Thor, so are you saying that you asked Nacho his thoughts on you vs. Zdenek just for your personal edification? That threat to hammer Feysal if Nacho reassured you that you were totally making Zdenek look like Barack Obama in the first presidential debate--it wasn't true?
Also, how much of this game have you read? And do you have a reason for thinking Feysal is town in a vacuum, not just "People's reasons for suspecting Feysal are bad"?
I was going to tell you why I suspected you
again
, Thor, but then I remembered this:
In post 2741, Thor665 wrote:Why am I such an obv. scumbag?
I would expect Mina to want to scream that one from the heavens to prove how clever she is, so...?
And I think I should learn to control my raging ego and not show off.
To add to Lyanna's point, I'll add that I wouldn't have minded if you found Zdenek's interpretation of Feysal's meta suspicious, but then you 1) pushed that one point beyond all proportion, acting as though he was confirmed scum, and 2) seemed not to have noticed that the rest of Zdenek's play was town-motivated, or that those kind of opinions aren't out of character for him.
(Tyene, remind me to link to that article if I somehow end up in a game with MagnaofIllusion again and he goes, "You've just announced that you refuse to respond to my point-by-point rebuttal of your post, or to interact with me in anyway? That means I win, because you've given up!" Speaking of which, I think I'd be less confused if this was MoI and not Thor. I'm surprised to see someone who says "BullSmurf" with a straight face be so abrasive and irritable this game. Link to a scum game where he played similarly to this--ideally with an explanation as to how--by the way? And while you're at it, the game where Timeater swore off making personal attacks ever?)
I'm not StefanB-level confident that Feysal is a mislynch, Nacho. (My weak gut town reads--as opposed to my
strong
gut town reads--aren't super-reliable, and I might be severely underrating his scum game.) I'd also feel a lot better if he wasn't using his temper tantrum as an excuse to avoid the thread. And I believe that you believe in your case on Feysal.*
But
this post, in particular, looks genuine--the bolded as well as other comments he's made feel as though he's genuinely angry that he can't keep up with the game, and in more of a town "not enough time to scumhunt" way). It's also the unbridled rage he manifests at having his Starbuck case doubted, and his reaction to the people voting him for what he sees as stupid reasons (yes, I'm a hypocrite for finding it scummy when Thor does it, but I think this is player- and context-dependent). Even when Feysal is scum, he isn't duplicitous when it comes to his emotions. I agree with Tammy that his first couple of posts were bad, but later on, it seemed as though he was trying to read people (although yes, multiball).
This post is pretty solid, for example. His greenknight reread wasn't as bad/confirmation-biasy as I'd remembered it being at the time, either.
My other half also thinks Feysal is a suboptimal lynch due to being generally easy to read--therefore, if we're
not
confident on his alignment yet, we should wait a day phase or so for it to become obvious one way or another.
*Since you said you wanted people's reads on you: at the time, I felt as though your reaction to the Choose kind of cleared you, since you seemed genuinely eager to get chosen and helped the wagon along. Since then, I had some niggles based on your inactive period and based on a couple of things you've said that felt a bit forced/overconfident, but found you protown overall...but it takes a lot of energy and stress for me to decide if someone's scum, so it's a waste for me to expend it on you.
