Malakittens, around the time of
#469, guille2015 was indicating that he was in the process of catching up. If that was the case, he would have come across my question and addressed it. Later on, when it was clear that he wasn't addressing it, I quoted it and added a vote to emphasize that I really did think this was scummy (along with the point about his reading Loranthaceae's posts) as I generally find people are more willing to answer questions when there's a vote on the line. Yes, it was L-1, but I wasn't remotely expecting Loranthaceae to waltz in and hammer like that. You say I should have avoided putting him at L-1 in case of a hammer, but in a game where there's a PR to claim, one really doesn't expect a hammer to come like that. Maybe if scum wants to cut off conversation, but usually that's a sign that the lynch in question will flip scum anyways, which reduces the utility of receiving an answer in any event.
As to why I didn't vote guille2015 when my initial question came up in
#436, at that point I still had a scum read on Loranthaceae. The only reason I changed my mind there and moved to guille2015 as my top suspect was because of Mehdi2277's argument that Loranthaceae was unlikely to be scum on a team with day talk and still posting in such an erratic fashion. That that argument persuaded me off a wagon I now think was likely town onto a scum wagon moves Mehdi2277 from leaning scum to town in my books.
I find it very interesting that Malakittens managed to go from a tentative town read on me for overlapping on a reason to find guille2015 scummy (and seeming to have no objection to my L-1 vote) to opening the day finding me scummy, if I'm interpreting her posting correctly. Then she confuses my vote with Loranthaceae's hammer, when she specifically commented on the hammer at the end of the day, like she's reaching for reasons to find me scummy. I'm not saying that people don't become genuinely mixed up over the night phase, but I don't think I've ever quick-hammered in a game with Malakittens, even in places where I should (!) so why she'd have me in memory as the quickhammer, I don't know.
I'm also not quite sure about her NK speculation. My understanding through three town-Malakittens games is that she prides herself on NK analysis. I do see that she's speculated a bit that CityElectric might have guided the NK to T-Bone because he didn't like her lurking, but if that's what she really thinks, I'd expect her to spend more time pushing the read, even if she doesn't emphasize where it comes from; instead she's letting herself be diverted into weakly supported arguments.
That being said, Malakittens is correct that CityElectric hasn't been particularly pro-town in her postings, plus
#526 is daring us to lynch her. Which is scummy as all get-out. I'm willing to see what CityElectric comes up with under increased pressure, so
VOTE: CityElectric
