I'll remember that after any cop claims?
Weird.
Also, why aren't you weighing in on the back and forth between Copper and I as regards the playstyle of your bud as scum?
I already know by powers of meta that Choof was most likely not scum. I already stated that Copper was right in his "read" of Choof which shows he did research and gives him +10 townie points. You on the other hand seem to be 1) not reading my statements closely and\or 2) having trouble comprehending the statements I already made regarding this entire situation. Try not jumping off the Cliff of Blah Blah Did Not Read Carefully and Is Therefore Wasting My Time.
As for cop claims, that's jumping the gun a bit and also not related in any way since there are no cop claims on the table nor can they be at this stage in time? If there were a cop claim I would obviously view it quite differently?

There are many reasons someone may choose not to hop on a flashwagon - that is why I asked him for his reasons. I actually do not find either sheep or lone wolves particularly inherently scummy until alignment flips start happening, and care more about forcing people to make such stands so I can read the attitudes later.
Where I'm lost is why you're asking me "why would you want to know his reasons?"
That question literally sounds like it is based on the concept that *not* understanding motivation is a core component of scumhunting. Like...you're asking me *my* reasons, why then is it unusual to you that I'd ask him for his reasons?
Where is this line of questioning going?
Seriously? [/quote]
That is not what I asked at all so try not putting words in my mouth. Thinking about motivations and mindsets is important although not flawless. I recently got burned trying to townread someone who I thought was doing what I do as town but was in fact scum. However, rather then question a new player who is obviously in RVS stage - as you chose to do - I would scum hunt the people joining the flashwagon or those who didn't seem to be RVSing. I like independent thought more then sheep thought.
So I'm questioning your mindset at that stage in the game where you chose to focus on a newbie player rather then some of the apparent heavyweights.
From my perspective people who focus on newbies or the newish are generally more likely to be scum looking for easy targets. Not that I've ever been an easy target. Still I see it happen a lot. For example Sakura pointing out that my fluff and RVS questions were "newbie"ish and then voting me and then dropping the vote and basically having no tangible case on me at all but I'm leaving Sakura alone for now because I like cherry blossoms. And there are other people to run through the Database such as yourself.
Varsoon, I have to say part of me really wants you dead now. I hate town lies to town. Not to say that I haven't done it but usually its been my life on the line and at that point when there is possibly no other option. On the most part it never works well for town, better to be evasive or crumb secretly through seeming fluff then to actually need to lie.
Copper, don't abuse the term "policy lynch." The goal of the game is to lynch scums.
you are funny I'll admit, I am not answering on purpose until you fix your form of address to others.
