Okay, here is the sequence of events that troubles me:
Ika was being wagoned for lurkiness and non-contribution. According to DarkLightA's story, he knew that Ika had targeted him last night. 1. So what is this read based on?
Still saying this, still with no reason.
In post 622, DarkLightA wrote:I'd rather not elaborate yet. However, I have information that could potentially, maybe, possibly exonerate ika. Therefore I'm asking to refrain from LOLhammering and allow a claim and my response to said claim before any hammering takes place.
This made me think DLA was town.
In post 632, DarkLightA wrote:Ika probably doesn't, or at least shouldn't, understand what I'm referring to. I can respond to a claim, and
then ika can decide whether he wants to claim or not.
Ah, the famous breadcrumb. It doesn't happen until after DLA has already started his gambit, which seriously undercuts the credibility of that gambit. But it's the second sentence that bothers me: 2. How could DLA respond to a claim before Ika made it?
In post 664, DarkLightA wrote:You don't know shit. Give me a full claim or I'll ensure that you go back to L-1 if that would help you at all.
This to Ika. Unexplained townread fading -- maybe because it was never real at all?
3. Doesn't want anyone else to talk about it. Why?

Seriously Soren, what's up with your play today? You seem to be more interested in ika's lynch than his flip.
This is weird after the
Post 664 threat.
In post 684, DarkLightA wrote:I'm not a tracker.
If the next post you post doesn't contain a full claim I will vote you.
The self-admitted lie.
In post 691, DarkLightA wrote:What the fuck do you think you're doing?
You were being lynched. I stopped that. Now you comply or get lynched. Full claim.
Why is DLA so concerned that Ika claim at this point? He was already voting him, so how can DLA control whether Ika gets lynched or not anyway? He can't vote him MORE.
In post 693, DarkLightA wrote:might never happen if you don't act quickly.
The way you're acting now I think several people will be more than happy to hammer.
The apparent scumread from earlier seems to have faded, because DLA is here acting the part of the concerned friend trying to help Ika not get lynched.
However, seven minutes later:
In post 697, DarkLightA wrote:I don't know anymore. I'm going to bed. I don't really care what happens to ika.
Apathy.
In post 714, DarkLightA wrote:@Bookitty, which part of this:
is ambiguous to you?
I'll explain everything if ika claims.
Back to wanting a claim.
In post 725, DarkLightA wrote:I'm perfectly content lynching ika for his reluctance to claim. His behavior has been anti-town at best.
Happy with the lynch.
In post 728, DarkLightA wrote:Ika, you're going to die. I don't understand what you're trying to achieve by not claiming.
You do know that there are quite a few possible roles in mafia, correct?
Almost... coaching? If DLA thinks Ika is scum, why not just push for his lynch?
In post 748, DarkLightA wrote: In post 740, Bookitty wrote:Can you explain now, DarkLightA? Surely if Ika looks like scum to you now, there's no reason to withhold your evidence, right?
Why do you keep on fishing? I am not saying anything before ika claims, leave it or take it.
DLA is making sure nothing else can be discussed by harping on the claim, but heaven forbid anyone else discuss it!
In post 794, DarkLightA wrote:Ah, yes. I knew there was something I forgot to address. Frankly, I was trying to coerce a claim out of Ika and at that point I was becoming quite uncertain about his alignment. I figured that if I slipped in a white lie I could make him uncertain and hence—if he were scum—could make him fakeclaim something that could be contested. Essentially, I felt that the less information Ika had at the point of claiming, the better. That was also why I resisted discussion on the topic.
Admits his lie.
This, DLA, is where you said that you didn't want to show the breadcrumb because you thought it would prove Ika was the rolecop:
In post 807, DarkLightA wrote:I'll allow ika to respond before revealing that as he can verify a rolecop role through it.
I think I'm okay with either lynch today. There's so much weird incriminatory stuff going on between Ika and DLA that either flip would resolve some things for me, anyway.
Sorry for the patented Wall-O-Text.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
