What makes you think that people have a higher chance of getting on board with your gut Transcend lynch than they have of getting on board with your active lurker Norska lynch?
I was explicitly told that my reason for Norska was unconvincing.

Am I correct in surmising that your read on me can be said to be mostly gut, then?

Well, here's a question for you. What am I wriggling out of?
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

VOTE: Charloux

I think it's possible that wcsbo has a couple of bad reads vs. him white knighting a town.

This slot doesn't deserve any towncred fwiw and I wouldn't mind the death of it.

Neither one, but definitely Charloux.

Like Misa said he's only been active when he's been under suspicion. Plus his posts are really bad. And he's mellowed out once suspicion went on wcsbo. And he's not even given his opinion on wcsbo white knighting him.

You're asking a lot of piercing questions and pretty logical conclusions that I agree with. You're spreading out your interrogations, getting information from everyone, but it doesn't feel like you're trying to misdirect us or shift the focus away from a scum. You're being helpful like a competent townie, without it feeling like you're shepherding people like me. I'm not certain, and I'm open to any more information that could change my reading of you. But if you do turn out to be scum, hats off to you for a good game.
In post 227, WeCanSimplyBeOurselves wrote: But I don't think Norska is scum anymore now anyway. I think Transcend is far more likely to be Accountant's scum buddy than Norska. My gut tells me now that they're working together.
What changed your mind? In 221 you said your case for voting me was stronger than your case on Transcend. Then six posts later I'm town but T is still scum? Also, I can't see how post 193 took your reading of Accountant from slight town to maximum scum. I can sorta see your argument, but it feels like a pretty major shift in direction.

Yes.
In post 251, Accountant wrote: Well, here's a question for you. What am I wriggling out of?
What you were saying before you pretended to just realize that what you were saying was a bad idea.

Unless what you were saying was something you would only say as town.

But I think it's something you would say as either alignment.

And I think when you said you "just realized" that seemed not genuine.

And I think that that was a safer option for you than just hoping that no one would spot that what you'd said beforehand was a bad idea.

If you know what I mean.

Okay exhausted, going to bed now.

I don't understand. If I would say that as either alignment, what motive would I have for covering it up as scum?

Surprisingly enough, it's a townlean. I think newb!Scum would try to buddy the IC rather than hard tunnelling them and claiming gut. That sort of behavior comes more often from frustrated town or someone who has a really strong instinct but can't explain why - in fact, I can't think of any reason why scum!WCS would want to do this.

Hmm that surprises me indeed. I can think of 2 reasons.
The first one is distancing from his scumbuddy.
The second one would be the same i said about the Transcend vote. Pushing someone else then Charloux that is widely townread even more then Transcend and has a very low possibility of stopping the lynch on Charloux.

You think WCS is white-knighting Charloux but pushing a lynch he knows won't go through to get her lynched while washing his hands of it?

Well, that's a possibility I've both considered and mentioned. I could definitely see it with Transcend. But I feel as though his rants about how scummy I am are genuine.

I think thats a possibility and to me it seems very likely to be the case.
I can agree that its awkward that he would do the same thing again though. But that doesnt mean scum!WCS wouldnt do it.

Would probably be a combo of Misa/Manuel/WCSBO

But you're scum. This is a very manipulative post and until i said something about it, you've done nothing to deflect the forming wagon on WCSBO.

You manipulated my post so that it turns out i had scum motivation and you appear to be doing something productive when you aren't.
See? It's easy to see scum motivation in every post. But you know what? Nobody will give 2 F**** even if i call you out if i get a guilty on you, but they will jump at my neck if you say "Let's lynch him". The reason is because the masses want to be lead, and they join the first wagon that forms. They also like to label those with unique personality as outcasts and try to get rid of them. If you want me lynched do it yourself! Don't pretend you are pushing me when all you do is leave Accountant to do the mental work!

This is a good point raised by Transcend, though; he's not just throwing random accusations at you. Do you have a response to this?

Lol

My push on you has been independent.

In fact, i was the one who started it.

You're correct in that Accountant has added a lot of power to the push, probably more than me.

But I've made points on you that differ from his.

In post 36, Transcend wrote:Norska null, leaning gut scum
Charloux prob scum
VOTE: Charloux
And yes, i tend to get reads really quickly.
What did you find scummy in my first two posts?
