Dsarker:
Additional: It would also be good to occasionally throw doubt on the person who started the vote if you hit a townie with a lynch. Of course, that only works if you position the doubts before the lynching and yet also don't cause enough doubt that it makes people stop lynching them.
This is a bad reason to suspect someone. If someone had a solid case on a person who flipped town, that does not make them scummy. Someone being on the vote with poor reasons, especially if it was a late or tiebreaker vote- that is a reason to suspect someone.
I meant that as the scum, I would do this.
I understand that. I'm saying that as scum OR town, this is a bad thing to do. This is meant as advice to everyone here.

Sorry for not posting in a while. School and all. In response to all the people asking me my reason for it, I'm voting for Dsarker...Well, actually, since the roleblocker question incident, he hasn't acted very scummy. Hopefully you guys won't go lynching me just because I'm withdrawing my vote for him. Drakon is indeed acting a bit evasive, though I'm not going to vote for him unless he gets a bit more suspicious.
If you want to unvote someone, you have to specifically do so by saying "Unvote PlayerName" in red.
Also, there's no reason for that next-to-last sentence. It makes you look worried about your vote.
The reason I haven't voted yet is because I don't want to accidentally lynch a townie, even if that almost always happens on the first day. If I have to vote for someone, I guess I'd go with Drakon. He has been acting somewhat suspicious.
This is a great place to give examples. Without them, this reasoning is meaningless.
Jim: Fair enough.
Caz:
What do you think about it? Is he new or scummy? Both? Neither?
How about some definitive opinions, man.
Well, he seemed scummy about how he backed off from scumhunting when others were asking him what he was doing, like he didn't want to draw attention to himself. But... it just seems too obvious. I'm gonna go with the opinion that he is town. It also feels like I'd just be going with the bandwagon of suspicion if I changed my vote to him now.
It's not a bandwagon if you back up your vote with good reasons.
In general, you shouldn't be worried about doing something that may look suspect like you said you were- if your reasoning behind doing something (like voting someone with several votes already) is solid, then it's a perfectly valid action.
Shark: I don't, I just think he is town, though I guess we'll find out shortly. My other suspicion is that it's Dsarker + ShoesandHats, since Shoes voted for Dsarker then unvoted without giving an opinion on it, as if he wanted to seem like they weren't allies. They're now both trying to lynch drakon136, as well.
99% of the time, you shouldn't try to be building scum teams this early on. Weigh each person on their individual actions, instead of how they act as a group. Once you are certain someone is scum after they're lynched, you can look back for incriminating connections. Your case on a person should still be able to stand on its own, however.
