Andy, you're going to be waiting a while to hear my case on Corwin because I don't have one, never did. That vote against him was an attempt to besemi-serious early on and to see if I could drag out some discussion through an early vote. As you can see, it failed miserably. The one post after that prodding him was some stuff I saw that looked curious. Aside from that, I had nothing, and he was one of the better looking people to me.
Super? I didn't have a case against him day 1 either, aside from that one really odd argument. And, like I said, Lady Door was, at the time, doing a fine job of following that lead. Though, I do have more thoughts on him now, but this isn't the place for them.
Finally, as for yourself. At the time of my vote, Andy, you were looking questionable. Mostly just the fact that I couldn't see much of import added by your posts, and you had jumped on Otter who was, aside from one gaffe, looking decently solid at the time. Of course... much like the rest of your question, Page 3 and that chunk of the day I was out has led to some changes in my thinking.
Oh, Lady Door. If you'd like, I could also go over your questions again if you so desire. Though I'm not entirely sure how much relevance they have at present.
Notably, going over the topic again, with a larger chunk of time to go over things, and the results of a flip given, I've rearranged my thoughts on who is, and is not, worrying me.
Let's start with this. I am assuming we're in LYLO. It could be that this is like UOM Mafia and the scum cannot speak to each other, or there is some other mitigating fact in play to keep us from losing straight out. Secondly, this means I am assuming there are two scum. Now, of the five of us, three voted for Tom, one voted for Andy, and one did not vote.
Now, this means that one scum voted for Tom, at the least (since I know my alignment. Your mileage with this deduction may vary, unless you're Otter). So, let's look at those who voted for him, in order from who I find towniest to scummiest.
Andy, you're up first. Not only is your reason the best (it's him or me, and I choose me!), but you also came onto a pretty strong kick in Page 3 after I was gone for the day. Possibly this is due to those papers you mentioned, and the rise in the quality of your play does tend to corroborate this view, which I like. The good strong start to Day 2 you've presented likewise leaves me impressed, and so I'm content at leaving you be at this point in time.
Lady Door comes second. I'll admit, her scattershot approach appeals to me, as she posts often and always leaves us something to pick through. That said, there's some things she's done which seem questionable. The first and foremost of these is picking Tom over Andy when they were both tied at one vote, and when you had finished speaking against Andy. In fact, the only time you really say anything specific against Tom is at the beginning of Page 2. After that you argue against Andy plenty, and mention Andy a lot, but all Tom gets is vague rumblings of discontent. Why did you never level questions at him, or call him out for not responding to your initial points against him?
Finally, Super. His reasoning for voting Tom, as far as I can tell, was to avoid no lynch. And sure, that's no scum tell, but neither is it a town tell. After all, people knew he was here, while of the other three people who could vote Tom, two weren't present, and the other was Tom himself. So, he'd have looked pretty bad if he was scum and chose no lynch instead of Tom. The thing that really gets me about Super though, is the content he's added. For the most part, he's just simply been either defending himself, or making vague ominous posts about implications for other people. Namely, the comment on Corwin if Tom flips Town, and his fishing for roleclaims after he votes for Andy in the same post that he expresses misgivings about Tom. This joins up with his only expressing an opinion on one person the whole day (his attack on me, which is the towniest thing he did all day) and generally keeping his post count up by constant defense of himself, poking other people to talk, and counting down the time. In fact, he's already started this pattern today, with two posts. One of them a request to know when we hit LYLO, and another requesting that I talk.
So, Super. It's due time that this is requested. What do you think of everyone still in the game? Details would be appreciated, naturally. Specifically, I'm interested in your take on Otter, who you seem to think is town. Why do you feel he's town, and why did you feel a need to use that as a good argument that one of Andy or Tom is scum?
Now, I've spoken at length on the three people who voted for Tom, and what I think of them. However, Otter also deserves special mention. Looking back, I've seen more merit in Andy's arguments against him than I saw before. Otter's original arguments were less bringing things up, and more tearing into the people who were voting for him. He didn't really bring much else to the table before he disappeared. And while I was willing to overlook his mistake when it was the only mark against him, the fact that Otter has disappeared for a day, and more telling, did not leave a vote, makes me very worried about him.
Otter, I'd like to second Andy's inquiries. Why did you disappear, and why did you not use your vote?
