It's that he only started "actually" scumreading him once Egix placed Overkill at L-2, i.e. when it became the first major wagon of the game. This seems to me like scum going for an easy D1 lynch. The fact that it was his RVS vote is more or less irrelevant; it's that it became a serious vote after overkill became an easier target. Essentially I'm doubting that GrandWazoo's reasons for voting Overkill are town-aligned.
So my vote only became "serious"
after
somebody else voted Overkil1? Seems to me your beef is with Egix, though putting someone at L-2 is hardly "going for an easy lynch." I don't really pay attention to wagons until they hit L-1.

I've already explained my motivations for voting Overkil1 and they weren't random.

It's not, but continuing to press the issue is relevant. Point is, is not worth basing a case on. It's unfortunate because I think the push on you has scum hiding in it.

You aren't really addressing my point. When you look at Overkill's ISO, he said "tbf" one time and lumping it into your post saying that Overkill used "tbh" was very misleading in my opinion, it wasn't just an exaggeration. Additionally, in general I'm not even sure how helpful this information would be, so adding in misleading information makes me think you are scummy. The only defense you are giving me is this generate discussion line, which feels thin.

Official Vote Count 1.07“A pernicious excitement to learn and play chess has spread all over the country, and numerous clubs for practicing this game have been formed in cities and villages…chess is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler acquirements … they require out-door exercises–not this sort of mental gladiatorship.”

@RCEenigma: I agree with your reasoning about the overki11 wagon, who do you think is scum on it?

I'm still thinking Roo is mafia, and would think 1 of the team on, one off. Which makes egix and overki11 pretty town for me... I remain conflicted re GW as don't like their play but process of elimination suggests no. So not my preferred lynch for today.

My line of thinking was that Enigma wouldn't be willing to vote Wazoo, because why would he vote someone who he thought was being pushed by scum? That would make no sense.
As for that last question, I don't feel it would yet be a good idea to answer it, seeing as Enigma hasn't yet responded since my previous post. I wouldn't want to give a potential scum!Enigma any ideas as to what I would expect him to say.

One of Roo or Yellow, both ping me in different ways. I will say that in yellows case it isn't necessarily them, but how people have played around him. If that makes sense.

Outside of that, Egix isn't on the wagon but I think a scum case could be made there too. His last post comes off weird in the end and I keep rereading it. They don't scumread me or they wouldn't piggyback off my read. So why veil your thought process in case I'm scum? I dunno just seems like a weird disconnect.

Just being pragmatic here. Somebody needs to be strung up.

Your Roo vote was back on P1 and you've barely mentioned it since. Give me a reason other than the lamist post.

firstly I really only need 1 reason to scumread anyone, and stick to it.
Secondly I might post a wall or something later sometime in the next 24 hours.
