As mort will argue later, this is just dumb. Obviously this entire account is designed to be played this way. The whole formatting is mostly a way to remind you that I am playing on a 24-hour delay. Annoying or not, it's not
scummy
. If you want to make the case for a policy lynch, by all means do that. But instead you're going to argue I'm scummy for it.
In reality, I think you're upset that I have the gall to go after
you
, the most established player in the game who is actually active. Your cries of "OH MY WORD, HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT ANYONE ELSE" seem to provide evidence of this. I think as town you'd probably be likely to shrug it off, but here you feel like you're playing well, so why should a BAD (from your perspective) attack be able to succeed. Or something. So you want to punish me. Even though you don't believe me to be scum. In fact, I suspect you know I'm not scum.

This is really the first major trinket of anything I've really had to go on. My reads have been in flux because there's really been a whole lot of nothing going on, and I'm disliking what Time Traveler is doing because all he's doing is focusing on one of the most active players in the game, (IE: Me) which is going to have a net effect of encouraging players to continue doing exactly what they are doing.
I haven't really found anyone's lack of activity particularly noteworthy aside from that.
Note the complete disconnect here. He's pissed that I go after him, an active player who has actually done something scummy. Then he TURNS AROUND and says "oh. there's nothing noteworthy in this game."
Well gosh. Which is it?

I've seen her as town and scum (I was also in that newbie game that Morton linked where she flipped scum) and am getting mostly scum-vibes from her posts so far.
Pretty scummy vote.

However if you look at the other game he so graciously pointed out, you will find that he pushed a fair bit on my predecessor (Field Armada), and he continued a pattern of tunneling on other players til he was lynched.
Both the games he and I were in he was town. I think he is town but not looking at the big picture and tunneling too much.
This is a vaguely scummy defense. Because it's making the argument that he's a bad player (even though he nailed Rach on both times he tunneled), so he should be
ignore
. Not that he's doing it as scum because then she'd have to take a stand on the alignment of mort, but that his attacks should be dismissed out of hand.
