@Raikaria:
When you spend the most part of the day espousing how you have no reads, and only formulate some near the end of the Day, that's what I'd call Token Reads. You're providing reads so as not to come across as having none, at a juncture when your read basically means zilch: the Town has already had a row about who is and isn't Scum. Coming in late with an opinion when hithertofore you deigned not to steer the Town in any direction isn't helpful at all and fits perfectly in a scum agenda of seeming active and involved when you're really not.
Having a Townread is nice, but when people are arguing over whether Darkninjaabc is scummy or not, you could put some effort, analyse the posts and say whether you think Darkninjaabc is or is not scummy. At the very least, "scummier than neutral" exists as an opinion. You provided none of it until the end of the Day and now claim that that somehow constitutes as a contributing opinion. It isn't.
This argument attempts to dismantle my case by zooming in on a singular point─you still haven't had any worthwhile activities to your name where you're hunting scum, pushing people to get reads or otherwise gathering information. Most of it is a simple votepark on a lurker while only posting snippets of token contribution.
The entire spiel about SB is dishonest in the sense that you're relying on a logical fallacy:
You propose SB is Scum, and without checking whether your assumption is correct, undermine him. That's counting your chicks before the eggs are hatched.
There are three other reasons you quoting that post isn't a very bright idea.
1) If you were Town suspecting SB as Scum, it doesn't make sense to vote opposite of what he wants. It'd make sense to be voting him strongly and try to get people on an SB wagon instead. Moreover, even if he were Scum, there were two others voting alongside him─why could he not be trying to bus a scumbuddy? You blithely disregarded this possibility to do something very odd.
2) If we accept BBM's claim as true, that means SkyPal is very likely Scum. Using a contrived reason as, "I think SB is scum, and I don't want his lynch target lynched", you're basically saying you actively moved to prevent Scum's lynch Day 1 and tried to push DNA's lynch ahead instead.
3) Town's weapon is a lynch. With less than 30 minutes left, instead of trying to secure a lynch, you tied up wagons. Pro-Town movement would have voted Sky Paladin in hopes someone else can hammer. Pro-Scum movement is avoiding the lynch. Now that Town no longer has the option to No lynch, they can't opt to ease 4-man LYLO (3 town 1 scum) through No Lynch, and the D1 wagons have yielded a grand total of No Information Whatsoever.
So if today is a Sky Paladin lynch (likely), then that doesn't reflect well on you at all, given you tried to swing the wagon to DNA using the above reason as well as "90% gut".
Suspecting me because I suspect you is old as time, and of course you'd find my reaction to BBM's claim weird. But can you argue why it's scum-minded to disregard a claim up in the air to pursue other leads?
That exact reason. People who lurk Day 1 here are often scum; letting the most vocal members of the town rip themselves apart early.
I can't rhyme this with Town intent at all, because it's plainly obvious Poly just had no intention of at all playing the game. The irony is astounding, considering Raikaria did exactly that: let the most vocal members of the Town discuss among themselves, poking in every here and there, and only taking a definite stance of x versus y when the deadline had almost fallen.
So; yeah; that's my opinion of your slot falling rapidly Bardiche.
Considering almost all of Day 1 was spent voteparking my slot, I didn't think your opinion could drop any lower.
