Here's the post that started this whole line of conversation and wagon against SC (at least, in my head):
↑ Night Hunters wrote:You're hypocritical on wagons (go night hunters wagon but not massive), not stating your reads but engaging in pointless setup spec (47), advocating being passive in (74), looking for a bail out in (80).
I agree that SirCakez treated the NH wagon differently than the massive wagon, it is the most suspicious thing that he has done.
the "not stating your reads but engaging in pointless setup spec" is a reach.
47 isn't really "spec", it's a one-liner about theory, and further, I don't know how many reads you can really have and express 2 pages into the game.
The "advocating being passive" argument I feel conflicted about. It's true that SirCakez was saying we should have a legitimate reason to wagon, which feels like a contrived reason to explain his massive wagon defense. However,
74 was a direct response to BBT's
73, so the way NH used this particular post to indict him felt shoehorned.
And then the "looking for a bail out" argument rests entirely on the assumption that SirCakez is scum, which I don't like. It's an explanation for his posting after already making a conclusion about his alignment. It's
possible
that scum!SC is doing exactly what NH said, but it's the certainty in the explanation that pings me.
Altogether, it was mostly justifiable claims about his play so far, but nothing convincing and certainly easy enough reasons for someone to fake a scumread over. And then you have all the subsequent posts like this:

↑ massive wrote:In any case, I don't find it a reason to townread SirCakez
and it all reads together like a lot of action on the sidelines around SirCakez, where I believe there is a better chance of scum posturing than there is of SC being scum (by sheer probability). That's why I get suspicious of the early wagons and why I'd rather investigate the voters instead of the voted.
