Why I Think Shaddowez Is Scum
-First, look at
116. Here he votes for Vedith for what can really be summed up as a lack of activity. There is criticism of baseless questions and lack of follow-up, though the same could really be said of shaddowez's activity. Shaddowez acknowledges that his own activity has been lacking and I would think that as town for that reason he'd not think that someone with low activity at such an early stage is necessarily suspicious. Shaddowez does say that his content is better than vedith's but if you look at their ISOs up to that stage there's not too much difference and I feel that it's a bit sus to think that someone slightly less active than you is scum for the reason that their slightly less active than you.
This is only slightly suspicious to me though. It's an early vote, they don't have to mean much...
Or do they???
Part of Shaddowez's argument against me is voting for IS despite not being sold on Klick's theory (beginning of
574), as a 'best there is' vote.
Now, there are two options with the Vedith vote. Either shaddowez's vote is because Vedith is a 'serious scumread' and if that's the case then my big problem with that is covered in the first paragraph, or it's just a vote for the best person he can think of without a strong reason. And I would not have much of a problem with this last portion... if he didn't have a problem with me doing a similar thing. Sorry for the long-winded explanation of that point, but I think that as town he would realise that hey, a problem he has with me was something that he's done himself, so I don't believe he would start suspecting me for that.

The main thing I've found suspicious since my expressed scumread in
507 is what stems from
522.
This post is flawed because a lack of counterwagon to wanderer shouldn't indicate much as to her alignment. If she's werewolf then she has no buddies to counterwagon for her, and even if she's mafia then the one buddy she does have would have to be careful about how they respond to the situation so as not to give themselves away (I didn't mention the mafia part until later though). So the slight town read there didn't make a whole lot of sense to me and I point it out. No big deal really.
541 misunderstands what I was trying to say, but I don't like the way he sets himself up to scumread me despite not even understanding what I mean.
And then in
560 he's trying to imply that because I'm saying that WW aren't going to counterwagon since there's only one of them, that I know wanderer's not scum. This is all stemming from me just saying that shaddow's reasoning is inherently flawed (and especially the WW part), and jumping on my attempts to explain that, so I believe that it's an opportunistic attack on me.

And lastly, he mentions my vote for Vedith as suspicious despite agreeing with me at the time? Hmmmm.
Sorry for this being longer than I promised, but can we vote Shaddow now and not not_mafia?
