like the way I think about votes in the early game, you're going for two things

1) Reactions
2) Kills

If you vote and start talking to them, you're looking for a certain reaction to help you solve their slot

If you vote and you don't talk to them and just twiddle your thumbs while they get closer to elim - you're voting to kill them.

I find scum tend to vote early, then never read-progress as the wagon builds, then when it goes thru early and a kill happens, they don't have accountability issues on the next day.

For example I was elimmed d1 recently in a newbie game, the scum was the first person who voted me and he never came back to talk to me, I got quick-elimmed and he ended up winning fairly quickly.

If you say "Lmao, i would NEVER do that as scum" that just shows it is perfectly valid for scum!you to do exactly that.

So... The conclusion is that if Vanderscamp is scum he's almost certainly scum with me. Why then, are you voting Vanderscamp instead of me.

And let's be crystal clear here: You are 100% aware that this is exactly the type of logic town me uses to solve a game.

Pooky why do you keep asking me these questions like I have to perfectly explain your scum motivations to determine you're scum? Your reaction feels bad faith to me and that's scummy

I could ask you the same question: Why do I pick
you
of everyone to vote in the first place, and when you push back on me, why do I double down? You know I don't like 1v1s or conflicts like this, and would rather avoid it as scum

Because I don't think you've actually thought out why this reaction makes 0 sense from Scum!Me and I wouldn't react to town!you pushing me this way as scum at all.

You doubling down on voting me out for my reaction to you is borderline ridiculous at this point

There is precisely one thing where "I would never do that as scum" counts for me. That is make the game mechanically unwinnable for scum me. Literally everything else is in my playbook.

My argument isn't about me and Vanderscamp not being a viable team (We totally are) or me and Pooky being a viable team (We totally are) or me and everyone else being a viable team (We totally are). It never will be. It's that skitter and Vanderscamp isn't a viable team and infinity and Vanderscamp isn't a viable team and so if you think Vanderscamp is scum you should be voting me.

The main difference between our playstyles is that FL tries to win the game and I try to make the game winnable.

because positionally you're winning and able to push through this mis-elim.

It's a helluva lot easier than to flip one of your other townreads to a scumread.

and I think you might be enjoying 1v1ing me as much as you keep saying you don't.

actually those were reach outs where I give you the chance to re-consider your mis-elim push on me in the presence of new information aka bingle voting/pushing me as well.
