Ahhhhh can we all agree to refer to Sky Paladin with something other than SP to avoid confusion with SB tia
Also I'm not going to be V/LA this weekend, but I will be away, so don't expect an uptick in activity just because it's the weekend (at least not until Sunday afternoon).
Unvote: Malakittens
Not liking this vote anymore. I've seen too many townies over the years adamantly march to the beat of their own drum in the fashion she's doing today for me to honestly go "must be scum!". I will never like playstyles that are inherently unhelpful to the public on Day 1 but that's for my teeth to grind over and nothing more.
Unvote: The Relentless
Post #248 makes me feel substantially better here. I could point out that vitriol is not an inherently scum thing and I was not trying to frame it as such, but that's a minor detail at this point.
Unvote: pieguyn
Uninterested in this now that she has a real vote for real reasons. People are getting on her case about "not doing anything" but there have been some substantiated thoughts scattered throughout, like
here (a post that also suggests genuine interest in the question posed
here, rather than having that question look like throwaway "activity") and
here, as well as efforts to push her SkyPal stance.

Vote: Drezi
I am less than impressed by the back-and-forth with Muffin. Drezi's end of things seems more focused on semantics than necessary. What little else he's posted is very wishy-washy:
In post 341, Drezi wrote:I kinda agree about Rylai's post, he did say it was 4 AM and was going to sleep though, not sure about that as an excuse for it, we'll see how he follows it up I guess.
In post 346, Drezi wrote: In post 342, zMuffinMan wrote:For example, do you have no thoughts on relentless, SP and the wagons that have built up on them?
Do you have any reads at all?
Thoughts obviously, as for reads leaning either way I've yet to decide on that, and I won't tryhard it either until I do.
Like I don't see a reason to not vote for Rylai in this scenario unless you're afraid it'll get negatively tied back to you later for some reason (hint: only one faction's members have this concern). Surely a Rylai vote here is more useful than the Ankamius RVS vote?
Vote: GuyInFreezer
Here is a comprehensive list of people GIF thinks could be scum:
...
Vote: Sakura Hana
I didn't come out of the argument with pieguyn thinking it made either of them clearly either alignment, but the point that's been brought up a couple of times about how she's been using her votes as seals instead of votes is one I can get behind. It's a good way to look helpful without actually scumhunting. I'm also not sure why one of the votes is on GIF (as much as I appreciate voting for GIF in any capacity). If it's for sealing purposes, why hasn't she addressed
GIF's claim that his day-use card can't be sealed?

Lily does not like how Serene Forest attempts to discredit Lily by saying that Lily hasn't read the Forest's posts properly. The forest refers to posts made after Lily's posts and says that Lily is not reading because Lily did not read the posts that did not exist at the time when Lily made Lily's post. Lily is trying to learn how but Lily can't see the future! Yet!
Can you back this up with quotes and links? This would be a pretty strong point against Forest if true, but I checked Forest's posts and couldn't really see such an accusation from them.

I don't have any particularly strong feelings about SP being town, but nothing he's done looks scummy to me. I don't understand what people thought was wrong with his vote on Serene. The logic is sound. Serene's initial vote on SB should never have happened if Serene's reasoning for backing off is to be believed (SB is town because he wouldn't be this "reckless" as scum; so why did Serene suspect SB in the first place?) and while SP's content hasn't been the a shining paragon of towniness, I don't really have any issues with what he's said or done thus far.
As I pointed out in my vote for SkyPal, Forest's initial vote for SB had nothing to do with recklessness, and it basically has no other justification.
Currently thinking SkyPal > Drezi > Sakura > GIF with Forest off in suspicion purgatory somewhere until Lily Keyboardsmash gets back here and addresses the thing I mentioned above.
