Alright, here's where I come in again to catch up on this Day.
And an interesting time to come in too. The last couple of post vis-a-vis Salamence defending on CES' behalf and CES taking that in his stride bring me back to answering the following question...
In post 612, Junpei wrote:pieceofpecanpie wrote:I'd hate to open up the floor to speculation immediately, but Brundi/Salamence & Cogito our long lost scum team?
Is that a question or do you have a reason to believe this?
Yes, it is a question in the sense that I want to responses from both you and Whiskers on it, and yes I have reasons to believe this.
I noted on the previous Day that CES was quite happy to defend Brundibar in
Post 457 and again in
Post 555. Let's look at those two posts:
Post 547 is trivial, CES says
Brundibar looks town to me.
In the same way you could say Brundibar looks like a kitten or a fireman, it has no rationale behind it that could come into question.
Post 555 contains two thoughts. Firstly he chooses to not expand on any thoughts for his vote on Alduskkel and the looming lynch. Why? Goodness knows, but it reeks. Secondly, a minor point made on why Brundi seems town, which to me seems damning not because of the point raised but what he chooses to ignore. Remember, this is well before Brundi replaced out, and so a pattern of lurking, weakly justified hammers, and a curious vote on Alduskkel the previous Day with no comment on the major bus (ICE/VE) all seem like things worth scrutinising and discussing. However, the pattern of getting some extensive thoughts from CES on Alduskkel seems continued with his lack of extensive thoughts on why Brundi seems town.
That Brundi remained absent in light of comments and questions towards him remains damning in itself. Even when taking into account that he replaced out afterwards, this doesn't account for my suspicions of his play in earlier Days. Here are two such moments where questions which I have asked Brundibar previously had been ignored:
Post #432
Why are your votes doing all the talking when you, crucially, seem to keep reasons for doing so to yourself?
FoS @ Brundibar
Post #498
Brundibar, can you explain why you prefer Alduskkel over VE?
Now I am at least grateful that Salamence has become active after replacing Brundibar. But this hasn't changed my suspicions, both due to the aforementioned defensiveness on CES' behalf and also in
Post 602 the following is said,
"Cogito Ergo Sum
Faction: Null/town
Can't get a good read, but willing to trust him over the above two.
"
Now where have I heard something like this before? Oh right, CES giving his opinion on the Brundibar/Salamence. They're both calling each other town, but can't really say why. I'm not buying it. Scum team ahoy if you ask me. As a small thought on the side CES saying that I
just seem town
in
Post 626 is nice to hear and all, but it again lacks any reasoning and justification and to me just seems like a statement made out of convenience rather than anything else.
Some thoughts on the other two:
Whiskers, I would love to hear something from you. I've got a town read on you for various reasons, however one of those is because of my deeper suspicious towards CES/Salamence, which doesn't exactly clear your name. Now is not the time for town to get flakey and remain silent.
Junpei is all town to me. His slot (ac) made an extremely early case on Pine's fakeclaim and was instrumental in bringing about the scum lynch. Since then Junpei has taken up the scumhunting torch and in my eyes has given a clear run of thoughts and questions to aid towns quest. I would like to add that although I believe the interest into whether I should be cleared or not was directed at CES, if you have something to to ask me Junpei you should do so. Are you holding back some thoughts of your own?
