See, this is part of what bothers me.
You're going to give the thread a re-read and see if you can find stuff from me that seems scummy.
Anyone notice the issue with that?
If you're actually giving the thread a re-read you shouldn't be focusing on just one player's scuminess. You should be looking at each player's scuminess.
Building cases is fine and all, and I'm sure you can find scuminess on me, but at this point, with the primary active players gone, who can't you find dirt on? It's not the dirt that's the issue, but rather the reactions to the dirt.
Let's look at Lilan for a bit. Bandwagons a bunch, has shoddy reasoning, starts a wagon on me. Of those, none imply scuminess, but are most likely just weird reads. I'll admit, I haven't been the most helpful to town this game, but I've done more than some, less than some, and I don't think it's quite a "fair" thing to tunnel in on me. All that time you are spending on a re-read and you're focusing on 1 specific player. I think emphasizing stuff on me is fine, but looking for stuff on me primarily isn't exactly going to get very far.
As for defending bad players, that's actually irrelevant. The skill level of a player is not a factor on alignment, and if you'd have actually noticed what I had been posting you'd have probably come to a different conclusion. I defended bad players under certain circumstances, not just "bad players". I attempted to refute certain styles of attack that are unfairly leveraged against newer players. It seems a bit fishy for Rag to go after me and you to jump on so quick, but it seems even more so when your case is just trash.
Moreover, I don't actually think that using my viewpoints on lynching active players against me is particularly strong or relevant. First of all, it's not an indication I'm scum, as it's happened in many games I haven't been a part of. I get that as mafia you'd like to create cases, and I get that as town you'd like for it to be that simple, but it really isn't. There are players aware of my viewpoints, and who are smart enough as mafia to use my vocality of a topic against me. This by no means clears me, but analyzing the state of the game should indicate that lynching the active players is a null tell on my part.
I think it goes without saying that a re-read would encompass more than "just" looking at you. I was just indicating that I intend to emphasize paying careful attention to what you've said because so little of it actually left an impression on me. Players who fail to leave an impression on you are often the most likely to be scum and I want to have a better idea of how "safe" you've been playing it this game.
I think the fact that you were lurking throughout the beginning of the game and the fact that active players have been getting lynched does point towards a reasonable chance of you being mafia. In the face of what few other things I have to go off of, this seemed like the most tangible case to me. It's not a null tell and it's not a 100% perfect read. It's something that makes me think you have a statistically higher chance of being scum than anyone else in the game based on my limited information.
This most recent post reads like town to me, but that's part of what makes me so suspicious. All you do is lurk until someone throws suspicion your way, then make a post that sounds townish and then go back to not seriously scum-hunting. That doesn't fly with me.
