I tried this iso thing with an eye towards making a case against someone who hasn't made a case against me, but the best I could do was come up with a list of quotes that made me want to ask fathom why he spends so much time asking other people what they think while providing only superficial input of his own.

For example, what do folks think of the exchange me and Tierce just had?

In post 91, fathom42 wrote:Personally, I think the Shii/SOAD thing was scummy from both sides. I don't approve of either of them resorting to personal attacks.
(please note that the last response, regarding personal attacks, uses the same argument as my post.)
So, fathom, I'm curious as to your thoughts about the happenings of the past few days, preferably using your own unique reactions rather than restating what others have already said.
Just for funsies, I did an iso on Cav, which didn't give me much, and then on my new bestest friend SOAD. I know that I'm playing into the hands of everyone who wants to accuse me of attacking him because he voted for me, but it's really more of a case of me not working this out until now.

Early in the thread, and he's already setting himself up as the arbiter of playstyle. It's actually a great trick, and I take my hat off to him. If you come out as that confident in yourself as a player, there's often a natural response to go along with it and to see opinions as valid simply because they are stated in a way that sounds so rational. "Don't take it so seriously," he says. He knows what he's doing. Of course we should listen to him and assume that all of his claims and opinions are well reasoned.

This is his fourth post in the thread. None have been longer than eight lines. He presents himself as having been open and honest, except at this point he hasn't said much of anything.
In post 55, syndromeofadown wrote: I voted you because you're being illogical, and because you wanted me to vote someone. Why so tense over one more vote? I'll most likely unvote you before you end of the day. Honestly, if I were attacking you or anyone else in this game, I'd have a whole different tone. This is me being nice.
"Quit being so angry. You're so suspiciously angry! Why aren't you calm like me?"

Apparently since we don't know how SOAD plays when he's town or mafia, any suspicion about his behavior is just convoluted reasoning, not a valid scumhunt.

inb4 people call me wishy washy for changing my vote. I know somebody's going to think by voting shii and unvoting I'm trying to distance without bussing, but trust me I'm not. LOL
He said bussing, not any of us. I don't think anyone else had even voted for Shii at the point. Why would we accuse him? Moreover, even if we did have a reason, he's already ridiculed the idea of the other players questioning his motives, thus setting himself above accusation.
SOAD, the more I read from you, the more impressed I am by your play. You've come in guns blazing, so sure of yourself and so quick to make sure that nobody but nobody can accuse you of being scum without being mocked. I just wish that I thought you were using your powers for town, not for evil.
@Tierce, when did I say anything about a "perfect victory"? What does what you said have anything at all to do with what I said?
@BBMolla, for why he is scum, see above. I don't think he's trying to make people not like him. I think he's trying to make people believe that he's someone who should be listened to.
