Eh, fine. I wasn't looking at it with regard to my post.
Still, why did you NOT jump off it?
Because Xegarus hasn't posted enough content under pressure to get an accurate read yet. And Mothrax would have to be the dumbest of all scums to hammer so early on when there is clearly more to be discussed.
Ergo threat of hammer by Mothrax is akin to North Korea trying to threaten the US with a nuclear strike.
But it's not about the hammer itself. I was afraid that Xegarus would claim prematurely and that cannot be good for town.

Eh, if that makes me look like scum so be it. I didn't do it to look like town but because I wanted to save town from making a mistake.
How do you know town would be making a mistake?
Who would be making a mistake, those of us voting for Xeg already, or Mothrax for hammering?
If it is a mistake, why do you call Xeg scummy and still voice support to vote him at a later time?
Only playing in games at personal moderator and/or 50%+ playerlist request.
If xerg is scummy for lurking (I know it's not the only point against him) what are people's opinions on CE?
I'm not happy with how she's not even making an attempt to participate, but I'll need more from her before I can attempt to read her. Actually, since I'm not voting anyone right now, and don't have any scumreads aside from Xeg, might as well do this
Isn't claiming early a bad thing for town though? Where else did you think my head was? I don't expect anyone to hammer in a hurry here. Town would know better and it would be a dead giveaway from scum to do so.
I mean at it's most primal level, the only real "mistake" you should be worried about is getting town lynched; withholding support on a wagon because of underdeveloped interactions that could lead to a better idea of who might be scum is perfectly reasonable.
You're emphasizing claiming rather than emphasizing what his alignment might be when he does flip. That is weird to me.
Well, this happened in the first (and only) game I've played where someone pretty much every one thought was scum was forced to claim within a few RL days and he turned out to be a PR. So I would rather not have a repeat of that here if we can avoid it. Besides, there's no real harm done in unvoting at this point to give us time to get a better look at other players.
What is your read on Mr. E? Elvis brought up an interesting point against his over cautiousness about the Xeg wagon when it wasn't really much of a wagon a few pages back. And I don't think he's posted since. Yup, just checked the activity log and he's about due for a prod.
Alright. Why have you not voted Xeg, despite saying that you support his wagon? I see your vote is still on Wisdom. Do you find him scummier than Xeg? And are your reasons for this still the same?
1) I addressed this -- I really don't want to end the day at all right now; Xegarus read is there but interactions with everyone are lacking. Pretty much no one is commenting on things NOT Xegarus (except Majiffy -- good on him for that)
2) Wisdom looked scummy early and hasn't really done anything to change that. Do I find him scummier than Xeg at this point? I don't know -- I think I need to reread for that. Majiffy says I'm misreading Wisdom's meta and I'd actually like him to elaborate on that.
