scum.
