I haven't been paying much attention to him this game, so I am currently null on him. I retract my scumpoint on him for the perceived self-contradiction, as I realised I failed to see the context of the quote.
I did notice Ari's townslip though. Then again, he posted some things which I didn't like, for example this:

How was it irrelevant at all?
You saw a self contradiction, with a joke attached, and you found that to be irrelevant. Why was it irrelevant when it was clearly the part that distinguished the entire sentence as a joke?
Surely you can see the relevancy here
At that point I was just skimming through text and wasn't paying attention to the context of the quote.

Soo.... Looking for something scummy, without actually reading what anyone was saying. Or was that just for Ari since he had the largest wagon at the time?
Also, when I flip town, don't immediately let Postie be town because of it.
I mean, she's town for other reasons, but this tying herself to me and "well flip Ari then if you think i'm scum with him" stuff is giving me odd vibes, as if she knows I'll flip town and can then counter arguments with that.
Just a thought.
Inb4 ninjas, as I started writing this an hour ago and then shit went weird at work.

Like I hear it all the time but it seems really strange to me, is that a normal thing in England or what? What even is a Jelly Baby? Does it come from the world of J.R.R. Toklien?
A Jelly Baby is a type of sweet!
We don't tend to offer each other jelly babies all the time, though, that was just a weird Doctor Who thing, the earlier Doctors' "Fantastic!" or "Allons-y!"
They look like weird faceless potbellied candy dolls....
In post 231, Aristophanes wrote:Dav, why the seemingly sudden switch to not wanting Postie copped?
Because I've decided she's likely enough to be town for it to be a waste.
In post 234, lane0168 wrote:Sword never picked up the role pm... You, my fine fellow, are making assumptions that can be verified, yet you don't bother to check into them, you just throw them out there as truth. And that is scummy
isn't that how I always play? I tend to just let words flow out like rain into a paper cup.
Did you ever respond to postie's question about this? Why did you decide she was "likely enough to be town?"
Please answer? Why did you decide to townread Postie?
In post 374, lane0168 wrote:Alright... What I wanted to say before but refrained from saying is that I really didn't like Bnl's post AT ALL. I'm amazed at the audacity to snip that sentence and play it off as a major scum slip. I was hoping he was going to be watching for a reaction, but it appears he just dropped it off and left.

VOTE: bnl
Yeah, I really disliked it as well.
I guess this is my first place to reread and reconsider my Readsllist...
Feeling much better about Lane
Agree that 349 is the scummiest post in the game
Can you all explain why you dislike it so much? Aristo's post was only 2 before BNL's, I don't think BNL was deliberately misrepping something that could easily be read in full by anyone who bothered to look. I've done this before (highlighting only the relevant parts as I see it) and people jumped all over me for it even though it came from town!me. I don't think it's BNL being scummy and his reaction seemed pretty calm. I also don't like how fast this wagon popped up. Fast wagons give me really icky feelings.
Can I get answers from yall? (I know lane kind of explained it in his argument with BNL, but Aristo and GL have yet to respond)
You're phrasing it as if BNL used this snipped quote and insisted that Aristo was scum because of it, but he never used that quote to base a case or push on. He said he questioned what he thought was a contradiction because he didn't get the joke (and I don't think this is that unusual). I don't think it was a deliberate misrepresentation if he was taking Aristo's words at face value, and genuinely thought that Aristo was contradicting himself in the first half of the sentence and the second half was irrelevant. I'm pretty sure I've seen this before from people who don't live in English-dominated countries.
In post 469, lane0168 wrote:Postie, why do you get off every wagon that gets momentum?
Because either the person reacts to the pressure in a town way (Davsto) or the momentum gained feels unnatural and people are giving stupid reasons for getting on the wagon (BNL).

In post 461, Postie wrote:Actually the amount of support for the BNL lynch is concerning. I think every single person except H&H, TheCow, and Flubber has pushed the wagon. I'm townreading H&H and TheCow, so that leaves BNL/Flubber as the only likely scumteam if BNL is scum - but then, why not lynch Flubber since he's going to be harder to read?
UNVOTE:
Wtf? You want to make your scum team now, and one of them has momentum, but you want to lynch the other one because they're harder to read, so you unvote, but don't put your vote anywhere else? Wtf? That's all sorts of crap
No, either you're misunderstanding completely or misrepping. I'm saying that the only likely way the BNL wagon could have gotten this much support is if the scumteam is BNL/Flubber, but Flubber is harder to read, so even if this was the case it would be silly to lynch BNL first.
I don't want to lynch Flubber today though, because a likelier explanation for the BNL wagon getting so much support is that it's being driven by scum.
Warming to the idea of an Aristo or lane lynch. The BNL-was-misrepping argument is stupid. I'd prefer lane over Aristo though because Aristo's townslips remind me of when I kept townslipping in Newbie 1664 and Frozen Angel was all "OMG stop making fake townslips!" when really I was just an idiot.
In post 481, BNL wrote:Also, Postie and GL, can you explain your Cow townread? Currently having him as null, don't see anything that makes him town.
The way he just randomly pops up, throws out a lot of random thoughts, and then disappears feels town to me somehow. Idk. His thoughts feel unfiltered.
In post 490, Aristophanes wrote:How he missed the context is beyond me and I deem it unlikely and scummy.
The same way town-you couldn't possibly have missed the "6 VTs, 1 Cop, and 2 goons" in colourful letters in the opening post, right? Why are you holding BNL to a higher standard than yourself?

I think there is/was scum on the BNL wagon, so my lynchpool for today is Aristo/lane/GL. I've explained why I don't want to lynch Aristo, so that leaves lane and GL. I'm not a fan of GL, but he hasn't really done enough for me to get a proper read on him, whereas I don't like the way lane sounds like he's
trying
to make certain things sound scummy. I thought his jump onto the Davsto wagon and subsequent attempts to cast shade on Davsto were blehh too.
