I'm not claiming that - what I'm questioning is why I need to 'burn in fire' for doing the, as you say, RIGHT THING.
I mean, a response of "oh man, I still wanted to talk to Egg about X" would have been fine.
Or saying, "darnit Thor, too soon!" - okay, that makes sense.
Or even a "Hey, Thor, what were your reasons beyond lulz, or was that really it?" also would have made sense.
Instead you just empty attacked me - and your answer is because I didn't do..."things"
Please ignore that you can';t think of "things" but, darnit, "things" existed, and better wagons too, if only we had done the "things" that someone else, like Thor, should have done, ergo, Thor should be attacked - even though no one can say what the "things" are.
...nah, I don't really see that.
Like, at all.
Doesn't make sense as a standpoint to me, consequently I kind of feel like you're not following a true narrative, but are just attacking me because "hey, lulz vote - scummy" sells well, and also because you were quite content with the Egg lynch not affecting that call because you already knew what Egg would flip.
No?

We are compensated by avoiding game drag.
20 pages in.
Lots of people feeling listless.
No new info.
People sitting on Egg votes not seeing anything else to do.
All of that is pro scum and anti-town.
That's factually incorrect. You can disagree with my conclusion, but I assuredly did point out the lack of logic I saw.
Because I think you're scum.
You scum, for reasons stated.
Ircher, scum, for reasons stated.
Egg town, for reasons stated.
Shannon, slight town, for reasons stated.
I do not believe I have, and if I have I'm unaware of doing so, thus cannot answer the reasons. Bad upbringing maybe?

I have provided it - it's certainly as strong as any I've seen to explain his scumminess - heck, you don't even have a case for his scumminess and agree he's not the best lynch so...like, why are you shocked that I share that thought process?
In post 548, YawningAngel wrote: Why is a fake hammer more productive for gauging reactions than doing what you advocate for in your wiki article?
I don't think it is more or less productive, but it was more useful at that particular moment since I was just replacing in and there was already double hammer intent. Kind of hard to add pressure to Egg at that stage via a third hammer intent.
