Why not? It's early and everything is weak. If it gets players invested, we can get started. Now if such a basis persisted with nothing more, that's scummy. We're at the point where weak evidence is better than none.
P.S. ben is town.
I don't agree with your inference that town should ignore odd behaviour early in the game on the basis "everything is weak...it gets players invested", and it's an odd line to take given your earlier claim you didnt want to prolong the RVS. Are you really suggesting it was unreasonable for me to vote for Ranny based on my rationale? If so, I'd be grateful if you could set that out more clearly.
On Ben, tell me how confident you are that he is town, and why?
I didn't say town should ignore odd behavior early. Odd behavior is why I am pushing Rannygazoo. In fact, my approach is the opposite. Every weak thing should be considered to get the game going.
Given your basic lack of reading comprehension, I can be pretty sure you are town.
Ben is town because his angle feels pure in how he's pushing me. I can see his thought process clearly.
P.S. I still want to know why you indulged Rannygazoo's post 41 with your post 48. Rannygazoo's 41 is a particularly bad post. So is his attempt to call me a troll.

Really weird mentioning it more than once.
The paranoid part of me makes me think if she flips scum it's an attempt to get me targeted next.
That or it's an attempt to get me to lay off my suspecion as why would I want to suspect someone who's baking me as town?
This is why Ben is town ftr.

The weird thing is both battle mage and I are saying about the same thing.
But I'm town and BM can't read?

P.S. Ben, I am going to keep mentioning you're town until Battle Mage agrees with me.

I'd say the latter is most likely. And it would accord with the prevailing sentiment in the game to that point, which was that you are a player who tends to go against people who attack you (so clearly scum would prefer not to antagonise you).
I agree Titus labouring the point about you being town without explaining why is odd.

good take. this is a town-indicative post.

That's because you weren't. BM was saying I said things I never said. BM has this problem a lot.
You on the other hand think my playstyle is inconsistent because you don't understand site meta.

This is why Ben is town ftr.
he hadn't made that post until after you said he was town. at best, i'm calling confirmation bias here. really, you need to convince me (and apparently Ben) that you aren't just white-knighting him.

I think I'm gonna VOTE: Titus for the time being. Will catch up on anything I missed later, don't worry (it's late here).

I quoted that post right after my explanation. It was meant as a case in point post.
Also, I don't really care what you think of me BM. I care what you think of others. You have a history of winding up in the bottom of my VCA for a reason.

I'll hold off for the moment but I'm leaning this way.
If like some others to read through the discussion and give their thoughts.

Only a few posts ago, you made a passionate plea about how you don't want to be eliminated early. Now you don't care what people think of you, even when there is a risk that you might be eliminated as a result? I'm struggling to reconcile these two positions. It seems most likely that you do care what I think of you, but you don't want to acknowledge it because it will be perceived as being too survivalistic, and you've already gone far enough down that road.

yeah that's sensible. Maybe they will agree with Titus that I am a silly fool who cannot read.
I think Titus is town. But I am rarely listened to day 1.

I'm not suggesting you've breached that thus far, but it's just worth bearing in mind when using your brash and overly-aggressive persona. it's also best not to let influences outside of this game, affect your play in this one.
@Titus #41 isn’t the smoking gun you want to claim it is. Maybe you think from our last game that I’m defensive and skittish, and I’ll trip over myself for an easy mis-elim with enough pressure. I’m inclined to think Ben sized you up correctly. Maybe you’re scum trying to deviate from your meta because you don’t think you can replicate it as scum, or maybe you’re town genuinely frustrated about lashing out because of early night kills.
I have time to decide. UNVOTE:
I wonder what it looks like when Titus plays to win instead of playing to have reason not to be killed night 1?
