Yeah, you're pretty much correct.
Although I have a weaker scumread on ETL,
Can you explain what you meant in your 540 which was in response to buldermar's post 539? Because I see an implicit assumption in that post.

His action annoyed me, he jumped in and voted me, and then insulted all the other players for not having me lynched...
...I can understand the vote, heck, I expected it after all the tunneling. But the insult was uncalled for and simply derogatory, his reads have no more validity than anyone else's so far, and yet he's making them seem like they're fully correct.

@GM, It really does look like you're winging it, if you aren't, as you claim, maybe if you explained your thoughts instead of keeping them to yourself it would alleviate the problem.
Could you post a reads list 2?
Same for RC

On that note, I must inquire on RC's reasoning for his scumread, if I was not lying, and I did not intend my question would be answered, why the read?

This explanation doesn't really clear up what bothered me about your reply
b was addressing town, not a specific player: "Quit being fucking idiots and lynch A_stone."
i.e., he wasn't talking to scum, who of course aren't idiots for not voting scum.
your reply: "Says the guy trying to mislynch a townie"
indicates you think he's an idiot for trying to mislynch a townie -- not scum.
That doesn't line up with your read on us.

Not Scum: Mr E Roll, RC, ETL
Maybe: Mac
Scum: A_Stone, GM
(not a consensus list)

I did explain those thoughts. I'm really really trying to make the case(s) but I genuinely have a zillion things to do.
Based on this FoS list, TNE's "compromise lynch", and Rach kill alone, it heavily leans on GM/A_Stone scumteam.
Now I'm gonna read from beginning to see if I'm right.

Argumentum ad populum is the lamest possible fallacy.

Using fallacy as defense is the lamest possible defense.
Also I retract everything I sarcastically said regarding your contribution; you've already done more than most other players in this game.
Now let's fucking lynch A_Stone already.

Which is exactly the scum team f and I have been entertaining as a strong possibility for quite a long time.
It's not argumentum ad populum when the consensus is different from what he is advocating.
And even if the consensus was
exactly
what he is advocating, that wouldn't automatically make it a fallacy.

He is advocating a lynch on Stone. I think there's a general consensus that Stone would be a good lynch. I haven't seen him provide any reasons to propose this other than "you guys all agree". Therefore it is a fallacious argument. Does that make it wrong? Not necessarily, though I personally think it is.
