UK is scum. I can say this with absolute certainty.
UK is scum.
First of all, her case is an obvious matter of
calculated telegraphing, see? Of course, I'm not serious about that, but it's important to consider that she later proposes the townie block and names me as one of its eligible members, despite being confident here that she'll catch me as scum later on.
Her proper-game opening is
this post with a promise of a re-read/content later on, but she follows this up with
another promise, while conveniently coasting D1 up to that point by cheerleading a PX wagon and placing no votes whatsoever. She finally does place a
vote as a placeholder, which tells us nothing about who's scum yet. She does follow it up by calling Kiro scum, but why place a placeholder vote rather than a genuine vote?
Calling it a placeholder is important, because it lends flexibility.
I might change my vote later, but I'll already place it just in case. No one'll blame her for changing a placeholder, right?
She does change her vote after that promised content read, after first posting Wall of Observations, she
changes to Dormio for a case that boils down to, "I don't like his case on me". Important to note is that Dormio was already receiving fire, whereas Kiro was losing it. She stated in an earlier post that Shadoweh, Bard, PX and someone are probably town, noting that she didn't want to be stuck with PX all game, but later
backtracks to say that she's not sure what to make of me. This strange jumping around is notable in that she confirms to herself that I am town on D3, then declares I am scum on D4 when I suspect her of being scum. Because it was untelegraphed. Recall how I refused your townie voting block saying that I'd only do it if I were survivor? It's because the voting block supports scum.
Her jump on LLD is
explained for a need of answers, same as mine. Between here and her vote on Dormio, UK has taken no steps to convince anyone Dormio is scum, and hardly even mentions him. It's like he no longer exists to her.
She doesn't push LLD particularly hard, but keeps raising the point about LLD needing to answer questions and how not doing so is scummy. I like to think my case on LLD was a rather bit more elaborate, UK's feels rather lazy in retrospect.
On Day2 UK goes back to
voting Dormio, but again she spends no effort on why Dormio is scum. There's just no cases, and for someone who declares cases are scummy she's doing an awful lot of her best to avoid looking scummy by her own words... except she declared this on D3. Maybe a cover-up for her previous lack of cases? I think so!
When she changes her vote again,
it's flexible between Dormio and PX, which she needs because the PX and Dormio wagons showed that PX was gaining more votes.
She just swapped to the more popular wagon citing she wanted his flip, not that she thought PX was more scummy. I hopefully don't need to point out how scummy it is. She mentions Dormio's case more
concretely later on, but it mostly boils down to "I don't like his case on me", which isn't necessarily scummy so much as bad town play.
Dormio has raised valid points though, as far as I care. She responds to him twice but neither response is interesting to note in this writing. However,
this is: all wagons are bad, but I'm staying on PX who I declared as definite scum because major lynch information flip reads! Yeah! There's nothing scummy about not even TRYING to get a lynch on who you think is scummiest. She thinks HW is scummiest, but
refuses to jump on it, which clearly shows UK isn't willing to vote HW to lynch!
HWxUK scum OTP. Calling it now.
Oh hey, another thing where she says she'd rather lynch HW, thus not owning up to lynching town!PX. Her vote also assisted Chaore in swinging the lynch off of Kiro, so like Shadoweh, accessory. Unlike Shadoweh, UK is actual scum.
Also
gut on Chaore is all it ever amounts to. :U You want to accuse me of swinging the vote away from Chaore? I wasn't the one who jumped on him with just 'gut'! Moreover, I steered clear of it because it was A) an evident popular wagon and B) I thought it would be useful to discuss more first, but I was obviously terribly wrong because MotK town rolls over and waits for the sweet salvation of death when they have scum. :U
The one time UK thinks someone should vote her is
when it's capt h, which boggles me why she'd encourage him to vote her. Especially considering UK's earlier reactions and present reactions to being called scum.
Since scum UK is saying
HW is scum, Bard and Shadoweh are town, it makes me wonder whether she was totally right on this. I know this won't endear the case to HW, but would it anyway?
The funny part is that
she considers HW scum but still fairly considers his objections to the town voting block, and continues to be
cordial with him while never raising how he is scum or showing that she honestly feels he's scum. Also note how she tries to deny the MyLo. Also the hilarious bit is when she mentions Dormio again, as
townest. :awesome:
There is some posturing about how
a townie voting block would destroy scum, which again is just toting her own horn about how pro-town she is being! If she really were, we'd not need to raise that point!
And Dormio returns to being scum, for now disliking the voting block.
Also she doesn't want to lynch scum!Dormio despite raising it so much, probably because she knows I caught more fire.
Vote and roleclaim in next post!
