As I promised, I'm summarizing everything about Tiershift.
(1) I still think his
12 was a slip. There are two possibilities:
(1.1) He's scum with Dodgy, as I posted in
20
(1.2) He's scum with Alchemist, as I posted in
88
Earlier I thought the first version is true. Later I started thinking that the latter one is true, because of his and Alchemist's gameplay.
(2) His instant reaction in
22 was absolutely scummy, just as
30 and
32,
33 and
37. For me it was clear what Alchemist was thinking. There are other scummy posts on those page eg.
56 (assuming that I wasn't treating Dodgy as scum.)
(3) In
54 he seemed to have given it up.
(4) From
60 he started talking about the nomination thread. That
might
be true in itself, but if he were town, he could have brought this topic up instantly!
(5) His explanations in
63 about his previous gameplay could be fabricated and it's easy to imagine a post like this coming from a scum, trying a gambit to save his aß.
(6) Attempts to misrepresent me. Eg. in
94:
"There is no such thing as a possible scumslip; something is either a scumslip, or it isn't."
– I made it clear before that I thought (and think)
12 was a scumslip.

I'm pretty much aware of the fact that I can't imagine any possibilities withouht a scum-Tiershift. (I'm not sure whether it is called conf-biasing or tinfoiling or something else.)
I also understand that some of you are scumreading me because of that.
Regardless of your reads on me I don't think I'll ever be able to townread Tiershift in this game.
So, for me it's a kind of "either you or me" situation.
Therefore, if most of you think that I may be right about him, let's lynch Tiershift. If you think I'm a scum deathtunnelling him, lynch me.
By the way, both lynches have utility reasons too. If Tiershift gets lynched and he flips town (I don't think it'll happen but what if I'm an idiot in this game?), I'll be able to move on and start doing something useful. If I get lynched, I'll flip town (yes, you can't be sure about this but this will happen) and two things can happen later. If Tiershift's scum, he still can be caught later (via investigation, confirming townies, interaction, whatever). Maybe together with his partner. If Tiershift's town too, by lynching me the town can get rid of a player whose presence is detrimental.
Either lynch can reveal plenty of things about others too (VCA, interactions, etc.)
