I mean it is a valid reason. It's also a reason I chose. That doesn't absolve me of responsibility for the vote.
my point is that saying "the real thing to look at is someone's reasoning for why they voted is the important thing and not the outcome" seems off to me

I think that's a great cover for scum to fall back on after a mislynch because while, yeah, I do think your reasoning around sheeping creature makes sense, the point is that scum!you already knows what amrun would flip, which means you could deliberately display a reasoning that makes sense as to why you voted there

In post 1608, Menalque wrote:your reaction was massively over defensive and I don’t really see why town!you would be worried about it

You seem off as well in that you’re choosing to throw quite subtle shade at me instead of trying to work with me

You’re making a really weird semantics point while simultaneously saying that it’s not so much to influence the game as it is for you to look back at later despite that it’s obviously influencing the game by throwing shade at my slot

Your immediate reaction to being voted is also really defensive “how could you possibly be scum reading me” and again trying to throw shade at me which isn’t what I think you do with someone who I’m pretty sure you were townreading before

But mostly you’re trying to direct lynches onto the unproductive slots while trying to keep your distance from it by talking about how “I personally don’t have any good reason not to lynch them” which is super awkward phrasing that I don’t think is likely to come from town who I think would just say “I wanna lynch tex/DW for being lurksacks” rather than feeling such a need to justify it

It would also make sense from a gamestate point of view in that scum have probably been relatively happy with things and letting the game tick over rather than highly contesting it which makes me think the most likely slots that looked like they were lynchable today were all town (DW, tex, maybe ddl)
Realllly dislike the GL case. Dislike to the point where I think this is the game we catch scum!Menal.

why do you dislike it so much? can you be more specific instead of just generally saying "I don't like it"

Can you try and sort Datisi for me? I know you know her pretty damn well in game, and I'd love for you to give a more 'full' opinion on Datisi slot.

I'm in the process of doing this now. what do you think of datisi atm?

But mafia is hard and townies mislynch townies all the time. If you go after everyone who pushed a mislynch you're never going to get anywhere. I townread people for inane tunnels all the time because I don't think they'd fake that kind of singlemindedness as scum.

like I don't agree with AFF that poe doesn't work without conf!town (although it is obviously less efficient) but I think that's still really different from "person is scummy because they presented what they were saying in an unclear way" so I don't get that similarity

I think they're similar in a way that they're taking something that the slot was trying to say (case against Korina/readslist) and instead of engaging the substance of it they decide to argue about something that's "connected" to it but ultimately makes absolutely no difference on what the original post was trying to say (the way the case was presented/me saying "PoE")

And, uhh... Aaron, Amrun is still not a TR for me, I've been tuning S_S out for a while now but I need to revisit him, I don't remember the last time Gamma or alimdia did anything, and you and DDL have that weird thing going on

well yeah exactly, I never really got the chance to push it D1 and when I did people stayed glued onto creature despite the reasons for SRing him being bad

also I don't think I dropped it today, I just said I wanted to reconsider? why is me saying I want to reconsider scum!indicative? esp when I was the strongest advocate for a ddl Lynch and the easiest way to control whether you're getting pushed or not is using the nk as scum to remove people who are likely to be problematic for you and ddl had plenty of reasons to believe I'd be problematic for him today (as in he didn't have good reasons to think I would consider my not being dead in this way)

I haven't got to that point yet but are you not also TRing me? so why is ddl TRing me weird? do you think he should be omgusing regardless of alignment?

also tbh if he is scum at this point then him continuing to TR me makes sense because somehow this "mena is bussing ddl" theory has gained traction

which also doesn't make sense because how are you reconciling my constant anti-bus position with me deciding to bus on D1?

and I'm pausing his lynch because I'd ideally like him to answer my questions without anyone being able to lolhammer, I'm only stopping it if his answers are enough to persuade me he's not scum
