Okay. Let's see...I'm not the leader. NUKE's not the leader. I'm going to assume Dariush isn't the leader, by virtue of Powder having quit ages ago.
Let's take a look at all of the possible cult leaders, then:
*Toaster: No hugely scummy-looking actions. Generally rather quiet, though. At least he seriously contributed in most posts. Always seemed to just be in the background, with the exception of a couple long attack posts.
*NativeForeigner: I don't like how Native tied the D2 lynch when the day was about to end that one time. Also, as Toaster stated, Native spent most of day 2 throwing WIFOM around.
*Urist McArathos:
As stated yesterday, he seemed rather cautious and oddly calm D1 and then started to desperately leap in to answer questions for Dariush to destroy Dariush.
*
Jim Groovester: There was one moment, during day 2, which I remember felt somewhat off to me:
Okay, so let me see if I get this. Yesterday, after a thorough battery of questioning, you tell me "you don't have anything on (me) anyway", yet decide FIRST THING this morning that, hey, actually, you do after all? There's nothing different from your case you already dismissed yourself, yet now it's worth pressing? I find that change of mind somewhat suspect, Jim. However, I've got nothing to hide, so let's have my rebuttal.
Yep.
Ignoring the fact that Urist's link has some serious issues (
Urist: please get rid of the quotation marks and extra "http://" in each of your links), this doesn't look good for Jim. He's just brushing off a serious attack.
In addition, I love the following two posts:
Okay, seriously? Not only do you think I was defending Dariush, now you think he is scum because of it? This is ridiculous. Even if I was defending him, has he done anything scummy himself? Other than being Dariush, no, he hasn't.
We should really be lynching toaster, but if you insist on lynching a townie, lynch Urist instead.
Jack, if you think Nuke is so scummy, why aren't you voting him?
Yeah, whatever.
Time I eat my words. Unvote, Dariush.
Shorten?
Didn't I say to not lynch Dariush because of anything NUKE9.13 did?
Pretty sure I did.
Pretty.
Motherfucking.
Sure.
Regardless of what the obvscum does, we should ignore him. However, my target is still McArathos.
Let's hear it, McArathos. Prove you're not the Leader.
Jim's big evidence against Dariush, that so well convinced him of Dariush's scumminess that he was the first to call to shorten the day, was largely based on the actions of NUKE. So, of course, Jim proceeds to yell at us about how he said before that to not lynch Dariush for NUKE's actions, and how we screwed up. Jim helped lynch Dariush, only to essentially say "I TOLD YOU SO" when Dariush turned out to be town. It feels like Jim is trying to distance himself from the Dariush mislynch, for some reason. Also, I love how Jim puts the burden of proof on Urist.
So, yeah. Somehow, Jim doesn't look that good to me.
